Description

The Audix Novacore NCHEC wireless handheld system is a professional digital wireless microphone system built for live vocals, presentations and demanding stage environments where reliable performance and clear vocal reproduction are essential. Combining the NCR1 single-channel digital receiver, NCHH handheld transmitter and NCEC extended cardioid capsule, the system delivers detailed 24-bit digital audio with ultra-low latency and secure wireless operation for performers, engineers and production professionals. Built on the scalable Audix Novacore platform, the NCHEC is designed to provide dependable multichannel wireless performance in complex live sound environments.

NCEC Capsule With Natural Vocal Clarity

The included NCEC extended cardioid capsule utilizes Audix’s proprietary Very Low Mass (VLM) technology to deliver balanced, natural vocal response with excellent transient detail and strong feedback resistance. Its focused pickup pattern provides strong off-axis rejection to help reduce stage bleed and surrounding noise while maintaining articulate vocal clarity in live performance environments. Internal vibration damping helps minimize handling noise, making the system well suited for presentations, houses of worship, live music and other professional spoken-word and vocal applications.

Professional Digital Wireless Performance

At the center of the system is the NCR1 single-channel digital receiver housed in a rugged all-metal half-rack chassis. A high-visibility display provides easy access to metering, system status and onboard controls, while a rear-panel RJ11 connection supports remote monitoring and management through the Novacore Frequency Coordinator app. Wideband UHF digital wireless operation with a 48MHz tuning range supports flexible frequency coordination in complex RF environments, while AES-256 encrypted transmission and fast IR synchronization help maintain secure, stable wireless operation. Ultra-low latency under 3ms and a dynamic range greater than 116dB help preserve detailed, responsive vocal reproduction.

Rugged Handheld Design With Long Runtime

The NCHH handheld transmitter features durable metal construction built to withstand the demands of touring, live production and everyday stage use. An intuitive onboard menu system provides quick access to important system settings and controls for both engineers and performers. The transmitter supports either a rechargeable 18500 lithium-ion battery or standard AA batteries, delivering up to 16 hours of runtime for extended rehearsals, performances and events. For users who need dependable wireless stability, natural vocal clarity and scalable live sound performance, the Audix Novacore NCHEC system delivers professional digital wireless operation for demanding production environments.
