The 2025 TMEA Tencent Music Entertainment Festival was successfully held from August 22 to 24 at the Galaxy Arena in Macau. Under the theme "CHEERS FOR MUSIX," this year's event not only gathered the finest lineups from the Mandarin music scene but also broke the boundaries between reality and virtuality with cutting-edge surreal visual effects. It presented global music fans with an immersive musical feast that blended ultimate auditory and visual experiences.

Global top audio brand SHURE joined forces with Hong Kong's seasoned professional team Sound Works, with industry-veteran integrator JK Brothers Engineering overseeing the complete system integration. Leveraging precision technology that exceeds industry standards and artistic craftsmanship, the team constructed the ultimate acoustic architecture for this grand event—from wireless systems to microphone arrays, from mixing control to on-site calibration. Every note was delivered with pinpoint accuracy, every moment of the soundfield presented with breathtaking impact, all meticulously controlled to create an impeccable auditory legend for this Asia-level music spectacle.

The festival marked the debut of SHURE's new-generation 20-channel Axient Digital PSM system alongside 70 ADXR series receivers, elevating live audio to unprecedented heights with exceptional transmission precision and pristine sound quality. Here, technology and artistry converged in perfect harmony, where soundwaves resonated in sync with passion—let us raise our glasses to the infinite possibilities created by music!

1、Challenge Background

Since the stage was entirely surrounded by LED walls on all sides, wireless signals experienced significant attenuation during penetration, posing major challenges for stable reception.

2、Challenges Faced

(1) Extreme RF Environment:
The stage was surrounded by high-resolution massive LED walls, whose intense electromagnetic emissions significantly elevated the ambient RF noise floor, creating an impenetrable "wall of RF interference."

(2) Large-Scale Wireless System Deployment:
A total of over 70 channels of wireless audio equipment operated simultaneously within the same space, making frequency coordination exceptionally challenging. The available spectrum was severely narrowed and highly unstable due to LED interference.

(3) Restricted Antenna Placement:
Limited by the stage structure, antenna positioning was extremely constrained, requiring precise calculations and repeated field tests to identify optimal reception points.

3、Equipment List

•  Wireless Microphone Systems: 52 channels of Shure Axient Digital systems
•  Main Monitoring Systems: 20 channels of Shure Axient Digital PSM systems
•  Receivers: 70 units of ADXR series receivers
•  Auxiliary Monitoring Systems: 2-channel Shure PSM 1000 system with 22 P10R+ receiver packs

4、 Key to Success: Shure Axient Digital System

(1) Core Technology - True Digital Diversity:
The system intelligently combines signals through two independent RF paths, ensuring stable and uninterrupted audio transmission even in harsh RF environments with severe reflection and attenuation.

(2) Exceptional Spectrum Efficiency:
Even in standard mode, the system successfully operated all 52 microphone channels, demonstrating outstanding RF filtering performance and linear response, enabling tight frequency packing.

(3) Advanced In-Ear Monitoring System:
Axient Digital PSM delivers studio-grade pristine digital audio with exceptional spectrum utilization efficiency, while the proven PSM 1000 system provides reliable auxiliary monitoring.

(4) Intelligent Spectrum Management:
Utilized Shure Wireless Workbench (WWB) software for real-time scanning, monitoring, and precise frequency planning.

(5) Shure AD600 Axient® Digital Spectrum Manager

Served as an on-site "radar", performing continuous and rapid real-time scanning and monitoring of the spectrum to provide intuitive analysis of the RF environment.

(6) By deploying Shure AD610 ShowLink® access points
we successfully established real-time communication links with all ADXR series receivers in the 2.4 GHz band, providing unprecedented remote monitoring and control capabilities for the entire system. This enabled audio engineers to monitor key receiver parameters—such as transmitter battery status and RF link quality—in real time and remotely.

The success of this grand event not only demonstrated the extraordinary charm of Mandarin music, but also set a new benchmark for large-scale performance audio engineering. SHURE, with its exceptional technical capabilities, has proven its leadership in extreme challenging environments, perfectly complementing the professional team's expertise to jointly write a legendary chapter in live audio engineering. In the future, the integration of technology and art will undoubtedly unlock more infinite possibilities for live music experiences. Let us anticipate the next acoustic miracle to be created by SHURE and Sound Works together!
