General Description
The Shure Microflex
tm
Wireless Series (MXW) is a complete microphone solution for flexible meeting rooms and boardrooms. It features automatic
RF channel management, rechargeable encrypted (AES256) wireless microphones, and digital audio networking (Dante
tm
). The networked charging
station charges boundary and gooseneck microphones for tabletop applications, as well as handheld and bodypack solutions for corporate training and
presentations. The MXW Access Point mounts to a ceiling or wall for discreet communication between the wireless microphones and the digital audio
network. Multiple access points can be used for installations that require simultaneous operation of up to 40* microphones in the same area (*region
dependant). Web-browser based control software is used for remote monitoring and control from any computer connected to the network.
Component Overview
Access Point Transceiver
(MXWAPT4, MXWAPT8)
The Access Point Transceiver (4 and 8 channel
units) mounts to a wall or ceiling to manage
encrypted, wireless audio connections with
microphones. As a system hub, it transports
digital audio between the wireless microphones
and other Dante devices on the same network.
The APT includes a webserver that hosts
the MXW System control software, used for
monitoring, configuration, and remote control of
the system.
Microphone Transmitters
MXW microphones transmit an encrypted,
wireless audio signal to the access point. Four
form factors are available:
Hybrid Bodypack (MXW1)
The bodypack secures to a belt or strap
for hands-free, mobile communication. It
features a TQG input for lavalier connection
and an integrated omnidirectional
microphone.
Handheld (MXW2)
The handheld enables presenters to
communicate using legendary Shure SM58,
SM86, BETA58 and VP68 microphone
cartridges.
Boundary (MXW6/C, MXW6/O)
The boundary transmitter sits on a table
or desk to transmit speech while discreetly
blending into any conference environment.
Desktop Gooseneck Base (MXW8)
The gooseneck base is compatible with
5, 10, and 15” Microflex gooseneck
microphones.
The MXW1, MXW6, and MXW8 microphones
include a headphone output for monitoring audio,
such as a translation channel.
Networked Charging Station
(MXWNCS4, MXWNCS8)
The Networked Charging Station (4 and 8 slot
varieties) is capable of simultaneous charging
up to 4 (or 8) MXW microphones. It also
Links microphones to access point channels
and networks battery statistics to the control
software.
MXW Control Software
The MXW control software offers comprehensive
remote control of key setup, monitoring and
management functions. The software is
accessible from any PC or Mac on the network,
and opens in a web-browser using Adobe
®
Flash
