System Overview
General Description and Features
The Microflex Wireless Series (MXW) is a complete solution for meeting room and presentation applications. Developed with Audinate's Dante technology, the
system routes digital audio over standard IP equipment across a network of access points, digital-to-analog converters and computers. Access points mount
to a ceiling or wall to communicate wirelessly with the microphones, distributing audio to the Dante network. RF coordination is automatic and continuous,
offering worry-free wireless audio transmission for up to 32 channels.
Dante Digital Audio Networking
Digital audio is carried over standard Ethernet using shielded Cat5e (or higher) cables. Dante provides low latency, tight clock synchronization, and high
Quality-of-Service (QoS) to provide reliable audio transport to a variety of Dante devices. Dante audio can coexist safely on the same network as IT and
control data, or can be configured to use a dedicated network.
Encryption
The MXW transmits secure, encrypted audio using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), which conforms to the US Government National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) publication FIPS-197.
Automatic Frequency Coordination
The MXW Series uses automatic frequency coordination to achieve worry-free, solid wireless communication. Frequencies are shared and time-divided
between multiple transmitters. A highly accurate time-sync allows multiple APTs to work together for up to 32 channels of wireless transmitters.
Microphones are assigned to channels by arranging them in the charger and pressing the link button. The APT assigns the microphones to a channel
according to the charger slot number.
Remote Control and Monitoring
The system can connect to a computer or 3rd party control system (AMX, Crestron, Extron, etc) for remote control and monitoring. The web browser-based
graphical user interface (GUI) enables RF spectrum management, audio routing, and microphone behavior.
Rechargeable Microphones
The MXW series microphones feature an internal rechargeable battery. Microphones charge directly in the charger without the battery removal. During a
charging cycle, the GUI displays battery information (battery runtime, charge cycle count and battery capacity). Up to xx hours of continuous use.
Built-In RF Spectrum Scanner
The MXW APT has the ability to scan the entire RF spectrum for a duration of time. The scan provides an accurate xx insight xx to a location's spectrum
availability during typical event hours.
