MXA920
Ceiling Array Microphone
Getting Started
Designer Setup
After completing this basic setup process, you should be able to:
Discover the MXA920 in Designer
Add coverage areas
Adjust DSP settings and route audio
You will need:
Cat5e (or better) Ethernet cable
Network switch that provides Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Shure Designer software installed on a computer. Download at
Step 1: Install and Connect
Install the microphone and connect it to a PoE port on the network switch using Ethernet cable.
Connect your computer running Designer to the same network.
Open Designer
. Check that you’re connected to the correct network in
Settings.
Go to Online devices. To identify devices, click the product icon to flash the lights on a device. Find the MXA920 in the
list.
Step 2: Route Audio
The easiest way to route audio and apply DSP is with Designer's Optimize workflow. Optimize
automatically routes audio sig
nals, applies DSP settings, turns on mute synchronization, and enables LED control for connected devices.
For this example, we'll connect an MXA920 and a P300.
