Today, Shure announced that Microflex® Advance™ Ceiling (MXA910) and Table
(MXA310) Array microphones are now shipping. This portfolio of premium
networked ceiling and table array microphones, audio interfaces, and control
software for enhanced A/V conferencing integrate seamlessly into premium meeting
space aesthetics. Shure Microflex Advance offers elegant, versatile, and scalable
solutions for A/V conferencing spaces that require pristine speech intelligibility.
With the ability to flush-mount the MXA910 alongside standard ceiling tiles, and the
innovative new-to-the-world “toroid’ polar pattern in the MXA310, these
microphones offer a dynamic package of technologies to ensure a best-in-class
audio experience. Microflex Advance also presents an enhanced evolution of the
Company’s industry-leading IntelliMix® Digital Signal Processing Suite, including
Steerable Coverage™ technology, enabling incredibly accurate control of audio
capture in any location within a meeting space. Lastly, Microflex Advance Array
Microphones use the Dante™ Audio Networking protocol, with all control, audio, and
power signals carried through a single standard Ethernet cable connection.
The MXA910 is a premium networked array microphone that captures best-in-class
audio from above the meeting space with Shure proprietary Steerable Coverage
technology, enabling up to eight lobes that are configurable in three dimensions.
Designed for A/V conferencing environments—from boardrooms to huddle rooms
and multi-purpose spaces—the MXA910 can be flush-mounted in any standard
ceiling tile grid. In addition, the MXA910 can also be installed below the ceiling with
standard VESA-D and wire hanging mounts.
The MXA310 captures high-quality audio and provides flexibility in varying A/V
conferencing environments. Within the on-board IntelliMix DSP Suite, Shure’s
proprietary Steerable Coverage technology deploys up to four discrete audio
channels around a table and uses an innovative new “toroid’ ring-shaped pattern to
reject unwanted artefacts from overhead such as HVAC or projector fans.
Programmable capacitive-touch mute switches ensure simple user operation with
the ability to customize LED colour and shape to indicate microphone status.
Offering easy and efficient analogue to digital/digital to analogue conversion, the
four Shure Audio Network Interfaces (ANI4IN and ANI4OUT) are also shipping and
provide seamless audio routing in and out of the Dante networked audio domain.
Available in standard XLR (mic/line) and block (mic/line) connector versions that
include LED and Mute switch pins for logic-enabled analogue microphones. All Audio
Network Interfaces include a single Ethernet port for easy Dante Audio routing and
a browser -based software for control of connectivity and monitoring.
All Microflex Advance hardware offerings feature built-in control software, providing
an intuitive interface to simplify the process of adjusting microphone attributes—
such as configuration of pre-sets, templates, and polar patterns. Microflex Advance
products integrate easily with third party controllers such as Crestron and AMX.
