Shure Microflex Advance Microphones Now Shipping

Shipping is now available for the Shure Microflex Advance Ceiling (MXA910) and Table (MXA310) Array microphones.

The MXA910 captures audio from above the meeting space with Shure's proprietary Steerable Coverage technology, enabling up to eight lobes that are configurable in three dimensions. Designed for A/V conferencing environments, the MXA910 can be flush-mounted in any standard ceiling tile grid. In addition, it can also be installed below the ceiling with standard VESA-D and wire hanging mounts.

The MXA310 captures audio and provides flexibility in varying A/V conferencing environments. Within the onboard IntelliMix DSP Suite, Steerable Coverage technology deploys up to four discrete audio channels around a table and uses a new 'toroid' ring-shaped pattern to reject unwanted artifacts from overhead such as HVAC or projector fans. Programmable capacitive-touch mute switches ensure simple user operation with the ability to customize LED color and shape to indicate microphone status.

Offering analog to digital/digital to analog conversion, the four Shure Audio Network Interfaces (ANI4IN and ANI4OUT) are also shipping and provide 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 analog 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 presets, templates, and polar patterns. Microflex Advance products integrate easily with third party controllers such as Crestron and AMX.

Microflex Advance also presents an enhanced evolution of Shure's IntelliMix Digital Signal Processing Suite which includes Steerable Coverage technology, enabling accurate control of audio capture in any location within a meeting space. The microphones also use the Dante Audio Networking protocol with all control, audio, and power signals carried through a single standard Ethernet cable connection.
