Product Details

Features

The Microflex® Advance™ Ceiling Array is a premium networked array microphone that captures best-in-class audio in varying AV Conferencing environments including boardrooms, huddle rooms and multi-purpose spaces. Revolutionary technology from the Shure DSP Utilities includes Steerable Coverage™, utilizing up to eight beams to capture participant audio from overhead. Watch our MXA910 Steerable Coverage Video

Browser-based control software provides an intuitive user interface for microphone attributes including lobe configuration, automatic mix settings and preset templates. Integrates seamlessly with Dante™ and AES67 Networked Audio, and third-party preset controllers including Crestron and AMX, delivering a high-quality AV Conferencing experience and an aesthetically pleasing and productive meeting space that appeals equally to integrators, consultants, and anyone using the ceiling array in their workday meeting spaces.

Designer System Configuration Software allows system integrators to configure multiple virtual MXA910 Ceiling Array Microphones in one tool. You can arrange the pickup lobes for all of the MXA910s over an imported room diagram to ensure precise coverage. Settings can be saved and then imported to each physical MXA910 on site.

Combine with our Designer system configuration software to configure multiple MXA910 installations with one tool.

    Recommendation

    Update all MXA910 devices in a configuration to the same firmware version.

    New Feature

    • A device-wide, low-frequency filter can now be enabled with a new Low-shelf Filter button on the browser-based web application.

    Known Issue

    • When exporting Presets using Safari on a Mac OS, the file type is saved incorrectly and must be renamed to .json to be imported

    Notes

    • This optional update makes installation and configuration more efficient when running independent channels into processing hardware, such as an echo canceller or automixer, to reduce low frequency buildup when channels are summed. This update is unnecessary for MXA910 microphones that are already installed and well-configured, and may require the user to disable the low frequency filter if updated.
    • MXA910 version 1.3.4 is compatible with microphones running version 1.2.6 and below.
