Since its release in 2022, the MXA920 Ceiling Array has continued to set the bar for premium audio capture in AV conferencing. Now, the MXA925 builds on that foundation as an enhanced successor to the MXA920 for next-generation meeting rooms - raising the standard further with AI-enabled processing designed for today's collaboration demands. Together, these two ceiling arrays represent the pinnacle of Microflex® Advance™ engineering.

Exceptional Audio Precision and Clarity

At the core of both microphones is advanced beamforming technology. Both the MXA920 and MXA925 utilize over 100 MEMS microphone elements to create up to eight discrete audio beams, intuitively tracking and isolating voices in any setting. Automatic Coverage™ enables fast setup with 30 ft × 30 ft default coverage and the ability to configure up to eight coverage areas for more focused pickup - adapting intelligently to your unique space right out of the box.

Onboard IntelliMix® DSP — Now AI-Enabled

The MXA920 delivers proven IntelliMix® DSP performance, including Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Virtual Acoustic Boundary, Enhanced Noise Filtering, and Noise Reduction for demanding acoustic environments. The MXA925 takes to the next level with a completely new processing platform: onboard AI-enabled IntelliMix® DSP featuring AI AEC, AI Denoiser, and AI Deverb to keep speech clear and natural for remote participants and transcription. Ongoing firmware updates ensure the platform continues to improve over time.

Integration for Multiple Applications

Both microphones deliver real-time XYZ positional data for camera tracking and support voice lift applications via Steerable Coverage™ for matrix mixing and low-latency audio routing. Precise coverage control helps improve isolation between pickup areas and loudspeakers in voice lift and sound reinforcement applications. For IT teams managing rooms at scale, ShureCloud enables remote monitoring, firmware updates, and software license deployment.

A Roadmap to Superior Audio Experiences

Whether you're an AV consultant, IT manager, or systems integrator, Microflex Advance remains a proven, trusted audio capture platform.
