Overview

General Description

The Shure Microflex Wireless Series (MXW) is a complete microphone solution for flexible meeting rooms and boardrooms. It

features automatic RF channel management, rechargeable wireless microphones with encryption (AES256), and digital audio

networking using Dante .

The MXW Access Point (APT) mounts to a ceiling or wall for discreet communication between the wireless microphones and

the digital audio network. Multiple access points can be used for installations that require simultaneous operation of up to 80

microphones in the same area, depending on the region. The MXW networked charging station charges and stores boundary

and gooseneck microphones for tabletop applications, as well as handheld and bodypack solutions for corporate training and

presentations. A web-browser control software is used for system setup and remote monitoring and control from any computer

connected to the network.

Features

Legendary Shure Quality

Premium Audio

All Microflex microphones are engineered to clearly capture the natural characteristics of

voice communications, and include CommShield Technology which guards against unwant

ed radio interference from consumer wireless devices such as cell phones and tablets.

Rechargeable Micro

phones

Each MXW microphone is powered from a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, which can be

charged at any time without removal from the microphone. Battery statistics are viewable

from the control software (battery runtime, time to full charge, charge cycle count and battery

capacity).

Discreet, Professional De

sign

Modern, lowprofile wireless microphone designs elegantly integrate into diverse AV environ

ments. By eliminating wires, MXW noticeably reduces clutter and provides professional ele

gance.

Encryption

The MXW wireless link is encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), as

specified by the US Government National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) pub

lication FIPS-197.

Advanced Networking and Control

Digital Audio Networking

Digital audio is carried over standard Ethernet using shielded Cat5e (or higher) cables. De

veloped with Dante technology by Audinate , MXW provides low latency, clock synchro

nization, and high Quality-of-Service (QoS) to provide reliable audio transport. Digital audio

can coexist safely on the same network as IT and control data, or can be configured to use a

dedicated network.

Automatic Frequency Co

ordination

The MXW Series uses automatic frequency coordination to quickly set up all of the micro

phones and achieve reliable, uninterrupted wireless communication. Microphones are as

signed to channels on an access point transceiver simply by arranging them in an associat

ed charging station and pressing the Link button. Multiple access point transceivers can

work together to support large installations or scalable rooms. Once Linked, the system au

tomatically scans the available RF spectrum and selects the best quality RF channels on

which to operate. Upon detecting interference, microphones automatically switch to the best

alternate RF channel determined during continuous background scanning.

Remote Control and Moni

toring

Microflex Wireless components and software are compatible with Crestron, AMX, and other

programmable controllers. Components interconnect with teleconferencing equipment and

digital signal processors.

BuiltIn RF Spectrum Scan

ner

The MXW Wireless components transmit in unlicensed spectrum that may be used by other

wireless devices (in particular wireless phones and headsets) operating in the same area.

The MXW access point features an RF scanner to document the average and peak RF inter

ference. The data provides an accurate estimate for the number of MXW channels that can

be safely operated in the scanned area.

Components of the MXW System

Microphone Transmitters

MXW microphones transmit an encrypted, wireless audio signal to the access point. Four form factors are available:

Hybrid Bodypack (MXW1) The bodypack secures to a belt or strap for hands-free, mobile communication. It features a

TQG input for lavalier connection and an integrated omnidirectional microphone.

Handheld (MXW2) The handheld enables presenters to communicate using legendary Shure SM58, SM86, BE

TA58 and VP68 microphone cartridges.

Boundary (MXW6/C,

MXW6/O)

The boundary transmitter sits on a table or desk to transmit speech while discreetly blending

into any conference environment.

Desktop Gooseneck Base

(MXW8) The gooseneck base is compatible with 5, 10, and 15” Microflex gooseneck microphones.

The MXW1, MXW6, and MXW8 microphones include a headphone output for monitoring audio, such as a translation channel.

Shure Incorporated

8/103

Access Point Transceiver

(MXWAPT2,

MXWAPT4,

MXWAPT8)

The Access Point Transceiver (2, 4 and 8 channel units) mounts to a wall or ceiling to manage encrypted, wireless audio con

nections with microphones. As a system hub, it transports digital audio between the wireless microphones and other Dante de

vices on the same network. The APT includes a webserver that hosts the MXW System control software, used for monitoring,

configuration, and remote control of the system.

Audio Network Interface

(MXWANI4,

MXWANI8)

The Audio Network Interface (4 and 8 channel) is a Dante network device that provides analog audio input and outputs for the

MXW system. It has a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch that enables the connection of an MXW access point, a computer and up

to two MXW networked charging stations.

Shure Incorporated

9/103

Networked Charging Station

(MXWNCS2,

MXWNCS4,

MXWNCS8)

The Networked Charging Station (2, 4 and 8 slot varieties) is capable of simultaneous charging MXW microphones. It also links

microphones to access point channels and networks battery statistics to the control software.

Note: The MXWNCS2 does not work with the MXW8 gooseneck microphones.

MXW Control Software

The MXW control software offers comprehensive remote control of key setup, monitoring and management functions. The soft

ware is accessible from any computer on the network, and opens in a web-browser using Adobe Flash .

Important: Desktop Gooseneck Base Microphones (MXW8) occupy two charging slots. For example, eight MXW8 micro

phones require two MXWNCS8 charging stations (16 charging slots total).

System Design and Technology

Technology Overview of the Audio Path

The MXW System combines Shure legendary audio quality with advanced digital networking technology. The following is an

overview of the audio path:

Wireless Audio

The MXW transmitter converts speech into a digital signal that is transmitted wirelessly to the access point.

Intelligent, automatic wireless audio management using the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT)

framework

Custom RF design enables higher audio quality and lower latency than most DECT systems

Digital Audio Network

The access point receives wireless audio from the microphones and distributes it to the audio network interface.

Low latency, tight clock synchronization, and high Quality-of-Service (QoS) provide reliable audio transport.

Digital audio is carried over Ethernet cables and standard IP equipment.

Audio coexists safely on the same network as IT and control data, or can be configured to use a dedicated network.

Analog Audio

The audio network interface converts network audio for each channel into analog outputs.

Sends analog audio to a mixer, Digital Signal Processor (DSP), or teleconferencing device.

Forming Groups and Linking Microphones

Once all the MXW components are connected to the network, they can be associated into Groups from the Configuration tab of

the control software. Each Access Point can form an association Group with one or two chargers (for Linking microphones) and

one or two audio output devices (for routing audio to analog outputs). The microphones can then be placed in the charger and

Linked to these access point channels.

Each Group is managed by a single access point. Microphones are Linked to channels in the access point, not to the charger

that was used to Link them. This relationship persists until the microphones are re-Linked or the access point is reset.

Configurations: Managing Multiple Groups

Configurations allow multiple Groups to share the same preferences and global controls. When an additional Group is added to

a Configuration page, a relationship is established across all devices in the configuration. The new Group will take on the set

tings of that configuration.

For specialized applications such as multiple room setup, several configurations can be created to independently control com

ponent Groups.
