System Overview General Description The Shure Microflextm Wireless Series (MXW) is a complete microphone solution for flexible meeting rooms and boardrooms. It features automatic RF channel management, rechargeable encrypted (AES256) wireless microphones, and digital audio networking (Dantetm). The networked charging station charges boundary and gooseneck microphones for tabletop applications, as well as handheld and bodypack solutions for corporate training and presentations. The MXW Access Point 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 40* microphones in the same area (*region dependant). Web-browser based control software is used for remote monitoring and control from any computer connected to the network. Features Legendary Shure Quality Advanced Networking and Control Premium Audio All Microflex microphones are engineered to clearly capture the natural characteristics of voice communications, and include CommShield® Technology which guards against unwanted radio interference from consumer wireless devices such as cell phones and tablets. Digital Audio Networking Digital audio is carried over standard Ethernet using shielded Cat5e (or higher) cables. Developed with Dantetm technology by Audinate®, MXW provides low latency, clock synchronization, 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. Rechargeable Microphones Each MXW microphone is powered from a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, which can be charged at any time without removal from the microphone. Lithium-Ion chemistry and intelligent Shure circuitry results in a rechargeable battery with no memory effect. Battery statistics are viewable from the control software (battery runtime, time to full charge, charge cycle count and battery capacity). Discreet, Professional Design Modern, low-profile wireless microphone designs elegantly integrate into diverse AV environments. By eliminating wires, MXW noticeably reduces clutter and provides professional elegance. 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) publication FIPS-197. Automatic Frequency Coordination The MXW Series uses automatic frequency coordination to quickly set up all of the microphones and achieve reliable, uninterrupted wireless communication. Microphones are assigned to channels on an access point transceiver simply by arranging them in an associated 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 automatically 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 Monitoring 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 Scanner 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 interference. The data provides an accurate estimate for the number of MXW channels that can be safely operated in the scanned area. 5
