Microflex Complete Wireless

General Description

The Microflex Complete Wireless system offers full conference functionality with the added convenience of encrypted digital

wireless transmission for up to 125 conference units. It overcomes cable limitations at off-site meetings, in rooms with flexible

seating, or in historic buildings where drilling holes in furniture is impractical. Proven Shure RF interference detection and

avoidance technology delivers reliable transmission that protects against signal dropouts, and robust audio encryption keeps

meeting content private. Each wireless conference unit is powered by a smart lithiumion rechargeable battery whose remain

ing charge (in hours and minutes) can be checked remotely by a technician.

Features

RF Efficiency Sound quality is consistent with one speaker or several, and up to 125 units are supported

with just one access point transceiver and one RF channel.

Automatic Frequency Co

ordination

The system automatically scans the available spectrum and selects clean transmission

channels for best performance. Setting up the system is as easy as setting up a wireless

router.

Interference Avoidance While in use, the system automatically moves away from unexpected interference. Channel

adjustment protects against disruption to the audio.

Encryption Standard AES-128 encryption of audio and data keeps meeting content private.

Bi-Directional Wireless Provides return channels for interpretation audio to conference units and enables real-time

remote control of conference unit settings.

System Overview

The Shure Microflex Complete Wireless (MXCW) system provides a steady, reliable audio experience for off-site meetings,

flexible meeting rooms, or historic buildings. The system features automatic RF interference detection and avoidance,

rechargeable batteries for wireless conference units, encrypted digital wireless transmission, and digital audio networking using

Dante .

The MXCW access point has multiple mounting options for discreet communication between wireless conference units and the

digital audio network. The access point works within the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands to support up to 125 conference

units. Conference units have configurable roles for meeting participants, and can be routed to the floor audio or an interpreta

tion channel. The MXCW networked charging station charges and stores up to 10 Shure rechargeable batteries that can be

monitored through its own web application. Use the access point web application for system setup, and to monitor and control

conference units.

Getting Started

Set Up the System Access Point (MXCWAPT)

Connect the access point to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) source to turn on the device.

If prompted, select the operating region on the menu for RF coordination (some model variations).

Wait while the access point scans the area for the best available channel.

Once the channel is selected, the default wireless network (00) is ready for the MXCW microphones.

Access Point Transceiver (MXCWAPT)

The access point transceiver is the hub of the audio signal flow and manages the RF stability of each microphone in the group.

The access point performs the following functions:

Receives and decrypts wireless audio signals from microphones in the group

Delivers audio signal to the digital audio network

Hosts an embedded web server that provides access to the control software used to manage the system

Sends and receives control information (such as gain adjustment and link settings) between the components, control soft

ware and 3rd party controllers

Transmits an encrypted audio signal to the microphone's headphone output for listening to translated audio or other exter

nal sources.
