Shure has expanded its Microflex Ecosystem portfolio with new loudspeakers and a networked amplifier designed specifically for conference rooms.
The expanded MX Loudspeaker range includes four passive loudspeakers – ceiling and wall-mounted – and a networked conferencing amplifier, that join Shure’s existing MXN5W-C networked loudspeaker. Together with other Microflex Ecosystem devices, Shure now offers a complete solution that includes microphones, digital signal processing (DSP) and loudspeakers.
‘A/V professionals and IT managers need solutions that make their workflows much easier: from choosing the right technology to simplified system support,’ says Shure Senior Manager of Product Management, Nalle Magnusson. ‘Our new line-up of four passive speakers and networked amplifier offers options that cater for their specific needs and overall system compatibility. They can experience the award-winning audio quality of the Microflex Ecosystem, and benefit from comprehensive support from a single manufacturer’.
As part of the Microflex Ecosystem, Microflex Loudspeakers are supported by standards-based security protocols to manage access and protect data including 802.1x, and AES encryption for control when connected to the MXN-AMP. This allows IT managers to use similar security protocols that they use for other networked endpoints, creating a streamlined workflow across A/V systems.
The PoE+ Networked Amplifier is designed for speech and audio reproduction in meeting rooms. It features Dante inputs and outputs, an analogue stereo input, customisable EQ, and EQ presets for the passive MX loudspeakers. The amplifier can be mounted on a rack, wall or ceiling, depending on room design requirements. The MXN amplifier is compatible with leading videoconferencing and communication platforms.
The Mini Pendant Passive (MXP-1) Loudspeaker has a compact and low-profile design for open architecture or wood slat ceilings. The Balanced Mode Radiator (BMR) driver enhances speech intelligibility and offers wide dispersion for complete room coverage and consistent sound quality. Available in black or white finish and it can also be painted to match room decor.
The Wall Mount Passive (MXP-3) a slim, compact design that can be wall or ceiling mounted for meeting rooms by employing enhanced spatial (stereo) audio. The Balanced Mode Radiator driver delivers full-fidelity and premium audio reproduction. Available in black or white finish and it can also be painted to match room decor.
The Ceiling Mount Passive (MXP-5) is also an unobtrusive design that streamlines shallow depth installation for the needs of retrofit configurations. The dual-driver architecture delivers full-fidelity, premium audio reproduction and optimum speech intelligibility. When paired with the MXN-AMP, up to eight MXP-5 loudspeakers can be used in 70V mode. Available in black or white finish and can be painted to match room décor.
The Pendant Passive (MXP-6) Loudspeaker sports a sleek industrial design suited to open ceiling spaces. It features a dual-driver architecture for consistent tonality in blended installations, and multiple pendants can be installed to meet the audio coverage needs of almost any room size. When paired with the MXN-AMP, it can drive up to eight MXP-6s in 70V mode. Available in black or white finish and it can also be painted to match room decor.
Installers can integrate MX Loudspeakers with Designer 6, Shure’s configuration software, to design, deploy and commission installations. For remote management and control of the devices, A/V professionals can connect with ShureCloud, Shure’s cloud-enabled centralised management platform.
