Shure MXA920: new generation of ceiling array microphones

Presented as the flagship product of Shure, The new MXA920 array microphone features Automatic Coverage technology and next-generation architecture for easier setup and better voice quality..

With the launch of the ceiling array microphone MXA920, Shure has ushered in a new era in array microphone technology. Thanks to Automatic Coverage technology, offers pre-configured audio capture that requires minimal effort to set up.

This audio solution, that markets Earpro, employs state-of-the-art array architecture for more directive pickup and more natural voice. Besides, Integrated IntelliMix DSP ensures noise- and echo-free meetings and delivers optimal audio clarity and intelligibility for audiovisual conferencing in all types of environments: meeting rooms, hybrid classrooms in higher education centers, and corporate and government meeting spaces.

Available in two formats (square and round), The MXA920 microphone integrates into the design of even the most modern facilities and meeting spaces.

“The effectiveness of audiovisual conferences depends on the quality of the audio of the participants”, states Doug Daube, Director of Shure Microphone Systems. “Our clients need solutions that collect voice naturally, that integrate into the aesthetics of the room and allow participants to connect effortlessly, regardless of where they are. The MXA920 meets all of these modern and ever-evolving needs., as it guarantees easy deployment and unmatched voice capture”.

For today's professionals, It is essential that network audio capture can cover the most complex acoustic spaces and is compatible with custom applications. The MXA920 offers audio professionals easier deployment and allows them to integrate advanced applications such as camera tracking, voice amplification and sound reinforcement.

It is certified to Microsoft Teams when used with IntelliMix P300 DSP and Microflex MXN5C network speaker, simplifying connectivity for end users. There are models in square format (only white) and round (blanco, black or aluminum) that can be painted to match the decoration of the room.

All models can be mounted recessed or attached to the ceiling, on a stand or suspended by cables thanks to new mounting accessories that make it easy to install the microphone in formal conference rooms or modern spaces with original architectural design.

The MXA920 can be seen for the first time in live demos at the show WHEREAS 2022 (stand 3N250) which tomorrow will open its doors in Barcelona until 13 of may.

Features:

Automatic Coverage Technology: Provides optimal audio capture that requires minimal setup effort. It is now ready to automatically cover an area of 9×9 metros, reducing setup time and effort. Coverage can also be customized based on different room layouts or seating arrangements, to take sound only from the specified meeting participants and avoid areas you want to exclude.

Next-generation array architecture: Delivers more directive pickup across the frequency spectrum to maintain accurate coverage of specific areas, in addition to improving voice quality for a more natural sound and less focus on other sounds in the room. New DSP algorithms ensure that participants' voices are heard more naturally and accurately.

Greater flexibility of use: Sends the precise location of each speaker to the camera control system, allowing for more precise camera tracking. Steerable Coverag technology with individual audio outputs offers increased gain before feedback when used for voice amplification and sound reinforcement.
