Microphone Type: Ceiling-mounted array with beamforming technology

Polar Patterns: Cardioid, Supercardioid, Omnidirectional (configurable)

The Shure MXA902 is a part of the Shure Microflex Advance series, which offers high-performance, networked microphone solutions for professional AV installations. The MXA902 is a networked ceiling microphone array that combines Shure’s advanced beamforming technology with Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Dante audio networking. This versatile microphone is designed to provide exceptional audio capture for a wide range of professional environments, including conference rooms, collaboration spaces, and large meeting venues.

The MXA902 features Shure’s proprietary digital beamforming technology, which allows the microphone to automatically focus on specific sound sources in the room, ensuring clear audio capture even in acoustically challenging environments. It offers enhanced flexibility, scalability, and ease of integration into larger AV systems, making it a perfect solution for modern, high-end meeting spaces, lecture halls, and other collaborative environments.

Highly Customizable Audio Capture

The MXA902 features multiple configurable polar patterns, which allow users to customize the microphone’s coverage to suit the room’s acoustics and specific needs.

• • Cardioid: Captures audio from a specific area while rejecting sound from the sides and back.
  • Omnidirectional: Captures audio from all directions, ideal for capturing group discussions or large meetings.
  • Supercardioid: A more focused pattern that captures sound from a narrow area, helping isolate speech from a specific location.
  • These flexible polar patterns provide users with the ability to adjust the microphone’s coverage depending on the layout of the room or the number of participants.

Automatic Room Adaptation

The MXA902 features automatic room adaptation capabilities, which means the microphone array adjusts to the acoustic environment in real time, optimizing its performance for different room layouts and configurations.

Shure’s IntelliMix DSP (Digital Signal Processing) automatically adjusts the microphone’s settings based on the acoustics of the room, ensuring the best possible sound capture regardless of environmental factors like room size, shape, or ambient noise.

Integrated DSP for Audio Processing

The MXA902 features built-in digital signal processing (DSP), including automatic gain control (AGC), noise reduction, and echo cancellation, to optimize the quality of the captured audio.

Noise cancellation minimizes ambient room noise, such as HVAC sounds, while echo cancellation ensures that audio feedback during video conferences or large meetings is kept to a minimum.

Automatic gain control (AGC) ensures consistent audio levels, even if speakers move closer or farther from the microphone.

Web Interface for Control and Monitoring

The MXA902 is easily configurable and controllable through a web-based interface, which allows users to monitor performance, adjust settings, and configure the microphone remotely.

Additionally, it is compatible with Shure’s Wireless Workbench™ and SystemOn™ software, which enables remote management of the microphone and other devices in the system. These platforms provide a comprehensive way to monitor the health and performance of your networked AV equipment.

Multiple Mounting Options

While designed for ceiling mount, the MXA902 can be adapted to various room layouts, offering a flexible solution for conference rooms, boardrooms, lecture halls, and other professional spaces.

Mounting hardware for flush installation in the ceiling is included, simplifying the installation process.

Use Cases

The Shure MXA902 is designed for high-performance audio capture in professional AV environments. Typical applications include:

• Corporate Conference Rooms: Ideal for video conferencing, presentations, and group discussions in modern corporate settings.
• Boardrooms: Perfect for executive meetings where clear, intelligible audio is critical.
• Lecture Halls & Educational Environments: Provides exceptional audio clarity for large rooms or auditoriums.
• Collaboration Spaces: Optimized for team meetings, small group discussions, and collaborative environments where multiple people may be speaking at once.
