MXA910, MXA910-60CM, MXA910W-A, MXA910W-US

Ceiling Array Microphone

NOTICE

Due to a preliminary finding by a federal court in the United States, Shure is authorized to ship the MXA910-60CM. This model

is fully certified and lawful to use anywhere in the world but is not lawful to be used in the United States in a drop ceiling mount

ing configuration such as shown below. It is also unlawful to use adapters in an attempt to fit this smaller version to a ceiling

grid within the United States such that it mounts substantially as shown below.

Furthermore, the MXA91060CM is not designed or intended to be installed within a 24” ceiling grid, which is the standard size

grid in North America. Mounting in such a grid in the aboveshown configuration is unsafe and may cause damage to the prod

uct and/or injury to those below. The MXA910-60CM is safe and lawful for use in other mounting configurations, such as with

hard ceilings, or suspended from a VESA pole or suspension wiring, anywhere in the world.

The MXA910WUS is now available for 24” ceiling grid installations in the United States. The MXA910WUS provides a quick,

simple solution for installation in 24x24 inch ceiling grids in the U.S. and includes the same technology and performance as all

prior versions. Though the MXA910W-US is designed for ceiling grid installation, it is not intended to be flush-mounted as

shown above. For proper installation, see the Ceiling Installation (MXA910W-US) section below.

For more information or to place an order for the MXA910W-US, visit www.shure.com/mxa910.

Getting Started

To control the MXA910, use Shure Designer software. After completing this basic setup process, you should be able to:

Access and control the MXA910

Apply DSP to the microphone's signal

Route audio from the microphone to other devices

Before you get started, you'll need:

Cat5e (or better) Ethernet cable

Network switch that provides Power over Ethernet (PoE)

◦

Shure Designer software installed on a computer. Download at www.shure.com.

Note: If Designer isn’t available, you can use a web application to control the MXA910 and Dante Controller to route audio. Download the Shure Web

Device Discovery application to access your device’s web application.

Step 1: Connect to a Network and Discover in Designer

Connect the microphone to a PoE port on the network switch using Cat5e (or better) cable.

Connect your computer running Designer to the network switch.

Open Designer, and check that you’re connected to the correct network in Settings.

Click Online devices. A list of online devices appears.

To identify devices, click the product icon to flash the lights on a device.

Step 2: Route Audio and Apply DSP

The easiest way to route audio and apply DSP is with Designer's Optimize workflow. Optimize automatically routes audio sig

nals, applies DSP settings, turns on mute synchronization, and enables LED logic control for connected devices.

The MXA910 includes IntelliMix DSP that can be applied to the automix channel output.

For this example, we'll connect an MXA910 and an ANIUSB-MATRIX.

Go to My projects > New to create a new project.

Select New > Room (live) to create a new room. Any online devices appear in the list. Drag and drop the MXA910

and the ANIUSB-MATRIX to add them to your room.

Select Optimize.

Check the audio routes and settings to make sure they fit your needs. You might need to:

Delete unnecessary routes.

Verify that AEC reference signals are correctly routed.

Fine-tune DSP blocks as needed.

You can also route audio manually in Designer outside of the Optimize workflow, or use Dante Controller.

Step 3: Adjust Microphone Coverage

Select Coverage map to adjust the microphone's coverage.

Shure Incorporated

6/59

Use Auto position to let the software position each channel for you.

Listen to each of your microphone's channels and adjust the lobe position, width, and gain as needed. Click and drag to

adjust each channel's position. Learn more in the Configuring Microphone Coverage section.

After you have coverage set up, you can send audio from the ANIUSB-MATRIX to other Dante devices or analog sources.

Overview

General Description

The Microflex Advance Ceiling Array is a premium networked array microphone for AV conferencing environments, including

boardrooms, huddle rooms, and multi-purpose spaces. The ceiling array uses Shure's Steerable Coverage with Autofocus

technology: 8 highly directional pickup lobes capture participant audio from overhead, continually fine-tuning the position of

each lobe in real time as participants lean back in their chairs or stand up .

The microphone also includes the IntelliMix DSP suite, which includes AEC, noise reduction, automatic mixing, and more. Con

trol the microphone with Shure Designer software, or a browser-based web application. The microphone integrates seamlessly

with Dante digital networked audio, AES67, and third-party preset controllers, including Crestron and AMX, to deliver a high-

quality AV conferencing experience that appeals equally to integrators, consultants, and meeting participants.

Professional Design

Sleek industrial design blends with contemporary board rooms and meeting spaces

Versatile mounting options for ceilings, pole mounts, suspension cables, and more

Available in white, black, and aluminum finishes (detachable grille can be custom painted)

System Overview

①Dante audio, power, and control

Each array microphone connects to the network over a single network cable, which carries Dante audio, Power over Ether

net (PoE), and control information to adjust coverage, audio levels, and processing.

②Analog audio (microphone to network)

Analog equipment, such as a wireless microphone system or a gooseneck microphone on a podium, connects to the Dante

audio network through a Shure Network Interface (model ANI4IN) for a completely networked conferencing system.

③Far-end audio (network to loudspeakers)

Danteenabled loudspeakers and amplifiers connect directly to a network switch. Analog loudspeakers and amplifiers con

nect through a Shure Network Interface (model ANI4OUT), which converts Dante audio channels into analog signals, deliv

ered through 4 discrete XLR or block connector outputs.

④Device control and Dante audio

Control: A computer connected to the network controls the microphone with Shure Designer software. You can remotely

adjust coverage, muting, LED behavior, lobe settings, gain, and network settings.

Audio: Route audio with Dante Controller or Shure Designer software. Dante Virtual Soundcard enables audio monitoring

and recording directly on the computer.
