More about Shure's Microflex Series
Communicate with confidence with the Microflex® complete digital conference system from Shure. Scalable at 2, 4, or 8 channel groupings (a maximum of 40, dependent on the region), this versatile system’s components include transceivers, an access point transceiver, networked charging stations, and an audio network interface—all with automatic frequency management and using shielded Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables for ease of installation and customization. This system is integrated with AES-256 encryption to keep your meetings secure.
From handheld, gooseneck, boundary, to bodypack (compatible for head-worn or lavalier), the wide variety of transmitters in the Microflex Wireless series allow you to choose what best fits your collaborative style. Each option boasts Commshield technology for RF noise immunity—so you can hear the person speaking into their mic with crystal clarity without distractions.

The MXW Access Point Transceiver is available in 2, 4, or 8 channel models, is connected to a single ethernet cable (system requires Power over Ethernet) and includes a mounting bracket and paintable cover for personalized installation. The MXW Networked Charging Station links transmitters to the wireless system; there must be one charging station for each transmitter (except for gooseneck transmitters, which require 2 stations each).
