• Dante Ethernet networks

• Ethernet connectivity: All Microﬂex Wireless networking components connect via Cat5e cable for simpliﬁed installation

• Corporate network ready: Connect to corporate networks and third party control systems using standard networking protocols, for remote management and campus-wide implementation

• Microﬂex Wireless Control Software: Browser-based control software that offers comprehensive remote monitoring and control of all settings and status parameters over the web, a corporate network or an AV local area network

• Control system compatible: Third party control and automation systems (AMX®, Crestron®) are fully compatible with Microﬂex Wireless, enabling the creation of custom interfaces on touchscreen panels

• Advanced rechargeable power management: Smart lithium-ion rechargeable batteries deliver up to 9 hours of continuous use, enable remote status monitoring while in the charger and provide remaining runtime in hours and minutes while in use via networked control systems

• Automated frequency coordination: Microﬂex Wireless systems actively scan the available spectrum and coordinate clean, compatible frequencies for every microphone channel. While in use, systems automatically move away from unexpected interference

• Encrypted wireless: Audio transmission is protected by AES-256 encryption - the same secure standard used in top government applications

• Selectable transmit power: Select the appropriate wireless output power per room to optimize spectrum usage, range, and battery life

Overview

The MXW1 is a hybrid bodypack transmitter compatible with Microﬂex® Wireless systems. It offers both an integrated omnidirectional microphone and an input jack for connecting an ear-worn or lavalier style microphone. The integrated microphone is perfect for picking up speech while the bodypack is on a lanyard or tucked into a shirt pocket, and a belt clip is included for attachment to clothing.

Features

• Compact, low-proﬁle design: Fits comfortably into a shirt pocket or attached to clothing

• Integrated omnidirectional mic: Clearly captures full range audio without connecting an external microphone

• External microphone input: For connecting multiple styles of ear-worn or lavalier condenser microphones

• Bi-directional wireless: Enables return channel audio and real time remote control of all wireless microphone settings

• Earphone output: Listen to audio from a return channel for translation, cueing, or program material

• Programmable mute button: Customize local or remote muting behavior per application, with options including push-totalk, push-to-mute, and external control.

• Standby mode: Enabled remotely during breaks or periods of inactivity to signiﬁcantly extend battery life when not in use

• Wide working range: Reliable wireless coverage extends up to 160 feet (50 meters)

• Out of range alert: Emits beeping sound when range limit is exceeded

• Wide frequency response: Captures full range audio for clear voice transmission

• Easy transmitter linking: Assign the microphone to an Access Point channel by simply docking it into a Networked Charging Station and pressing “link”

• Encrypted wireless: AES 256-bit encryption for secure transmission.

• Advanced Li-ion batteries: Smart lithium-ion internal batteries provide up to 9 hours of continuous use, charge to full in 2 hours, and enable remote monitoring over the network of remaining runtime and charge status in hours and minutes

• USB charging: Connects to any standard USB power source for “always on” usage
