General Description and Features
The Microflex Wireless Series (MXW) is a complete solution for meeting room and presentation applications. Developed with Audinate's Dante technology, the
system routes digital audio over standard IP equipment across a network of access points, digital-to-analog converters and computers. Access points mount
to a ceiling or wall to communicate wirelessly with the microphones, distributing audio to the Dante network. RF coordination is automatic and continuous,
offering worry-free wireless audio transmission for up to 32 channels.
Dante Digital Audio Networking
Digital audio is carried over standard Ethernet using shielded Cat5e (or higher) cables. Dante provides low latency, tight clock synchronization, and high
Quality-of-Service (QoS) to provide reliable audio transport to a variety of Dante devices. Dante audio can coexist safely on the same network as IT and
control data, or can be configured to use a dedicated network.
Encryption
The MXW transmits secure, encrypted audio using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), which conforms to the US Government National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) publication FIPS-197.
Automatic Frequency Coordination
The MXW Series uses automatic frequency coordination to achieve worry-free, solid wireless communication. Frequencies are shared and time-divided
between multiple transmitters. A highly accurate time-sync allows multiple APTs to work together for up to 32 channels of wireless transmitters.
Microphones are assigned to channels by arranging them in the charger and pressing the link button. The APT assigns the microphones to a channel
according to the charger slot number.
Remote Control and Monitoring
The system can connect to a computer or 3rd party control system (AMX, Crestron, Extron, etc) for remote control and monitoring. The web browser-based
graphical user interface (GUI) enables RF spectrum management, audio routing, and microphone behavior.
Rechargeable Microphones
The MXW series microphones feature an internal rechargeable battery. Microphones charge directly in the charger without the battery removal. During a
charging cycle, the GUI displays battery information (battery runtime, charge cycle count and battery capacity). Up to xx hours of continuous use.
Built-In RF Spectrum Scanner
The MXW APT has the ability to scan the entire RF spectrum for a duration of time. The scan provides an accurate xx insight xx to a location's spectrum
availability during typical event hours.

Theory of Operation
Groups and Audio Channels
The MXW system uses Groups to organize the audio and control data transport between components.
Each Group is comprised of a single access point, charger(s) and audio output device(s). Groups have
four or eight channels, depending on the access point model.
Once the group is formed, microphones can be linked to the channels from the charging station. Each
slot on the charging station corresponds to channels in the group.
Automatic Group
Dante's self-discovery feature enables a Group to automatically form when the network is comprised of
a single APT, ANI and charger. These components must be the same channel count for the automatic
association to occur (forming a group of 4 or 8 channels). Setup through the GUI is not necessary for
this configuration
Network
The network is core communication pathway of the MXW system. It transports Dante digital audio with
Shure control data over standard IP/Ethernet equipment. When an MXW device joins the network, it
automatically configures to compatible IP settings.
Gigabit Switch with DHCP
For systems with more than eight channels, a gigabit switch is required to create a network of additional
access points, chargers and audio output devices. Connecting all components on the same network will
ensure the most reliable RF management and digital clock synchronization.
In some cases, computer settings or programs may interfere with the network. The majority of these
connection issues can be solved by using a DHCP-enabled router. Most routers include a DHCP server,
while switches do not.
Wireless Audio
MXW microphones transmit digital audio in the DECT
In the US, wirelesss audio transmits in the unlicensed 1920-1930 MHz frequency band

The following is an overview of each component and its function in the MXW system:
Network
INPUT: SPL
OUTPUT: Headphone
① MXW Microphones
•Convert audio into a digital RF signal that
transmits wirelessly to the APT.
•Available in a variety of form factors to
accommodate any event.
•Boundary and gooseneck models feature a
headphone jack for monitoring audio from the
network.
② Access Point Transceiver (APT)
•Transports encrypted, wireless audio between
the microphones and the Dante network.
•Maintains stable audio transmission through
advanced interference detection and
automatic frequency coordination.
•Requires only a single Cat5e cable for power
(via PoE), system time-sync management,
and the communication of networked audio
and control data.
•Hosts the web browser-based GUI for remote
system management.

Note: The ANI can be substituted with the Shure
SCM820 Digital IntelliMix Mixer.
④ Networked Charging Station (NCS)
•Recharges microphone batteries by
connecting to the USB port of the microphone.
•Links up to eight microphones at a time to
channels in a group.
•Transmits detailed battery information to the

⑤ Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The MXW System is managed from the
graphical user interface (GUI). The computer
must be networked to the APT to access the
GUI from a web browser. Use the software
interface for the following system functions:
•Assign components to groups to determine
the routing of digital audio and control data.
•Perform an RF spectrum scan to accurately
survey a site's spectrum activity over a
duration of time.
•Monitor microphone battery statistics during
the charge.
•Control microphone activity state, gain setting
and EQ filters.
•Customize the function of LED and mute/
active button of the microphone.
•Configure IP settings.
③ Audio Network Interface (ANI)
•Converts 24-bit/48k digital audio from the
network into analog direct outputs.
•Four-port gigabit switch enables the ANI to be

① Position the Access Point
The access point contains multiple directional antennas to provide
steady, reliable wireless communication. The cardioid radiation pattern
is strongest from the top of the face plate.
Use the following guidelines when mounting the access point:
•Direct the antenna toward the intended coverage area.
•Position access point so there is nothing obstructing a line of sight to
the microphones.
•Keep antennas away from large metal objects.
•Mount access points at least four feet apart.

Important: Always perform a "walk around" test to verify coverage before
using a wireless system during a speech or performance. Experiment
with antenna placement to find the optimum location. If necessary, mark
"trouble spots" and ask presenters or performers to avoid those areas.
② Mount the Unit
Secure the unit to a ceiling or wall using the supplied mounting screws.
Power the Hardware
① ANI
Connect the IEC power cable from the back panel to an AC power
source. Turn on the power switch.
② APT
The APT requires PoE to operate. Use a Cat5e cable to connect the
APT to the ANI port 1 or to a gigabit switch with PoE. There is no power
switch.
③ Charger
Connect the PS45 external power supply from the charger to an AC
power source. Turn on the power switch.
④ Gigabit Ethernet Router or Switch
