Component Overview
Microphone Transmitters
MXW microphones transmit an encrypted,
wireless audio signal to the access point. Four
form factors are available:
Hybrid Bodypack (MXW1)
The bodypack secures to a belt or strap for
hands-free, mobile communication. It features
a TQG input for lavalier connection and an
integrated omnidirectional microphone.
Handheld (MXW2)
The handheld enables presenters to
communicate using legendary Shure SM58,
SM86, BETA58 and VP68 microphone
cartridges.
Boundary (MXW6/C, MXW6/O)
The boundary transmitter sits on a table
or desk to transmit speech while discreetly
blending into any conference environment.
Desktop Gooseneck Base (MXW8)
The gooseneck base is compatible with 5, 10,
and 15” Microflex gooseneck microphones.
The MXW1, MXW6, and MXW8
microphones include a headphone output
for monitoring audio, such as a translation
channel.
Audio Network Interface
(MXWANI4, MXWANI8)
The Audio Network Interface (4 and 8 channel)
is a Dante network device that provides analog
audio input and outputs for the MXW system.
It has a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch that
enables the connection of an MXW access
point, a computer and up to two MXW networked
charging stations.
Access Point Transceiver
(MXWAPT4, MXWAPT8)
The Access Point Transceiver (4 and 8 channel
units) mounts to a wall or ceiling to manage
encrypted, wireless audio connections with
microphones. As a system hub, it transports
digital audio between the wireless microphones
and other Dante devices on the same network.
The APT includes a webserver that hosts
the MXW System control software, used for
monitoring, configuration, and remote control of
the system.
