Shure introduces MXA902 integrated conferencing ceiling array

Shure announced the launch of the Microflex Advance MXA902 integrated conferencing ceiling array—a ceiling array microphone with integrated loudspeaker and IntelliMix DSP for small and medium-size meeting rooms.

The MXA902 offers an array microphone for enhanced directional voice capture and an integrated wide-dispersion loudspeaker said to deliver natural sounding far-end speech. Onboard IntelliMix DSP applies automatic mixing, echo cancellation, noise reduction as well as automatic gain control.

“Most conference rooms and meeting spaces no longer address the needs of modern-day professionals,” said Evan Groom, Conferencing Product Manager, at Shure. “Employees are more discerning than ever—opting to meet in spaces that best support hybrid collaboration with in-office technology that is both flexible and effective. We’ve recognized the depth of our customers’ needs with the MXA902 as a solution that delivers the best audio capture and reproduction technology for all users in the room. With the microphone, loudspeaker, and DSP all in one device, the MXA902 helps improve the overall room design, creating a sleek and elegant meeting room without extension mics and extra wires – a win for end users and a win for IT and installation professionals.”

The MXA902 is certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom Rooms when paired with the USB Audio Network Interface with Matrix Mixing (ANIUSB-MATRIX). The MXA902 is designed with Single Zone Automatic Coverage™ Technology, which covers a 20’ x 20’ space with minimal configuration needed, enabling users to easily and automatically capture the talkers they wish to hear while avoiding noise in other areas of the room, according to Shure.

The unit is compatible with MXA900 series accessory kits, delivering a mounting system that works with a variety of ceiling types, including in-ceiling, on-ceiling, pole, or wire rope.

The MXA902 will be displayed for demonstrations at InfoComm 2023 (June 14 – 16), where Shure will be present at Booth #3842 in the Exhibit Hall (Level 2). The MXA902 will be available later in 2023.
