Shure A710AL-2FT-HOUSING MXA710AL-2FT CASE ASSEMBLY - NO ELECTRONICS

Product Overview

The Shure A710AL-2FT-HOUSING is an empty 2-foot mechanical housing in an aluminium finish that visually matches the MXA710 Linear Array Microphone. It is specified by AV system designers and architects who need a microphone enclosure for visual symmetry in conference rooms and boardrooms without adding a second active microphone. The housing contains no electronics and mounts using the same methods as a functional MXA710.

Product Description

In many conference room and boardroom installations, an architect or designer wants a balanced, symmetrical ceiling or wall appearance even when only one active microphone is required for audio coverage. The A710AL-2FT-HOUSING provides that matching dummy linear array enclosure: it looks identical to a real MXA710 from the room but contains no electrical parts, status LED, or RJ-45 connector. This lets AV integrators preserve a clean, intentional aesthetic in high-visibility commercial meeting spaces while controlling cost, since a non-functional housing is far less expensive than a second microphone. The aluminium finish coordinates with corresponding MXA710 hardware, and the housing accepts the full range of MXA710 mounting accessories, including flush-mount kits, tile bridges, and pole mounts. It is a design-driven accessory for integrators delivering architecturally sensitive installations.

Key Features

• Visual Match to MXA710 — The housing is dimensionally and cosmetically identical to a real MXA710 Linear Array, preserving visual symmetry in the room.
• No Electronics — Contains no electrical parts, status LED, or RJ-45 connector, making it purely an aesthetic enclosure.
• Same Mounting Methods — Installs using any of the same mounting methods and accessories as a functional MXA710 microphone.
• Aluminium Finish — The 2-foot aluminium housing coordinates visually with matching MXA710 hardware in the space.
• Cost-Effective Symmetry — Provides a balanced ceiling or wall appearance at a lower cost than installing an additional active microphone.

Typical Applications

• Conference room
• Boardroom
• Multi-purpose room
• Training room
• All-hands room

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this housing capture or process audio? No. It is an empty mechanical enclosure with no electronics, microphone elements, status LED, or network connector. It is intended purely for visual symmetry.

Can it be mounted the same way as a real MXA710? Yes. The housing supports the same mounting methods and accessories as a functional MXA710, including flush-mount kits, tile bridges, and pole or VESA mounts.

Why would an integrator install a non-functional housing? When room coverage needs only one active linear array but the design calls for a balanced, symmetrical appearance, a matching dummy housing delivers the intended aesthetic at lower cost than a second microphone.

Does it require network cabling or power? No. Because it contains no electronics or RJ-45 connector, it needs no PoE, network drop, or power during installation.
