Shure A710W-4FT-HOUSING MXA710W-4FT CASE ASSEMBLY - NO ELECTRONICS

Product Overview

The Shure A710W-4FT-HOUSING is an empty 4-foot mechanical housing in a white 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 larger 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 A710W-4FT-HOUSING provides that matching dummy linear array enclosure in the larger 4-foot length and a white finish that blends into light-colored ceilings: it looks identical to a real 4-foot 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 white 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 4-foot housing is dimensionally and cosmetically identical to a real 4-foot 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.
• White Finish — The 4-foot white housing blends into light-colored ceilings and coordinates with matching MXA710 hardware.
• 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

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 4-foot 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 across a larger room, 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.
