Shure MXA310B Table Array Microphone (Black)

Product Overview

The Shure MXA310 table array microphone is a premium networked tabletop conference microphone for boardrooms, conference rooms, and multi-purpose spaces. This black Microflex Advance model uses Steerable Coverage with four selectable polar patterns plus a toroid pattern that rejects overhead HVAC and fan noise, capturing participant speech clearly across the table. Four discrete audio channels and an automix channel travel over a single network cable, and the microphone integrates with Dante networked audio and third-party control from Crestron and AMX. Powered by PoE, it is a clean, single-cable tabletop array microphone for commercial AV integration.

Product Description

The Shure MXA310B is a Microflex Advance table array built for AV conferencing environments where tabletop placement and discreet aesthetics matter. Its Steerable Coverage offers four separate, independently positionable polar patterns, allowing integrators to aim pickup at specific seats and reject noise from empty areas of the room. The toroid polar pattern delivers 360-degree coverage while rejecting sound from directly above the microphone, reducing pickup of ceiling HVAC and fan noise common in conference rooms. Four discrete audio channels plus an additional automix channel are delivered over a single network cable, simplifying cabling and routing. The microphone integrates with Dante networked audio and works with third-party preset controllers including Crestron and AMX for unified room control. A configurable multi-colored LED light ring shows mute status and, during setup, lights segments to confirm coverage areas and automix settings, while programmable capacitive-touch mute switches keep operation simple for end users. The unit requires PoE and is compatible with both Class 0 and Class 2 PoE sources, making it a practical tabletop conference microphone for boardroom and huddle room deployments.
