Shure MXA920W-S Microflex Advance Ceiling Array Microphone - White

Product Overview

The Shure MXA920 is a premium ceiling array microphone for AV conferencing, camera tracking, voice lift, and sound reinforcement in medium to large rooms. Automatic Coverage technology requires no lobe aiming yet still allows precise control of audio capture when an integrator wants it, which speeds deployment across a building's worth of rooms. Next-generation array architecture delivers enhanced directional pickup and natural speech, while onboard IntelliMix DSP keeps the mix clean for commercial AV system integration. This is the square, white configuration.

Product Description

The MXA920 captures talkers in up to eight adjustable coverage areas that you define without aiming pickup lobes, and Virtual Acoustic Boundary keeps voices and noise from outside those areas out of the mix. For voice lift and sound reinforcement, Automatic Coverage can be switched off in favor of Steerable Coverage, which precisely aims eight pickup lobes with individual audio outputs to feed separate loudspeaker zones. Onboard IntelliMix DSP applies automatic mixing, acoustic echo cancellation, noise reduction, and automatic gain control for a consistent audio mix. Audio, PoE power, and control travel over a single Dante/AES67 connection, simplifying cabling in larger installations. The Optimize Tracking feature streamlines setup and improves talker location accuracy when multiple MXA920 units cover a large space, and Designer software configures the array alongside other Microflex Ecosystem devices. The microphone is certified for Microsoft Teams, supports standards-based security including 802.1x, secure boot and storage, and AES encryption, and exposes command strings for integration with third-party camera and room control systems. The square housing carries a paintable white finish to suit architectural requirements. Compatible mounts, DSP, and networked loudspeakers are available at creationnetworks.net.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much setup does the MXA920 need?
Automatic Coverage works without aiming pickup lobes, so basic deployment is quick, while integrators can still define up to eight coverage areas or switch to Steerable Coverage for precise control.

Can it be used for voice lift and sound reinforcement?
Yes. Steerable Coverage aims eight lobes with individual outputs to feed separate loudspeaker zones, with strong isolation between lobes and loudspeakers.

How does it install and cable?
Audio, PoE power, and control connect over a single Dante/AES67 cable. It supports common ceiling, pole, and suspension mounts and is configured with Shure Designer software.

Does it integrate with cameras and room control?
Command strings enable integration with third-party camera and room control systems, and it is certified for Microsoft Teams.

What about warranty and support?
The microphone carries the manufacturer warranty. Contact the Creation Networks team for configuration, integration, and warranty assistance.
