Shure MXA925W-S – AI Ceiling Array Microphone (Square, White)

Product Overview

The Shure MXA925W-S is a square, white ceiling array microphone engineered for AV conferencing, camera tracking, and voice lift in mid-to-large meeting spaces. As an AI conferencing ceiling microphone and the successor to the MXA920, it captures clear, natural speech across a 30 ft x 30 ft seating area without manually aiming pickup lobes. Onboard IntelliMix DSP and dual RJ45 networking make it a practical standard for integrators specifying a Microsoft Teams certified ceiling array. The paintable square housing drops into a standard 2 ft x 2 ft ceiling tile for a clean overhead install.

Product Description

The MXA925W-S extends Shure's Microflex Advance platform with next-generation onboard processing built for AI-enabled features and future firmware. Automatic Coverage technology focuses pickup on talkers in the seating area while rejecting noise from other parts of the room, and integrators can drag and drop up to eight configurable coverage areas through the built-in web interface. For fixed-zone designs, Steerable Coverage places up to eight independent pickup lobes with discrete audio outputs plus an automix. The result is a Dante ceiling microphone for conference rooms that simplifies commissioning while holding intelligibility in acoustically difficult spaces.

AI-enabled IntelliMix DSP adds AI Acoustic Echo Cancellation, AI Denoiser, and AI Deverb so remote participants and transcription engines receive clean speech. The AI AEC requires no convergence time and produces fewer artifacts as talkers move, which matters in rooms where loudspeakers sit close to the microphone. Precise coverage control delivers strong isolation between pickup areas and loudspeakers, supporting higher gain before feedback in voice lift and sound reinforcement applications. Dual RJ45 ports let designers separate Dante/AES67 audio from control traffic for high-security installations, and the unit is compatible with existing MXA920 mounting accessories. Enterprise features including 802.1X authentication, Shure Audio Encryption, and ShureCloud remote monitoring and firmware management make this an enterprise ceiling array microphone suited to scalable, IT-governed rollouts.

Key Features

• Automatic Coverage — Out-of-the-box pickup for a 30 ft x 30 ft seating area with no lobe aiming required, reducing commissioning time.
• Up to Eight Coverage Areas — Drag-and-drop zones in the web interface let you capture simultaneous talkers in defined locations while excluding the rest of the room.
• AI-Enabled IntelliMix DSP — AI AEC, AI Denoiser, and AI Deverb suppress echo, noise, and reverberation for clear speech to remote participants and transcription.
• Steerable Coverage Mode — Places up to eight independent pickup lobes with discrete outputs plus an automix for fixed-zone designs.
• Accurate Talker Localization — Reports the exact position of each talker to drive precise third-party camera tracking.
• Dual RJ45 Networking — Separates Dante/AES67 audio from control traffic for flexible, high-security network topologies.
• Enterprise Security — 802.1X authentication and Shure Audio Encryption protect audio between Microflex Ecosystem devices.
• ShureCloud Management — Remote monitoring, firmware updates, and license deployment for managing rooms at scale.
• Teams and Zoom Certified — Certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom Rooms for predictable platform integration.
• Paintable Ceiling-Tile Design — Square white housing fits a standard 2 ft x 2 ft tile and is compatible with MXA920 mounting accessories.

Typical Applications

• Boardrooms — Full-room voice capture for executive conferencing and recording.
• Large conference rooms — Automatic Coverage scales to 30 ft x 30 ft seating without tabletop microphones.
• Multi-purpose rooms — Reconfigurable coverage areas adapt to changing furniture and seating layouts.
• Training rooms — Clear pickup of instructors and participants for hybrid sessions and capture.
• All-hands rooms — Wide, even coverage for large groups and Q&A.
• Government and secure spaces — 802.1X and audio encryption support compliance-driven deployments.
• Auditoriums — Coverage isolation supports voice lift and sound reinforcement with high gain before feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conferencing platforms is the MXA925W-S certified for?
It is certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom Rooms and integrates with common collaboration platforms through Dante/AES67 audio and an IntelliMix signal chain.

How is the microphone installed in a ceiling?
The square housing mounts into a standard 2 ft x 2 ft ceiling tile and is compatible with existing MXA920 mounting accessories, including hard-ceiling and suspension kits for non-tile ceilings.

What does it need to integrate into an AV system?
It connects over a Dante/AES67 network with PoE, and dual RJ45 ports allow audio and control to be separated. It pairs with Shure IntelliMix processors and interfaces such as the IntelliMix Foundation System for a complete room.

Does it support camera tracking and room control?
Yes. Talker localization reports talker position for third-party camera tracking, and command strings support integration with third-party camera and room control systems.

Can it be used for voice lift or sound reinforcement?
Yes. Precise coverage control provides isolation between pickup areas and loudspeakers, supporting higher gain before feedback in voice lift and sound reinforcement designs.

What security features are included for enterprise deployment?
It supports 802.1X network authentication and Shure Audio Encryption, with centralized monitoring, firmware updates, and license management through ShureCloud.

What warranty and support are available?
The MXA925 carries Shure's manufacturer warranty with an optional extended warranty program. For deployment support, contact Creation Networks for project design assistance and authorized-dealer service.
