Shure MXCWAPT-A Access Point Receiver (US Only)

Product Overview

The Shure MXCWAPT-A is the access point transceiver at the center of the Microflex Complete Wireless conference system, designed for boardrooms, council chambers, and multi-purpose rooms that need cable-free discussion audio. As the system hub, this wireless conference system access point manages audio routing, RF coordination, and control for up to 125 MXCW640 wireless conference units from a single Ethernet connection. It automatically selects the clearest channel across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, making the MXCWAPT-A conference system hub a practical core for rooms where running fixed microphone cabling is impractical.

Product Description

The MXCWAPT-A access point transceiver is the device every Microflex Complete Wireless deployment is built around. During setup it scans the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands to identify the clearest channel and communicates that selection to all conference units; where permitted, it can use limited-access DFS spectrum to expand the pool of available channels. If a potential RF conflict is detected, the access point instructs all units to change channels without interrupting the meeting, and the wireless link is protected with AES-128 encryption for closed-door discussions in government and corporate spaces.

For integration into a larger AV system, the unit provides a Dante networked audio connection supporting up to 10 input and 10 output channels, plus an analog XLR audio input and output for connecting a presenter's wireless microphone or feeding an external sound reinforcement system. A single PoE connection from a standard switch or power injector carries power, audio, and control, which simplifies installation and commercial deployment. An onboard information display and basic controls allow first-line configuration without a laptop.

Key Features

• Manages up to 125 conference units — A single MXCWAPT-A coordinates audio, RF, and control for as many as 125 MXCW640 units, scaling from a small boardroom to a large council chamber.
• Automatic dual-band frequency coordination — The access point continuously evaluates the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and moves units to the clearest channel to avoid interference during live meetings.
• DFS spectrum support — Where regionally permitted, the unit uses limited-access DFS channels to expand the number of usable frequencies in congested RF environments.
• AES-128 encrypted wireless — Discussion audio is encrypted over the air, supporting confidentiality requirements in government and corporate boardrooms.
• Dante networked audio — Up to 10 input and 10 output Dante channels integrate the conference system directly into a networked AV signal chain.
• Analog XLR I/O — A balanced XLR input and output connect a presenter microphone or an external sound reinforcement feed without additional interfaces.
• Single-cable PoE operation — Power, audio, and control travel over one Ethernet connection from a standard PoE switch or injector, reducing installation labor.
• Onboard display and controls — Basic system configuration and status checks are available at the unit, so commissioning does not require a connected laptop.
• Flexible mounting — The included bracket and paintable cover allow discreet wall or ceiling installation, or the unit can sit on a table for temporary meeting setups.
