Shure MXW1X/O-Z10 Microflex Wireless neXt 2 Hybrid Bodypack Transmitter (Omnidirectional)

Product Overview

The Shure MXW1X/O-Z10 is a hybrid bodypack transmitter for the Microflex Wireless neXt 2 system, operating in the 1.9 GHz DECT band with AES-256 encryption. It serves dual roles: an integrated omnidirectional microphone enables hands-free operation on a lanyard or in a shirt pocket, while a TA4M input accepts an external lavalier or headworn microphone for enhanced speech capture. Up to 17 hours of battery life from the included SB906 pack supports all-day deployment in commercial conference, training, and presentation environments.

Product Description

The MXW1X/O-Z10 addresses the practical flexibility required in commercial AV deployments where a single transmitter must serve multiple presenter types and scenarios. Presenters without a dedicated lavalier clip can wear the bodypack on a lanyard and use the internal omnidirectional microphone; those with a wired lavalier or headset can connect via the TA4M jack for higher-gain, closer-mic capture. Wireless coverage extends up to 160 feet (50 meters) with adjustable transmit power, and the transmitter supports remote mute integration with room control systems for centralized session management in boardrooms, training rooms, and managed conference environments. The information screen displays battery time remaining and room assignment, simplifying operator oversight in multi-transmitter deployments. For a comparable handheld wireless option in the same system, see the Shure MXW2X/VP68-Z10.

Key Features

• Hybrid Bodypack Design — Serves as both a standalone wireless mic (via integrated omni) and a transmitter for an external lavalier or headworn microphone connected through the TA4M input, covering diverse presenter use cases in a single unit.
• Integrated Omnidirectional Microphone — Captures clear speech when the bodypack is worn on a lanyard or placed in a shirt pocket, eliminating the need for an external mic in informal or quick-setup scenarios.
• TA4M Microphone Input — Accepts most Shure lavalier and headworn microphones for close-mic capture when higher intelligibility or background noise rejection is required.
• AES-256 Encryption — Always-on encrypted audio link meets enterprise and government information security requirements without requiring configuration.
• Up to 17-Hour Battery Life — The SB906 smart lithium-ion battery pack supports full-day conference and training room schedules with rapid charging in the MXW docking station.
• 160-Foot Wireless Range — Adjustable transmit power provides reliable wireless coverage up to 50 meters, accommodating large training rooms, boardrooms, and multi-purpose spaces.
• Room Control Integration — Remote mute/unmute via room control system enables centralized management of presenter mic states through Crestron, AMX, Q-SYS, and compatible platforms.
• Programmable Mute Button — Push-to-talk, push-to-mute, or push-on/push-off modes with the option to link mute control across multiple transmitters simultaneously.
• Information Screen — Displays battery time remaining, room assignment, and status information to support operator oversight in multi-transmitter room setups.
• Earphone Jack — 3.5 mm output for monitoring translation, cueing, or program audio directly from the bodypack during managed or multilingual sessions.

Typical Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the MXW1X/O-Z10 be used without a lavalier microphone attached?
Yes. The integrated omnidirectional microphone allows the bodypack to function as a standalone wireless transmitter when worn on a lanyard or placed in a shirt pocket, without requiring an external lavalier or headworn microphone.

Which lavalier and headworn microphones are compatible with the TA4M input?
The TA4M input accepts most Shure lavalier and headworn microphones with a TA4M connector. Refer to Shure compatibility documentation for a confirmed list of compatible external microphones.

Does the MXW1X/O-Z10 work with the original Microflex Wireless (first-generation) access points?
The MXW1X/O is designed for the Microflex Wireless neXt (neXt 2) system. Compatibility with first-generation MXW access points should be verified with Shure documentation before deployment.

How does room control integration work with this bodypack?
The MXW1X transmitter communicates through the Microflex Wireless neXt network, enabling room control systems (Crestron, AMX, Q-SYS, and others) to remotely mute or unmute the bodypack as part of an automated AV workflow.

What warranty applies to the MXW1X/O-Z10?
Shure provides a two-year limited warranty. For commercial AV procurement and support, contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.
