Shure MXW2X/VP68-Z10 Microflex Wireless neXt 2 Handheld Transmitter with VP68 Capsule

Product Overview

The Shure MXW2X/VP68-Z10 is a rechargeable wireless handheld transmitter designed for the Microflex Wireless neXt 2 system, operating in the 1.9 GHz DECT band. It pairs the VP68 omnidirectional condenser capsule with up to 25 hours of battery life, making it a reliable choice for presenters and commercial AV deployments where pass-around Q&A microphones are required. Encrypted digital transmission and dual antennas ensure consistent, interference-resistant performance across conference rooms, boardrooms, and multi-purpose spaces.

Product Description

The MXW2X/VP68-Z10 integrates with the Microflex Wireless neXt 2 ecosystem, providing AV integrators and facilities managers a scalable wireless handheld solution for professional meeting environments. The VP68 capsule's omnidirectional polar pattern captures speech uniformly regardless of mic angle, well-suited for collaborative sessions where microphone technique varies. The SB908 rechargeable lithium battery pack supports all-day operation on a single charge, reducing the operational overhead of disposable batteries in high-use commercial spaces. Programmable mute functionality — configurable as push-to-talk, push-to-mute, or push-on/push-off — gives room administrators flexible control options for managed meeting environments. For boundary transmitter options in the same system, see the Shure MXW6X/C-Z10 Boundary Transmitter.

Key Features

• VP68 Omnidirectional Condenser Capsule — Captures speech from any angle without requiring precise mic positioning, reducing user error in conference room and boardroom pass-around applications.
• Up to 25-Hour Battery Life — The included SB908 rechargeable lithium battery pack delivers full-day runtime, eliminating the need for disposable batteries in commercial AV installations.
• 1.9 GHz DECT Operation (Z10) — Operates in the DECT frequency band, which is license-free in the US and provides reliable separation from Wi-Fi and other 2.4 GHz RF congestion common in commercial spaces.
• Dual Transmit Antennas — Antenna diversity maximizes transmission range regardless of how the handheld is gripped, maintaining stable audio quality throughout the coverage area.
• Encrypted Digital Transmission — AES-encrypted audio link protects conference audio from interception, meeting enterprise security requirements for government, legal, and corporate environments.
• Programmable Mute Button — Configurable for push-to-talk, push-to-mute, or toggle-mute modes, with the option to control one or multiple transmitters simultaneously from a single input.
• Microflex Wireless neXt 2 Compatibility — Designed for the MXW neXt ecosystem, enabling centralized management and coordination with other MXW transmitters, access points, and system components.

Typical Applications

• Boardroom wireless Q&A and presenter microphone for executive meetings
• Conference room all-hands and town hall pass-around microphone deployments
• Government space and legal proceeding microphone systems requiring encrypted audio
• Training room and multi-purpose room flexible wireless microphone setups
• Commercial meeting space managed wireless microphone infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions

What wireless access point is required for the MXW2X/VP68-Z10?
The MXW2X/VP68-Z10 requires a compatible Microflex Wireless neXt 2 access point transceiver (such as the MXWAPXD2) to operate. It is not compatible with the original MXW (first-generation) access points.

Can this transmitter be muted remotely by the AV system?
Yes. The programmable mute button supports push-to-talk, push-to-mute, and push-on/push-off configurations, and can be set to control one or multiple transmitters simultaneously through the system interface.

Is the 1.9 GHz DECT frequency band license-free?
Yes. In the United States, the 1.9 GHz DECT band used by Z10 products is license-free, simplifying deployment in commercial facilities without requiring FCC coordination.

How is the battery recharged, and does it require removal?
The SB908 battery pack charges in the MXW charging station. Check current Shure documentation for whether in-transmitter charging is supported in your specific deployment configuration.

What is the warranty coverage for the MXW2X/VP68-Z10?
Shure provides a standard two-year warranty on the MXW2X/VP68-Z10. Contact Creation Networks for commercial AV support and procurement assistance at creationnetworks.net.
