Shure MXWAPXD2 – MXW neXt 2 Two-Channel Access Point Transceiver and Charger

Product Overview

The Shure MXWAPXD2 is a compact 2-channel access point transceiver and integrated charging station for the Microflex Wireless neXt 2 (MXW neXt 2) conferencing system, operating in the 1.9 GHz DECT frequency band. Designed for conference room, boardroom, and government meeting space AV installations, it combines wireless RF management, IntelliMix DSP audio processing, transmitter charging, and flexible audio outputs in a single PoE-powered desktop or ceiling unit. Automatic Frequency Management continuously scans the 1.9 GHz band and avoids interference without interrupting audio, reducing setup complexity in multi-room enterprise wireless deployments. Audio outputs including Dante, analog, and USB-C connect the unit to the full range of commercial AV signal chains, conferencing codecs, and UC platforms.

Product Description

The MXWAPXD2 serves as the central hub of the MXW neXt 2 system, coordinating wireless audio from up to two simultaneously active transmitters while simultaneously charging docked MXW1X bodypack, MXW2X handheld, or MXW6X boundary transmitters. Onboard IntelliMix DSP provides Acoustic Echo Cancellation, Noise Reduction, and Automatic Mixing locally, enabling direct connection to a videoconferencing codec or USB host without requiring a separate external DSP. The 1.9 GHz DECT band avoids the crowded 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi spectrum, reducing wireless interference risk in enterprise environments where dense Wi-Fi deployments are common. Dual RJ45 Dante ports allow separation of audio and control network traffic, supporting enterprise network security policies in government and corporate installations. The system supports wireless range up to 150 ft (50 m), suitable for conference room, training room, and mid-size meeting space deployments. For compatible handheld transmitters to pair with the MXWAPXD2, see the MXW2X/BETA58 and MXW2X/SM58 handheld transmitters at Creation Networks.

Key Features

• 1.9 GHz DECT Wireless Operation — Avoids 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi congestion, reducing interference risk in dense enterprise wireless environments without spectrum coordination with IT.
• Automatic Frequency Management — Continuously monitors the 1.9 GHz band and switches channels automatically to avoid interference without interrupting active audio.
• Integrated 2-Slot Charging Station — Charges docked MXW1X bodypack, MXW2X handheld, or MXW6X boundary transmitters simultaneously with active wireless operation.
• Onboard IntelliMix DSP — Built-in AEC, Noise Reduction, and Automatic Mixing enable direct integration with UC platforms and codecs without a standalone external DSP unit.
• Dante, Analog, and USB-C Audio Outputs — Flexible connectivity supports integration into AV-over-IP networks, analog mixing consoles, and direct USB connection to conferencing computers.
• Dual RJ45 Dante Ports — Separate Dante audio and control network traffic to support enterprise network segmentation and security policies.
• PoE Powered — Single Ethernet cable delivers power and network connectivity, simplifying installation and eliminating a dedicated power supply run.
• Up to 150 ft (50 m) Wireless Range — Coverage suitable for conference rooms, training rooms, and mid-size commercial meeting spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many transmitters can work simultaneously with one MXWAPXD2?

The MXWAPXD2 supports two simultaneously active wireless transmitters. For deployments requiring more than two channels, additional MXWAPXD2 units can be added to the network within the same space, subject to interference and spectrum planning.

Does the MXWAPXD2 require an IT-managed Wi-Fi band?

No. The MXW neXt 2 system operates in the 1.9 GHz DECT frequency band, which is separate from 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi. This eliminates the need for Wi-Fi spectrum coordination with IT in most enterprise deployments and reduces interference from dense office wireless networks.

Can the MXWAPXD2 connect directly to a laptop or video conferencing system via USB?

Yes. The USB-C output presents the MXWAPXD2 as a USB audio device, allowing direct connection to a conferencing computer without an external audio interface. Dante and analog outputs are also available for integration into larger AV signal chains.

What transmitters are compatible with the MXWAPXD2?

The MXWAPXD2 is compatible with MXW neXt 2 system transmitters including the MXW1X bodypack, MXW2X handheld, and MXW6X boundary transmitters. It is not backwards-compatible with legacy MXW (first-generation Microflex Wireless) transmitters.
