Shure MXW8W=-Z10 Desktop Gooseneck Base Transmitter (White)

Product Overview

The Shure MXW8 is a desktop gooseneck base transmitter for the Microflex Wireless system, designed for clean, cable-free speech pickup at conference tables and lecterns. Its contoured, minimal-footprint base accepts Microflex modular gooseneck microphones and transmits encrypted audio to a Microflex Wireless access point. The white finish and discreet profile make it well suited to boardrooms and commercial meeting spaces that need wireless gooseneck coverage.

Product Description

The MXW8 provides a wireless desktop base for Microflex modular gooseneck microphones, which are available in multiple lengths with polar pattern and LED options to match the room and application. As part of the Microflex Wireless platform, it delivers encrypted transmission and bi-directional wireless that enables return-channel audio and real-time remote control of microphone settings, including light-ring indication, earphone output, and a programmable mute button. An advanced lithium-ion battery provides up to nine hours of continuous use and charges fully in about two hours, with networked remote monitoring of remaining runtime and charge status in hours and minutes; a low-battery LED alerts when roughly 30 minutes of charge remain. Charging with the SBC-USB adapter takes less than 3.5 hours while the microphone is in use. This combination of wireless flexibility, modular gooseneck options, and managed power suits boardroom, training room, and government meeting deployments.
