Shure MXW8X Desktop Based Gooseneck Transmitter without Microphone, Z10: 1880-1900MHz

While the Shure MXW8X Desktop Based Gooseneck Transmitter without Microphone, Z10: 1880-1900MHz is designed to seamlessly integrate with the Microflex Wireless neXt system, it stands out with its sleek and compact design, making it an ideal choice for any conference setting. This transmitter is engineered to accept Microflex modular gooseneck microphones, which are available in various lengths and offer diverse polar pattern and LED options, ensuring versatility and adaptability for different audio needs.

The MXW8X is renowned for delivering exceptional audio quality and reliable wireless performance, thanks to its encrypted AES-256 transmission that guarantees privacy during meetings. Its advanced rechargeability is a significant advantage for conferencing and presentation applications, providing up to 39 hours of continuous use with its smart lithium-ion internal batteries. These batteries charge fully in just 4 hours and allow for remote monitoring of remaining runtime and charge status via the network.

Featuring a six-pin modular connector, the MXW8X is compatible with Microflex MX405, MX410, and MX415 gooseneck microphones. The high-resolution matrix display offers precise runtime information, including remaining battery life, time to full charge, RF connection quality, and system alerts such as approaching out of RF range. Users can also edit component details like mic name and access point linkage directly from the display.

The transmitter's concealed power switch prevents accidental shutdowns, while its bi-directional wireless capability supports return channel audio and real-time remote control of all wireless microphone settings, including light ring indications. An earphone output via a USB-C port allows users to listen to audio from a return channel, which is useful for translation, cueing, or program material.

The programmable mute button offers flexible control options, allowing individual mic control, all mics, or remote muting with push-to-talk, push-to-mute, momentary, or toggle functionality. Additionally, the MXW8X provides a wide working range of up to 160 feet (48.76 meters), ensuring reliable wireless coverage. An out-of-range alert emits a beeping sound to notify users when the range limit is exceeded.

Easy wireless linking is facilitated by docking the microphone in a networked charging station and pressing "Link," simplifying the setup process. The low-battery LED provides a visual alert when there are 30 minutes of charge remaining, and USB charging ensures "always on" usage by connecting to any standard USB power source. Charge time using the SBC-USB adapter is less than 3.5 hours, even while the mic is in use, making the Shure MXW8X a highly efficient and user-friendly choice for professional audio environments.
