More Flexible Microflex

Shure has launched Microflex Wireless neXt 4 and neXt 8 (MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8). Building on the release of the award-winning 2-channel system in 2024, MXW neXt is now available in 4 and 8 channel count options – offering fully reimagined wireless collaboration with contemporary industrial design, pristine audio quality, and groundbreaking speed of set-up. Scalable to a variety of meeting and classroom environments, MXW neXt sets the standard for best-in-class wireless.

“MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 are excellent solutions for those seeking highly flexible and easy-to-set-up wireless systems that enhance collaboration and interactivity,” said Ralf Klinnert, Senior Manager, Product Management at Shure. “Now with new four and eight-channel systems, AV integrators and IT managers have access to expanded capabilities for medium to extra-large spaces. MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 feature upgraded product components and increased software connectivity to simplify workflows while continuing to deliver exceptional audio performance.”

Superior Wireless
AV integrators and IT managers require robust and flexible wireless systems that are easy to get up and running in minutes with the touch of a button. As part of the MXW neXt portfolio, MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 feature a unique combination of IntelliMix digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities and comprehensive I/O connections, including USB, Dante networked audio, and analogue audio.

Mics pair in seconds, streamlining complex installation workflows and offering outstanding audio out-of-the-box. Users can set up MXW neXt in minutes and through Designer 6 Software integration, can easily redesign end-to-end workflows and create intuitive system layouts.
For streamlined control of Shure networked audio devices, MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 are connected to ShureCloud, Shure’s cloud-enabled centralised management platform. With ShureCloud, AV integrators and IT managers gain real-time remote access to manage, monitor, remotely update, and control devices from anywhere, ensuring flexibility and convenience.

Enhanced to Meet Evolving Hybrid Needs
MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 provide premium audio for spaces of all sizes requiring from 4 up to 1601 wireless microphones and connect directly to video conferencing systems for situations with remote presenters. Redesigned microphones, including a new gooseneck transmitter, offer increased battery life of up to 39 hours of operating time to guarantee all-day use without the need for frequent swap-outs. With quick and easy integration thanks to the base unit that includes advanced onboard IntelliMix DSP, MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 can be network-installed or used as a standalone system.

Trusted Encryption
Recognising the importance of confidentiality, MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 include Shure Audio Encryption, based on the AES-256 algorithm that offers a robust and protected audio signal. The AES-256 encryption algorithm has been adopted as one of the safest forms of network protection and uses a user-configured passphrase on all devices. This built-in security ensures audio content is protected among all Microflex devices in the room, giving both end users and integrators peace of mind.

System Configurations
MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 offer a choice of four redesigned wireless microphone form factors, each with an added LCD high-resolution matrix display for monitoring battery life, connection quality and more. The MXW1X Bodypack, MXW2X Handheld (available with a choice of mic capsules), MXW6X Boundary or MXW8X Gooseneck can be pre-configured to handle multiple applications with ease. MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 feature a new space-saving Gooseneck charger that can charge up to eight microphones each, and chargers can now be daisy-chained via ethernet connection to the associated wireless access point.

Shure’s MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 connects seamlessly with videoconferencing platforms – and the boundary microphone option is Certified for Microsoft Teams.
