ARCHITECT &INTERIOR DESIGNERProviding an “invisible“ audio solution, Microflex Advance enables architects and interior designers to create visually stunning workspaces, without sacrificing sound quality. It gives clients the style they want and the audio quality they need.

SYSTEM DESIGNER & INTEGRATORMicroflex Advance offers increased efficiency and unique application flexibility that let you deliver great AV solutions much faster. The power of Shure IntelliMix and Dante make system design, installation, and configuration simple and straightforward.

04

CEOTeams work more effectively and produce better results when communication between their members is natural and effortless. Microflex Advance eliminates inefficient meetings caused by poor audio, and allows the team to focus on their work rather than spending time to make things work.

WHY SHOULD YOU LISTEN?

05

USERMicroflex Advance enables users to be more productive and creative - simply, to do their best work. It enhances communication by allowing everyone to hear, and be heard and understood clearly, while removing distractions and avoiding listener fatigue during collaboration sessions.

IT MANAGER &ADMINISTRATORMicroflex Advance smoothly integrates into your existing IT infrastructure, without affecting network speed or performance. Scalable to any size, with central control capabilities, it makes AV/IT support more effective and less time consuming.

CFO & FINANCE TEAMMicroflex Advance is a cost-effective audio solution that can be deployed in a variety of applications, eliminating the need for separate audio equipment purchases for audio-only and video conferencing use. Backed by industry-leading service and proven reliability, it presents a future-proof investment.

ULTIMATE AV FLEXIBILITY

Ceiling Arrays use Steerable Coverage™ technology to position pick-up areas throughout a room with coverage more precise than shotgun microphones.

Configurable CoverageConfigure up to eight pick-up patterns in three dimensions and adjust them for uniform acoustic performance throughout the room. Each Ceiling Array lobe can be steered toward a participant using the Auto Configuration mode in the control software for quick audio setup and capture.

Flexible NetworkingMix, route and manage the signals from up to eight coverage areas as discrete channels on a Dante network over a single Ethernet cable. An individual automix channel provides added flexibility.

Workflow Efficiency The microphone includes multiple templates to speed initial set-up and ten presets for importing or exporting array configurations.

Digital Signal Processing Microflex Advance Ceiling arrays feature the new Shure IntelliMix™ DSP Suite for precise coverage settings, automatic mixing and equalization, and echo reduction.

06

A Ceiling Array is ideal for formal boardrooms

where no visible microphones on the work

surface is the preference. This microphone is

configured to capture seven discrete listening

areas with coverage for an 11-seat meeting.

Under average room conditions, at a

height of approx. 3 meters with seated

talkers, the recommended coverage

diameter is approx. 9 meters.

Microflex Advance MXA310 Table Array Microphone

Table Arrays are ideal for meeting rooms

where the number of attendees varies and

an uncluttered table is preferred.

This microphone captures six meeting

participants in three discrete listening

areas with two cardioid patterns and one

bidirectional pick-up pattern.

Application Profile

AGILE TABLETOP PERFORMANCE

Table Array microphones use Steerable Coverage™ technology to capture pristine audio around conference tables of different sizes, shapes and uses.

Color LED ChoicesSpecify one of 8 LED colors to

communicate microphone mute states, room security levels or other conditions.

Exclusive Toroid PatternOptimizes the voices of seated or standing

participants by rejecting overhead noise from projectors or other sources.

09

Configurable CoverageSet the coverage geometry for up to four areas in 15˚ increments, and specify the polar pattern for each configuration including cardioid, supercardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional and a new, market-unique toroid pattern.

Flexible NetworkingMix, route and manage the signals from up to four coverage areas as discrete channels on a Dante network over a single Ethernet cable. An individual automix channel provides added flexibility.

Mute Controls Program the touch-sensitive mute button for toggle, push-to-mute, push-to-talk or disable settings to send controls to external devices.

LED Displays The configurable multi-colored LED light ring shows the mute status of the microphone in use and displays lighted segments to confirm coverage areas and automix settings.

SIMPLY SMARTER SOLUTIONS

Both arrays include the Shure IntelliMix™ DSP Suite, an expanded toolset of proprietary DSP tools that optimize voice quality by reducing room noise and improving speech intelligibility.

Shure IntelliMix™ DSP Suite

Steerable Coverage™ Configure and control incredibly accurate polar patterns that capture participants in any location of a meeting space. Preconfigured templates in the control software simplify setup.

Echo Reduction (Ceiling Array only)

Employs a simple way of reducing acoustic echo by preventing far end talkers from activating local microphone channels. Very effective as a front end to codecs with single channel AEC.

Automatic Mixing Increases clarity and reduces noise. This yields improved audio quality, intelligibility, and seamless interaction between conference sites.

Parametric Equalization (PEQ) Each Ceiling Array and ANI4 channel features a 4-band PEQ for the precise control of sound, while Table Arrays feature a 4-band PEQ that is assignable to any channel including the Automatic Mixer output channel.

Browser-Based ToolsBoth array microphones and the ANI4s feature browser-based tools that make it easy to remotely monitor and control microphones, configure capture areas using convenient templates, set polar pattern preferences and specify mixing and routing preferences.

11

Shure IntrelliMix™ DSP Suite

Both microphones work seamlessly with audio

conferencing processors, video conferencing

codecs, and PC-based conferencing solutions.

They also offer an extensive API (Application

Program Interface) for versatile integration and

control of muting, presets, LED states, and other

settings via third-party control systems.

Rich Third-Party Controls

APPLICATION FLEXIBILITYMatch single or multiple arrays to the AV conferencing needs of rooms of any size, configuration or activity: formal presentations, intimate discussions, distance learning or collaborative work.
