Shure has introduced the MXA925 Ceiling Array Microphone, the latest flagship of its Microflex Advance (MXA) portfolio and issued a firmware update to the MXA901 Ceiling Array Microphone.
The MXA925 Ceiling Array Microphone introduces a completely new processing platform that features AI-enabled IntelliMix DSP onboard for consistent audio capture and intelligibility in all types of acoustic environments. AI Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), along with AI Denoiser and AI Deverb, enables the MXA925 to overcome real-world meeting room challenges, including loudspeakers too close to the microphone, reverberation caused by windows and other surfaces, moving talkers or distracting background noises like keyboards or pen clicks.
These AI-trained features work out-of-the-box for easy deployment and faster standardisation across meeting spaces. Ongoing firmware updates will continue to improve performance and protect customers’ investment as Shure evolves and enhances the MXA925 AI-enabled algorithms.
‘We approach innovation as a process of continuous refinement,’ says Global Product Manager, Evan Groom. ‘MXA925 builds on what customers already trust about Microflex Advance, while introducing new AI-enabled processing capabilities that help even the most acoustically difficult meeting rooms perform better.’
Certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom, the MXA925 also integrates smoothly into IT workflows, offering enhanced security with dual RJ45 network connectivity for confident and protected communications. Remote device management, real-time monitoring and firmware updates are provided via ShureCloud.
Extending the capabilities of the MXA901 Ceiling Array Microphone, firmware v6.9, gives users increased flexibility and control. New features include improved support for voice lift applications via discrete outputs in Steerable Coverage mode, enhanced camera tracking via the Optimize Tracking feature, additional Automixer and Speech Gating Threshold controls, and a fully flexible single Automatic Coverage zone to ensure natural speech in more demanding room applications.
With these updates delivered via firmware, the MXA901 is now able to support more use cases in the workplace, and existing installations can now support more room designs without adding and upgrading hardware.
