Shure MXA902 Ceiling Array Microphone with Integrated Loudspeaker

About: Shure MXA902 Ceiling Array Microphone with Integrated Loudspeaker

Introducing the first-of-its-kind MXA902 Integrated Conferencing Ceiling Array – a complete ceiling-mounted audio solution for AV conferencing, ideal for delivering premium audio capture and reproduction for small to medium-sized meeting spaces, and with minimal setup required.

The MXA902 combines a next generation array microphone for enhanced directional voice capture with an integrated wide-dispersion loudspeaker for natural sounding far-end speech reproduction plus onboard IntelliMix digital signal processing in a single ceiling unit, for the ultimate blend of superior sound quality and streamlined deployment.

The Fastest Way to Better Sound

• Array microphone and loudspeaker in one unit for premium sound with minimal installation time
• Single Zone Automatic Coverage technology to capture audio from a 20 by 20 foot (6 by 6 meter) area out of the box
• Integrated 2.5-inch wide-dispersion loudspeaker for clear, intelligible speech reproduction
• Onboard IntelliMix DSP with Acoustic Echo Cancellation, Noise Reduction, automatic mixing, AGC, EQ for echo- and noise-free audio
• Square form factor available in 2 ft or 60 cm sizes with paintable white finish 
• Versatile options for ceiling, pole, or wire rope suspension mounting

How it Works

• An advanced array microphone, wide-dispersion loudspeaker and powerful signal processing combined into one unit for premium sound.
• Single Zone Automatic Coverage technology captures every talker in a 20 by 20 foot (6 by 6 meter) area while avoiding conversations and noises from other areas.
• High-output loudspeaker is optimized for voice reproduction to ensure effortless collaboration.
• Onboard IntelliMix DSP applies automatic mixing, echo cancellation, noise reduction, and automatic gain control for a pristine audio mix.

Why it's Better

• A single device requires only one network cable, minimizing installation time compared to separate components.
• An integrated ceiling device reduces clutter on tables and walls for a cleaner interior design.
• Next generation array architecture delivers enhanced low frequency directionality and the most natural speech quality.
• Unlike wall-mounted soundbar devices, a ceiling-mounted array mic and loudspeaker provide more consistent sound quality for every participant.

Quality that's in the Details

• Certified for use with Microsoft Teams, Zoom and compatible with popular collaboration tools.
• Square form factor available in 2 ft or 60 cm sizes with paintable white finish to meet the architectural needs of today’s meeting spaces.
• Audio, PoE+ power, and control signals connect via Dante/AES67 digital audio networking over a single cable.
• Shure Audio Encryption keeps meeting content secure between the MXA902 and other Microflex Ecosystem devices in the room.
• LED status bar with configurable colors and brightness.
• Command strings enable seamless integration with third-party room control systems.
