Shure releases Microflex Wireless neXt 4 and neXt 8

Shure has announced the launch of Microflex Wireless neXt 4 and neXt 8 (MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8). Building on the release of the 2-channel system in 2024, MXW neXt is now available in four and eight channel count options - offering fully reimagined wireless collaboration with contemporary industrial design, scalable to a variety of meeting and classroom environments.

“Now with new four- and eight-channel systems, AV integrators and IT managers have access to expanded capabilities for medium to extra-large spaces”, says Ralf Klinnert, Senior Manager, Product Management at Shure. “MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 feature upgraded product components and increased software connectivity to simplify workflows.”

As part of the MXW neXt portfolio, MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 feature a combination of IntelliMix digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities and comprehensive I/O connections, including USB, Dante networked audio, and analog audio. Mics pair in seconds to streamline complex installation workflows. Users can set up MXW neXt in minutes, and through Designer 6 Software integration they can 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.

MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 provide audio for spaces of all sizes requiring from 4 up to 160 wireless microphones and connect directly to video conferencing systems for situations with remote presenters. The maximum number of channels may vary depending on regional specifications. 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 integration due 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.

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.

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. 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.

MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 connects seamlessly with videoconferencing platforms, and the boundary microphone option is Certified for Microsoft Teams. MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 are set to be available in spring.
