2 ELEGANT DESIGN. ELOQUENT PERFORMANCE. Introducing Microflex Advance Networked Array Microphones: versatile and elegant AV conferencing solutions that discreetly and precisely capture the richness of the human voice. Shure Microflex Advance array microphones feature market-unique, new technologies that fundamentally change voice coverage and capture in AV conferencing and collaboration environments. Microflex Advance Ceiling Arrays provide configurable and invisible coverage from above, for rooms of any size, shape or application. Microflex Advance Table Arrays provide versatile and adjustable coverage areas in elegant, low-profile tabletop solutions. Both feature new Shure software tools that enable AV conference room designers to be more creative and conference managers to be more productive.

5 WHY SHOULD YOU LISTEN? IT MANAGER & ADMINISTRATOR Microflex 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. USER CEO Teams 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. Microflex 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. CFO & FINANCE TEAM Microflex 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 industryleading service and proven reliability, it presents a future-proof investment. 05

6 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 Coverage Configure 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 Networking Mix, 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

7 Microflex Advance MXA910 Ceiling Array Microphone Application Profile 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.

8 Microflex Advance MXA310 Table Array Microphone Application Profile 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. Coverage Map 1 Round Table 6 Chairs 2 Cardioid Patterns 1 Bidirectional Pattern 08

9 AGILE TABLETOP PERFORMANCE Table Array microphones use Steerable Coverage technology to capture pristine audio around conference tables of different sizes, shapes and uses. Configurable Coverage Set 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 Networking Mix, 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. Exclusive Toroid Pattern Optimizes the voices of seated or standing participants by rejecting overhead noise from projectors or other sources. 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. Color LED Choices Specify one of 8 LED colors to communicate microphone mute states, room security levels or other conditions. 09

10 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 Tools Both array microphones and the ANI4s feature browserbased 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. 10

11 Shure IntrelliMix DSP Suite Rich Third-Party Controls 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. 11
