MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 are connected to ShureCloud, Shure’s cloud-enabled centralized 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 premium audio for spaces of all sizes requiring from four up to 160 (depending upon your region) wireless microphones and connect directly to videoconferencing systems for situations with remote presenters. 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 and easy integration thanks 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.

Recognizing the importance of confidentiality, 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, giving both end users and integrators peace of mind.
