Analog wireless systems have no latency and tend to do better towards the end of range limits (with albeit noisier operation) where digital wireless may just drop out at the end of their useful range. Analog is also more forgiving with interference, since they transmit over a single carrier and do well when the noise floor is high.

Digital wireless systems tend to have better audio as far as dynamic and frequency response, as well as usually being less noisy at end of their useful range. Digital wireless is more efficient, allowing users to pack many more channels of audio into the same available bandwidth and tend to have 30–40% longer battery life than equivalent analog systems.

Comprehensive, innovative and failsafe, Axient provides highly advanced planning, setup and control capabilities as a forward-thinking response to spectrum management realities.

Premium Conferencing Audio for Elite Boardrooms

Vivid, lifelike sound: Microflex microphone elements flawlessly capture full-range audio for clear, detailed communication.

Versatile microphone selection: Wireless boundary, gooseneck, bodypack, and handheld models are available to fit any conferencing application.

Discreet designs: With elegant aesthetics and a low-profile footprint, Microflex Wireless systems are designed to install easily and disappear into AV environments.

Scalable solutions: 4- and 8-channel systems can be combined to support configurations of up to 40 compatible channels (80 in Europe and select countries). In High Density mode (requires firmware version 5.x), up to 80 compatible channels can be used (up to 160 in Europe and select countries). Adjustable power limits enable additional channels to operate in separate rooms. Subnet scalability/size: up to 20 APT4 or APT8 devices per subnet*.

Networked Digital Wireless for Enterprise-Scale Environments

Dante digital audio networking: Integrated solution transports low-latency, uncompressed audio over standard Ethernet networks.

Ethernet connectivity: All Microflex Wireless networking components connect via Cat5e cable for simplified installation.

Corporate network ready: Connect to corporate networks and third-party control systems using standard networking protocols for remote management and campus-wide implementation.

Microflex Wireless Control Software: Browser-based control software offers comprehensive remote monitoring and control of all settings and status parameters over the web, a corporate network or an AV local area network. Access the software via the Shure Web Device Discovery Application.

Control system compatible: Third-party control and automation systems (AMX, Crestron) are fully compatible with Microflex Wireless, enabling the creation of custom interfaces on touchscreen panels.

Intelligent Performance, Simplified Setup and Operation

Advanced rechargeable power management: Smart lithium-ion rechargeable batteries deliver up to eight hours of continuous use, enable remote status monitoring while in the charger and provide remaining runtime in hours and minutes while in use via networked control systems.

Automated frequency coordination: Microflex Wireless systems actively scan the available spectrum and coordinate clean, compatible frequencies for every microphone channel. While in use, systems automatically move away from unexpected interference.

Encrypted wireless: Audio transmission is protected by AES-256 encryption, the same secure standard used in top government applications.

Selectable transmit power: Select the appropriate wireless output power per room to optimize spectrum usage, range and battery life.
