Shure Mounting Suspension for Microphone Array
Shure Mounting Suspension for Microphone Array provides a purpose-built solution to securely install the MXA710 in grid ceilings with clean, professional integration. This tile-bridge mounting supports stable positioning, optimal coverage, and minimal acoustic interference across the room, ensuring you get consistent, high-quality audio while preserving ceiling aesthetics in conference rooms, classrooms, and corporate spaces.
Engineered for reliability in busy environments, the suspension offers a straightforward installation path that reduces downtime and sidesteps common ceiling-room acoustic challenges. By combining grid-ceiling compatibility with a robust mounting platform, it helps AV integrators deliver a turnkey audio solution that looks as good as it sounds.
- Tile-bridge design for grid ceilings – This mounting suspension is engineered as a tile-bridge solution that fits seamlessly with standard grid-ceiling systems. It enables clean, professional integration by placing the MXA710 behind a ceiling tile, preserving the room’s aesthetic while delivering reliable performance. The tile-bridge approach reduces visible hardware, simplifies cable management, and supports predictable alignment so installations look as good as they sound in conference rooms, classrooms, and corporate spaces. The design also helps minimize visual clutter, creating a seamless ceiling plane that complements modern interiors while maintaining easy access to cabling behind the tile when maintenance is required.
- Secure, stable mounting for MXA710 – The suspension provides robust support that keeps the microphone array in a fixed, optimal position. By minimizing movement from air currents or structural shifts, it ensures consistent coverage across the listening area and prevents drift that could compromise voice pickup. This stability is essential in spaces with dynamic seating, moving presenters, or changing room layouts. With a secure mounting, the MXA710 maintains reliable, uniform pickup performance from front row to back row, delivering intelligible speech in meetings, lectures, and broadcast-style settings.
- Minimized acoustic interference – By isolating the MXA710 from ceiling structure, the mounting suspension reduces resonances and reflections that can degrade signal integrity. The result is clearer voice reproduction, lower feedback risk, and more accurate beamforming for every seat. This benefit is especially noticeable in rooms with reflective surfaces or challenging acoustic profiles, where the mounting’s isolation helps preserve natural speech characteristics and reduce unwanted room noise that can muddy conversations.
- Installation-friendly and service-aware – Designed for fast, predictable installations, the suspension works with standard ceiling tiles and mounting hardware. It provides clean cable routing and convenient access to cabling behind the tile for service or upgrades, without requiring invasive ceiling removal. For technicians, the system reduces installation time and post-install adjustments while preserving maintenance access. The durable design stays aligned under routine service, ensuring long-term performance with less downtime.
- Durable construction and trusted brand – Built to meet the demands of modern conference rooms and education spaces, this Shure suspension carries the brand’s reputation for quality and reliability. Its sturdy hardware withstands daily use, supports long-term alignment, and remains compatible with the MXA710 across years of service. When integrated into a comprehensive Shure audio system, it reinforces a cohesive, professional sound solution that gains trust from IT teams, facilities managers, and end users alike.

How to install Shure Mounting Suspension for Microphone Array
To ensure the MXA710 delivers its best performance in a grid-ceiling environment, follow these installation steps. This guide provides general best practices; always consult your facility’s guidelines and Shure product manuals for model-specific instructions.
- Prepare the ceiling and access the plenum: If needed, gently lift the grid tile to reveal the ceiling plenum and determine the exact mounting path for the tile-bridge suspension. Ensure power is off and cables are organized to avoid pinching or over-stressing connections. Verify there is clear airflow for proper microphone operation and that the tile can be re-seated securely after installation.
- Position the tile-bridge suspension: Align the suspension with the MXA710 mounting footprint and the grid layout. Confirm there is adequate space behind the tile for cabling, connectors, and any required termination points. Check that the suspension will not interfere with other ceiling-mounted devices and that it sits level within the grid plane.
- Secure the suspension to the building structure: Use appropriate fasteners that match the grid system and ceiling framework. Tighten to remove movement but avoid over-tightening, which could distort tiles or strain the suspension. If needed, coordinate with building management or facilities staff to ensure fasteners meet structural requirements and do not compromise ceiling integrity.
- Attach the MXA710 to the suspension: Mount the microphone array to the suspension according to Shure’s installation guide, ensuring the unit is level, stable, and free from obstructions that could affect coverage. Verify that mounting points engage securely and that bracing does not restrict microphone opening angles or the acoustic path.
- Re-seat the ceiling tile and test: Replace the tile, verify alignment with the array, and run a test of the microphone coverage. Perform coverage scans across the room to confirm consistent pickup from all zones. Make any minor adjustments to positioning as needed to optimize speech intelligibility and minimize noise pickup from HVAC or other ambient sources.
