Shure MXW6X Boundary Transmitter

The Shure MXW6X Boundary Transmitter is a sleek, low‑profile boundary microphone solution designed for modern conference spaces, boardrooms, and classrooms. With selectable cardioid or omnidirectional pickup patterns, this boundary transmitter sits virtually flush on a table or desktop, making it easy to position in front of one or multiple talkers without drawing attention away from the discussion. Built to integrate seamlessly with the Shure Microflex Wireless ecosystem, the MXW6X delivers clear, natural sound, robust RF performance, and flexible placement options that adapt to varying room geometries and seating arrangements. Whether you’re recording a single presenter or capturing multiple voices around a large table, the MXW6X helps you achieve intelligible, immersive audio with minimal setup time. The included SB906 lithium battery pack provides long life, so sessions run longer between charges, and the compact form factor keeps the equipment footprint tidy and unobtrusive. In short, the MXW6X Boundary Transmitter is the reliable, versatile choice for wireless conference audio that sounds as good as it looks.

• Flexible microphone options: Choose cardioid for focused pickup directly in front of the speaker or omnidirectional to capture voices from a wider seating arrangement. The ability to switch pickup patterns helps tailor sound for room acoustics and seating layouts, reducing feedback and background noise while preserving natural voice quality.
• Low-profile, table-ready design: A compact boundary form factor sits discreetly on a table or desk, blending with contemporary conference room aesthetics. Its unobtrusive appearance keeps sightlines clear for presenters and participants while delivering consistent coverage across the speaking area.
• Long-lasting battery life: Operate for up to 17 hours with the SB906 lithium battery pack, enabling all-day meetings or multi-session use without frequent recharging. When paired with the right charging routine, the MXW6X minimizes downtime and ensures the system stays ready when conversations flow.
• Seamless integration with Microflex Wireless: The MXW6X is designed to work within the Microflex Wireless ecosystem, providing reliable wireless audio transmission to compatible base stations and software for easy setup, monitoring, and management across rooms and campuses.
• Versatile placement for one or many talkers: Ideal for single-presenter soliloquies or multi-talker discussions, the MXW6X can be positioned in front of the talkers to optimize pickup and maintain natural dynamics in the room, reducing the need for multiple mics and simplifying cable management.

How to install Shure MXW6X Boundary Transmitter

• Prepare the system: Ensure your Microflex Wireless base station and software are installed and up to date. Verify that the MXW6X is compatible with your current MXW network and that you have the appropriate SB906 battery pack ready.

• Position the transmitter: Place the MXW6X on the conference table or desktop in front of the primary talker(s). Aim for a central location that provides even coverage to the intended speakers while staying out of the way of attendees and presenters.
• Power up and pair: Power on the MXW6X and use the MXW base station interface or software to pair the transmitter with the wireless network. Assign a clear talker ID if your room setup uses multiple boundary transmitters to differentiate sources.
• Set microphone pickup pattern: Use the control interface to select cardioid or omnidirectional pickup based on room layout and the number of talkers. Make sure the chosen pattern aligns with your seating arrangement for optimal clarity and minimized ambient noise.
• Test and calibrate: Run a quick audio test with participants, adjusting gain and distance as needed to achieve balanced levels. Check for feedback, ensure consistent vocal pickup, and verify that the system correctly routes audio to the conference room speakers or recording device.
• Finalize and document: Save your configuration in the base station software, label the transmitter for quick future identification, and communicate the setup to facility staff or IT so maintenance checklists include this device.
