WHAT: The Microflex Complete Wireless Conference System (MXCW) from Shure now features a Handsfree Mode for effortless conversation with touchless convenience, perfect for less-formal environments where free-flowing conversation is a requirement.
With the new Handsfree Mode, participants’ microphones are automatically voice-activated without the need to press a physical button. When a participant stops talking, their mic shuts off. To accommodate various styles and dynamics of meetings, MXCW users can toggle between handsfree, manual, or remote microphone activation to best suit the style of conversation, from casual discussions to formal proceedings.
In Handsfree Mode, each conference unit evaluates the level, spectral content, and signal-to-noise ratio of the audio at its microphone to determine when speech is present. The conference unit sends a “Request to Speak” signal to the MXCW’s Access Point Transceiver (MXCWAPT). Next, the MXCWAPT assigns it a transmission channel and adds its audio to the floor mix. The entire microphone activation process takes a mere 20 milliseconds.
“The audio technology we use in meetings can either stimulate free-flowing discussion or help it adhere to more orderly proceedings,” shared Nalle Magnusson, Product Manager at Shure. “The new Handsfree Mode makes it simple for users to enhance the flow of any discussion, elevating the Microflex Complete Wireless Conference System’s ability to offer audio solutions that ensure meetings stay as natural, or formal, as necessary.”
WHEN: Available now, Handsfree Mode for the MXCW Wireless Conference System is available with firmware version 7.0 or later.
WHY: Handsfree Mode permits free-flowing conversation, easing the dynamics of any meeting. With this new feature, MXCW can pivot immediately between casual discussion or larger more controlled events at a moment’s notice.
Now offering Handsfree Mode along with reliable wireless operation and natural communication, MXCW is quickly becoming a popular choice for virtual, in-person or hybrid format events.
