Shure MXW1X neXt Wireless Bodypack Microphone/Transmitter with TA4M Connector (1.9 GHz)

The Shure MXW1X/O is a specialized variant of the MXW1 bodypack transmitter, designed for use with miniature lavalier and headset microphones in the Microflex Wireless digital ecosystem. This "Open" or "OEM" version is typically supplied without a permanently attached microphone cable, providing integrators and audio technicians with the flexibility to connect a wide range of third-party or specialty miniature microphones via a standard, locking micro-connector. The bodypack itself is a compact and lightweight unit that houses advanced digital wireless circuitry, a high-quality preamplifier, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It transmits a pristine, low-latency digital audio signal to a compatible MXW access point and receiver network, making it ideal for broadcast, theater, and high-profile presentation applications where discreet microphone placement is critical.

This transmitter offers the full suite of control and monitoring features characteristic of the Microflex Wireless system. Its parameters, including gain and mute, can be adjusted remotely via centralized system software, and it provides real-time telemetry data such as battery level and RF status back to the operator. The robust metal construction ensures durability for daily professional use, while the secure locking connector prevents accidental disconnection of the microphone cable. The inclusion of a rechargeable battery eliminates the cost and waste of disposable batteries and supports all-day operation, with the ability to hot-swap batteries for continuous use in long-format productions like theatrical performances or all-day broadcast events.

The MXW1X/O provides system designers with ultimate flexibility, allowing them to select the perfect miniature microphone for a specific talent or application—whether it's an ultra-discreet lavalier, a ruggedized headset, or a countryman-style ear microphone—while still leveraging the superior audio quality, network control, and reliability of the Microflex Wireless digital platform. It is the transmitter of choice for sophisticated, high-channel-count installations in performing arts centers, broadcast studios, and corporate boardrooms where both audio quality and microphone form factor are meticulously tailored to the production's needs.
