About the Shure MXW6/C Cardioid Boundary Transmitter
The Shure MXW6/C is a sleek, low-profile wireless boundary transmitter that provides focused audio capture for tabletop conferencing and lectern applications within the Microflex Wireless digital ecosystem. Unlike its omnidirectional sibling, this model is equipped with a cardioid condenser capsule, which offers directional pickup that favors sound sources from the front while attenuating noise from the sides and rear. This polar pattern is ideal for isolating the speech of a single presenter at a lectern or for clearly capturing participants seated directly in front of the unit on a conference table, improving gain before feedback and reducing unwanted ambient noise in the room. The transmitter leverages the boundary layer effect by sitting directly on the table surface, enhancing its bass response and sensitivity.
The MXW6/C operates as a fully self-contained wireless unit, transmitting a high-fidelity digital audio signal directly to a compatible MXW access point without any audio cables. It is powered by an internal rechargeable battery that charges when the transmitter is docked in its dedicated charging station. All configuration, including gain adjustment and mute functions, is managed remotely through system software, allowing for centralized control of an entire room's microphones. A subtle LED indicator provides local status feedback. Its discreet, elegant design minimizes visual distraction, making it a sophisticated choice for modern boardrooms, council chambers, and classrooms.
This transmitter exemplifies the move toward intelligent, cable-free installed audio. By combining the acoustic benefits of a boundary microphone with the flexibility and control of digital wireless networking, the MXW6/C delivers professional audio quality with unparalleled installation and management simplicity. It is a key component for creating clean, effective, and scalable conferencing systems that support clear communication without clutter.
