Shure MXA310 Microflex Advance Table Array Conferencing Microphone (Black)

Overview

The Shure MXA310B is a tabletop conferencing microphone designed to deliver clear and intelligible speech in professional meeting environments. It features four independently steerable coverage zones that can be adjusted in 15-degree increments, allowing precise focus on each participant while minimizing background noise. The microphone connects via a single Ethernet cable that carries Dante or AES67 audio, control data, and Power over Ethernet, simplifying installation and placement without the need for separate power sources.

Equipped with an internal processor, the MXA310B offers automatic mixing, a four-band parametric equalizer, and adjustable gain, reducing the need for external digital signal processing. Its capacitive mute switch with a multicolor LED ring provides intuitive control and clear visual feedback, making it suitable for boardrooms, huddle spaces, and hybrid meeting rooms where consistent audio quality is essential for collaboration.
