Shure MXW8 Desktop Base Gooseneck Transmitter

The MXW8 is a microflex wireless desktop base transmitter. It accepts 5", 10", and 15" Microflex® Gooseneck Microphones (not included).

Microflex Wireless Transmitters deliver lifelike sound, intelligent wireless performance, advanced rechargeability, and AES 256-bit encryption for secure transmission. Each transmitter offers bi-directional wireless capabilities, enabling return channel audio and real-time remote control and monitoring of all settings, including battery status, plus a 100-foot working range, with an alert that sounds so users know when range is exceeded.

Microflex™ Wireless brings these features to signature boardrooms and AV conferencing environments that require high-quality, low-profile condenser microphones.
