Shure Microflex MXWANI4 4-Channel Audio Network Interface

The MXWANI4 Audio Network Interface is a 4-channel interface compatible with Microflex® Wireless systems that enables simple, out-of-the-box integration into conference room AV networks. It provides per-channel analog outputs and a versatile 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch for connecting access point transceivers, networked charging stations, and third-party control systems. The MXWANI4 supports Dante™ digital audio networking to transport low-latency audio over Ethernet to networked DSPs and other Dante-enabled devices. With features such as corporate uplink mode, PoE support, and remote configuration via software, it serves as a central hub for routing and distributing Microflex Wireless audio in installed AV environments.

• Analog connections: 4 block connector channel outputs, with 1 block connector inputs
• Four port gigabit switch: Optimized port configurations for connection to the Access Point Transceiver and Networked
  Charging Stations, third party control systems, and corporate networks
• Ethernet connectivity: Send audio and control signals over long cable runs of up to 300 feet or anywhere over a corporate
  network
• Power over Ethernet: Port 1 of the rear panel switch supplies power over Ethernet to the Access Point Transceiver for
  simplified installation
• Corporate uplink mode: Link to the corporate network for remote control of system settings while keeping audio off the
  network for security and to reduce bandwidth
• Front panel controls: Mute or solo channels and set input/output levels easily from the front panel
• PC/Mac software control: Access the Microflex Wireless Control Software from a networked computer for input/output
  levels and port configuration
• Dante™ and AES67 networking: Transports low latency digital audio received from wireless microphones over Ethernet to
  any other Dante-equipped device
• Headphone output: Solo audio signal on any channel
