Shure MXA901W-R-PM-1.5-V White Ceiling Array Mic 1.5 in Pole Mount Kit

The Shure MXA901-R delivers conferencing audio from a discreet 13.5-inch round disc only 1.64 inches deep, with 85 MEMS elements, onboard IntelliMix DSP and Dante networking over a single PoE Ethernet cable. Single-Zone Automatic Coverage covers a room up to 20 x 20 feet with nothing to aim or tune, narrows to 10 x 10 feet for smaller rooms, and hands over to up to eight steerable pickup lobes when an integrator wants manual control.

This order code is Shure's factory bundle of the white MXA901W-R array microphone with the A901W-R-PM-1.5IN pole mount kit in matching white, which hangs the array from a 1.5-inch diameter threaded NPT pole. Choose the rigid pole over a suspension drop when the microphone must stay exactly where it was commissioned: it cannot swing, drift or rotate out of alignment with the camera or the seating. The VESA bracket threads onto the pole, four thumb screws lock the microphone in place, and a set screw tightened with the supplied M4 hex key fixes the rotation of the LED status bar.

The white cover and white microphone body suit light-painted open ceilings and architectural spaces where the drop should read as part of the ceiling rather than as equipment. The 1.5-inch NPT pole and its ceiling plate are supplied separately and must include a cable exit; adjustable extension poles with a larger bottom diameter may not fit inside the cover.

Features

• Includes the A901W-R-PM-1.5IN pole mount kit in white for mounting the array on a 1.5-inch threaded NPT pole
• Rigid pole mounting holds the microphone at a fixed height and orientation, unlike a suspended drop
• VESA bracket set screw locks rotation so the mute status LED bar faces the direction you choose
• Four thumb screws secure the microphone to the bracket by hand; M4 hex key supplied
• White pole mount cover conceals the pole termination and matches the white microphone body
• Single-Zone Automatic Coverage picks up the whole room with no setup, and adjusts from 10 x 10 ft (3 x 3 m) up to 20 x 20 ft (6.1 x 6.1 m) to match the seating
• Steerable coverage mode places up to 8 independent pickup lobes when automatic coverage is switched off
• 85 MEMS microphone elements in a next-generation array for natural, directional speech capture
• Onboard IntelliMix DSP: acoustic echo cancellation, noise reduction, automatic mixing, automatic gain control, compressor, delay and 4-band parametric EQ
• Dante and AES67 audio networking over a single Cat 5e or better cable, powered by PoE
• Certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom Rooms, and compatible with leading collaboration platforms
• Standards-based security including 802.1x, secure boot and storage, and AES encryption of control and audio data
• Configurable LED status bar with adjustable color and brightness, plus command strings for third-party camera and room control integration
• Set up and managed with Shure Designer software or the microphone's embedded web application
• UL2043 plenum rated and IP5X dust protected for air-handling spaces
