Shure MXWAPT2 Access Point Transceiver, Z10 1920 - 1930 MHz

Exploring the MXWAPT: A Two-Channel Wireless Access Point for Microflex Wireless Microphone Systems

The MXWAPT is a powerful wireless access point that's designed for use with Microflex Wireless microphone systems. It features an automated frequency coordination system that assigns clean frequencies to wireless microphones, and manages two-way wireless transmission of encrypted audio and control signals. The unit is powered via PoE, and Dante digital networked audio is supplied over a single Ethernet cable for quick and easy installation. The included mounting plate and paintable cover ensure that the MXWAPT can be discreetly placed in boardrooms and conference rooms where low visibility is preferred.
