Clear, reliable audio has become the foundation of effective communication. Whether in a corporate boardroom, classroom, or council chamber, poor sound quality distracts, disrupts, and ultimately diminishes productivity. The challenge for many organizations isn’t a lack of microphones—it’s ensuring consistent, natural pickup across every seat in the room. The Shure MXA920 Ceiling Array Microphone solves that challenge with precision audio technology designed for hybrid work, flexible learning, and complex multi-speaker environments.
The MXA920 captures speech accurately no matter where participants are located. Using advanced beamforming technology, it creates up to eight simultaneous pickup zones that automatically locate and follow active talkers. This ensures every voice is heard clearly without relying on handheld or tabletop microphones, which often clutter spaces or restrict movement.
For AV and IT teams, the built-in intelligence makes configuration and management straightforward. Shure’s Automatic Coverage™ adjusts to how a room is used, while Steerable Coverage™ lets integrators define exact pickup zones—ideal for open boardrooms, U-shaped tables, or training rooms that frequently reconfigure. The result is audio that adapts to the meeting, not the other way around.
Sound quality is enhanced further through IntelliMix® DSP, which adds echo cancellation, noise reduction, and automatic gain control within the microphone itself. This integrated processing minimizes the need for external devices, shortens installation time, and keeps voices consistent even in acoustically challenging spaces.
Another advantage is its ability to integrate with automation and camera systems. The MXA920 provides real-time position data for each active speaker, enabling intelligent camera tracking and improved meeting equity between in-room and remote participants. In larger spaces, the same technology supports voice lift, evenly reinforcing sound across the room without feedback.
For organizations modernizing conference rooms or classrooms, these capabilities translate to simpler installations, fewer visible devices, and a consistent experience across every meeting space. IT teams benefit from network-based setup, remote monitoring, and scalability across multiple rooms.
At BCS Consultants, we help clients unlock the full potential of Shure’s MXA technology through thoughtful system design and integration. Our engineers fine-tune each installation for clarity and coverage, ensuring that microphones, DSP, and conferencing platforms work seamlessly together. The goal is simple: make speech sound natural, reduce the cognitive load of listening, and create spaces where communication feels effortless.
The MXA920 isn’t just a ceiling microphone—it’s an intelligent audio platform built for the way people meet today. With the right integration strategy, it delivers clear, consistent sound that keeps teams connected and conversations flowing naturally.
