Shure MXW neXt 4 & neXt 8

MXW neXt 4 & neXt 8 are flexible wireless collaboration systems designed for modern corporate and educational environments. Each system combines a networked access point transceiver with onboard IntelliMix DSP, networked charging stations and a choice of handheld, bodypack, boundary and gooseneck transmitters. This all-in-one approach reduces external hardware, speeds up deployment and keeps rooms clean and cable-light. 

The 1.9 GHz DECT wireless link delivers stable, wide-band audio with AES-256 encryption for protected meetings. IntelliMix DSP in the access point handles automatic mixing, echo cancellation and noise reduction, so local and remote participants hear a consistent, intelligible signal without extra processors. USB-C, Dante/AES67 and analog outputs make it easy to connect to room PCs, videobars, DSPs and loudspeaker systems. 

Transmitters link automatically when docked in the networked chargers, and smart lithium-ion batteries provide up to 39 hours of runtime for handheld and gooseneck units, or up to 19 hours for bodypack and boundary mics — ideal for multi-day trainings and back-to-back meetings. Charge status and RF/audio performance can be monitored in real time via Shure Designer and ShureCloud, supporting campus-wide rollouts and remote support.
