Know before you buy
The toroid pattern is specifically designed to capture sound in a donut-shaped area around the microphone while rejecting noise from above and below. This makes it highly effective at picking up voices around a table while minimizing disruptive HVAC or ceiling-mounted projector noise.
No, the MXA310 is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE). A single Ethernet cable handles power, audio, and control data, keeping your conference table setup clean and minimal.
Yes, the microphone features Steerable Coverage technology. You can use the browser-based control software to adjust the pickup area precisely, ensuring you capture voices exactly where you need them without moving the hardware.
The LED light ring is configurable and supports programming-free mute sync, which allows it to integrate with many common conferencing platforms. This provides a clear visual indicator to meeting participants when the microphone is live or muted.
The device provides five total Dante digital output channels. This includes four independent transmit channels for individual coverage areas and one additional channel for the built-in automatic mixer.
The MXA310 uses Dante or AES67 networked audio protocols. You will need a network switch that supports PoE (Class 0) to power the unit and a standard Ethernet connection to integrate it into your existing audio-over-IP infrastructure.
