Shure MXWAPT8=-Z10

Overview

The Shure MXWAPT8=-Z10 is an eight-channel access point transceiver designed for Microflex Wireless systems, serving as a crucial RF bridge that transmits encrypted audio from wireless microphones to Dante-enabled mixers, DSPs, or recorders while managing control data in return. It simplifies installation by using a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable for both power and audio through PoE and native Dante networking. The device mounts discreetly on walls or ceiling tiles with a paintable cover to blend into any environment, making it suitable for professional settings like corporate boardrooms, government chambers, and classrooms.

Key features

• Eight-channel bidirectional transceiver that supports multiple wireless microphones simultaneously for flexible audio setups.
• AES 256-bit encryption ensures secure transmission of audio streams, protecting sensitive communications.
• Dante networking combined with Power over Ethernet (PoE) reduces the need for separate power and analog cables, streamlining installation and maintenance.
• Automated frequency coordination scans the spectrum and selects clear channels to minimize interference and maintain audio quality.
• Selectable RF output power allows optimization of coverage based on room size, enhancing signal reliability.
• Scalable design supports up to thirty-two compatible channels by adding additional access points without altering control workflows.
• Plenum-rated housing with a paintable cover enables clean, code-compliant installations in ceilings or on walls while matching room aesthetics.
• Internal spatial diversity antenna and front-panel diagnostic LEDs provide reliable RF reception and easy monitoring of power, network, and RF status.

Connectivity and compatibility

This transceiver integrates seamlessly into Dante audio networks, allowing direct connection to Dante-enabled mixers, DSPs, and recorders. The use of a single Ethernet cable for both power and data simplifies wiring and reduces clutter, making it compatible with existing network infrastructure that supports PoE. Its design supports expansion by adding more access points, maintaining consistent control across the system without additional complexity.

Installation and setup

The MXWAPT8=-Z10 is designed for straightforward installation, mounting easily on walls or ceiling tiles with the included plate. The paintable cover helps it blend into various environments, while the plenum-rated housing meets building codes for air-handling spaces. Once powered and connected to the network, the unit automatically scans for clear frequencies and adjusts RF output power to suit the room size, minimizing manual configuration and ensuring reliable wireless performance.

Ideal uses and environments

This access point transceiver is well suited for environments that require secure and clear wireless audio transmission, such as corporate boardrooms, government facilities, educational institutions, and conference spaces. Its ability to handle multiple channels and scale up to thirty-two microphones makes it a strong choice for venues that anticipate growth or need flexible audio configurations. The secure AES encryption and reliable frequency management also make it appropriate for sensitive or professional applications where audio integrity is critical.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
