Using Shure Microflex® Advance™ MXA910
Ceiling Array Microphones
Conventional PA systems use
loudspeakers at the front of the room.
The volume is set such that people at
the back can hear speech and music
clearly. This is not always a pleasant
experience for those at the front.
HEAR AND Voice lift systems are much more
sophisticated, distributing the sound
evenly across the audience using
loudspeakers. When a successful
BE HEARD

members and meeting participants are
often completely unaware. They just get
to hear every word clearly.
MEETING ROOMS

just as if they were seated or standing right next to them. Combining
microphones, digital signal processing and mixing, amplifiers and
