Redesigned microphones, including a new gooseneck transmitter, offer increased battery life of up to 39 hours of operating time to guarantee all-day use without the need for frequent swap-outs.

The AES-256 encryption algorithm has been adopted as one of the safest forms of network protection and uses a user-configured passphrase on all devices. This built-in security ensures audio content is protected among all Microflex devices in the room, giving both end users and integrators peace of mind. **System Configurations** MXW neXt 4 and neXt 8 offer a choice of four redesigned wireless microphone form factors, each with an added LCD high-resolution matrix display for monitoring battery life, connection quality and more.
