MXA920 Ceiling Array Microphone, Round

Improvements

• Bug fixes

Known Issues

• The optional ARRAY_HEIGHT_OVERRIDE value sent via command strings must be resent upon power cycle
• If the ARRAY_HEIGHT_OVERRIDE command is used to set a height that is outside the valid range (122-914 cm), the command will not display an error but internally, the value will be rejected from being set
• Acoustic reflections from tables can sometimes be mistaken by the MXA920 as another source/talker location.  The symptom is a second talker location coordinate set in front of and higher than the actual talker.
  • Workaround: Place Coverage Areas to minimize pick-up of table surface reflections
• Channel Names are not set in the initial attempt of ‘push-to-Dante’. Dante interface resets when Device Name is set.
  • Workaround: Channel Names are set on the 2nd attempt
• MXA920 LED does not stay on after a reboot if the light settings are set to Unmute = Blue, Mute = Red. Other light combinations work as expected after reboot.
• When a muted dynamic coverage area is moved when a dedicated coverage area has also been established, the mix output of the MXA920 has low-level audio from outside the dedicated coverage area limits.
  • Workaround: Unmute and Mute the dynamic coverage area after a dynamic coverage area is moved

Important

• Version 1.3.276 is a patch release to fix the root cause of a field issue that had prevented successful bootup on a few units. While the number of reports was extremely low, this update is highly recommended to avoid any potential risk of bootup issues in the future. Note that the prior two versions (1.1.161 and 1.3.220) are now removed from Shure Update Utility and Shure.com firmware archives.
