Shure MXN5W-C Networked Ceiling Speaker with Dante (White)

The Shure MXN5W-C is a networked ceiling speaker designed specifically for AV conferencing environments. It combines a built-in amplifier with a two-way driver system to deliver clear, natural speech reproduction, making it ideal for boardrooms, meeting rooms, and other spaces where communication clarity is essential.

This speaker operates using Power over Ethernet (PoE or PoE+), which means it requires only a single Ethernet cable to handle power, audio, and control signals. The 5.25-inch woofer and carefully tuned frequency response from 120 Hz to 20 kHz focus on enhancing speech intelligibility without unnecessary bass or high-frequency distractions. Onboard digital signal processing (DSP) features such as equalization, delay, and limiting allow for precise sound tuning and protection, ensuring consistent audio quality in various room conditions.

Connectivity is straightforward with support for Dante and AES67 audio networking protocols, allowing seamless integration into modern AV systems. The MXN5W-C also offers two Dante inputs and one Dante output with low latency, which helps maintain synchronization across multiple devices. Setup and control are managed through Shure’s Designer and SystemOn software, providing flexible configuration options and remote management capabilities.

Built for in-ceiling installation, the speaker includes a paintable magnetic grille and meets UL 2043 plenum rating standards, making it suitable for commercial ceiling environments. Whether you are outfitting a corporate conference room or a collaborative workspace, the MXN5W-C delivers reliable, high-quality audio that supports clear and effective communication.
