University of the Sunshine Coast MXW Case Study

Overview: The University of the Sunshine Coast is one of Australia’s fastest growing universities and recently built a $33 million Learning and Teaching Hub, incorporating the latest Shure Microflex Wireless (MXW) hardware to provide seamless communication for users as they roam throughout the building.

The MXW is up to the Challenge: “The audio signals had to be routed amongst three separate areas within the building,” explained Peter Coman, Managing Director of InDesign Technologies, which designed the audio visual and advanced technology systems. “Even though it was one building, the long distances between areas posed significant problems when transporting the audio signal, so we specified the Shure MXW range of wireless microphones using Dante as the transport protocol.

It ticks all of the boxes for USC and for us, as designers, using MXW was just perfect. It would have been a nightmare to do it any other way.
