Maxwell 2 features two separate microphones to offer users additional flexibility.
Boom Mic
The detachable Shure boom microphone is designed to offer maximum voice quality and clarity on Maxwel 2. It features a max SPL of more than 140dB and built-in noise filters that reduce up to an additional 20dB of background sound.
For optimal results, position the boom mic capsule 2 inches from the speaker's face.
The boom mic comes with a foam pop filter preinstalled on the end of the mic capsule which can be easily removed or replaced.
Internal Mic
When the boom mic is unplugged, Maxwell 2 will automatically switch to the internal microphone for communications. This can be used for on-the-go conversations or for users who prefer a lower-profile look to their headset.
Beamforming Array
Maxwell 2 features a multi-mic beamforming array built into the ear cups. These mics help triangulate and narrow down the area of mic pickup to a narrow cone in front of the speaker’s face. This helps eliminate unwanted pickup from external sources.
Disabling the Microphone
Both Maxwell 2 microphones can be disabled by switching the mute switch on the right ear cup to the UP (Mute) position at any time.
