1.Power Connector: Unit is energized when the power cord is plugged into a 100±120 Vac (SCM410) or 220±240 Vac (SCM410E) power source. Can be internally modified.Refer to the ªInternal Modificationº section.NOTE: There is no

power On/Off switch on this mixer.

2.DIP Switch: The 4-position DIP switch provides additional functions. Refer to the ªDIP Switch Functionsºsection.

3.Microphone Logic Connector: High density DB-15 male connector provides connection to GATE OUT, MUTE IN, and OVERRIDE IN logic terminals on each channel. Refer

to the ªAdvanced Functionsº sectionNOTE:. THIS IS NOT A VGA MONITOR PORT.

DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONS

4.AUX OUT Phono Connector: Feeds consumer-level audio equipment, such as a tape recorder, VCR, or video camera.

Not affected by MIC/LINE switch.

5.MIC/LINE XLR OUTPUT Connector: Can be set for micro- phone or line-level output via a DIP switch.

6.LINK IN/OUT Connector: Permits multiple SCM410/E, SCM810, SCM800, or AMS8100 mixers to be linked, creat-

ing additional inputs.

7.MIC LEVEL XLR INPUT Connectors: Active balanced mi- crophone-level XLR inputs. For instructions on how to modify the level of these inputs, refer to the ªInternal Modifi-

cationsº section.

The rear panel DIP switches, shown in Figure 3, provide the functions listed in the table below.

Last Mic Lock-On:Keeps the most recently activated micro- phone turned on until another microphone is activated. When defeated, microphones turn off after their default hold time.

XLR Output Level: Sets the level of the XLR output to line or microphone level. Make sure the output level matches the in- put level of the device connected to the SCM410.

NOTE: The output level does not affect the auxiliary output (AUX OUT) level.

Limiter: Activates the output limiter and sets it to a default threshold of +16 dBu (see Internal Modifications for other threshold settings).

12V Phantom Power: When this switch is in the ON position, the SCM410 provides 12Vdc phantom power to each XLR mi- crophone input. This function is particularly useful when using condenser microphones, since most condenser microphones require phantom power.

NOTE: Phantom power does not affect the operation of bal- anced dynamic microphones. They can be connected to the SCM410 in combination with condenser microphones that use phantom power. For instructions on how to disable phantom power by channel, refer to the ªInternal Modificationsº section.

SCM410E, SCM410 specifications

The Shure SCM410 and SCM410E are state-of-the-art automatic microphone mixers designed to enhance audio performance in various professional environments. Known for their reliability and advanced features, these mixers are a popular choice for broadcasters, conferencing systems, and live event productions.

One of the key features of the SCM410 is its Automatic Gain Control (AGC) system, which intelligently adjusts the gain of connected microphones based on their audio levels. This ensures that the output remains consistent, making it ideal for situations where multiple speakers might share the microphone, such as panel discussions or meetings. The SCM410E variant further enhances this functionality with extended connectivity options, catering to more complex audio setups.

Both models incorporate Shure's exclusive IntelliMix technology. IntelliMix employs sophisticated algorithms to minimize interference and eliminate feedback, which is crucial for maintaining intelligibility in crowded sound environments. The mixers automatically manage the microphone levels, activating only those that are in use while suppressing those that are not, which not only enhances audio clarity but also helps in reducing background noise.

The SCM410 features four microphone inputs, allowing operators to connect multiple microphones simultaneously. Users can easily control each input's level, with individual gain adjustments and a master output level control. Additionally, LEDs provide visual feedback on the status of each microphone, indicating when they are active or inactive. The SCM410E goes a step further, offering additional mic input options and enhanced flexibility for integration into larger systems.

Durability is a hallmark of the SCM410 and SCM410E, as they are constructed with high-quality materials, designed to withstand the rigors of professional use. The intuitive interface makes them accessible for both novice users and seasoned sound engineers.

With a phantom power switch for condenser microphones, an easy-to-read, backlit display, and robust connectivity options, the SCM410 and SCM410E are versatile tools for any audio setup. Their ability to automatically mix and control audio levels in real-time ensures that users can deliver presentations, discussions, and performances with clarity and confidence. Whether it’s in a corporate boardroom or a live concert venue, these automatic microphone mixers deliver high-quality sound tailored to the needs of modern audio applications.
