￿Microphone Channel Gain Controls 1–8: Allows adjustment of microphone gain.

￿Input LED 1–8:Lights green when channel is active; lights red at 6 dB below clipping level.

￿Low-Cut Filter 1–8:Recessed screwdriver adjustment provides adjustable low-frequency rolloff (high pass) to reduce undesirable low-frequency signals.

￿High-Frequency Shelving Filter 1–8: Provides level boost or cut in mid/high-frequency region to compensate for off-axis tone coloration, or for cutting high-frequency sibilance.

￿AUX Level Control: Sets the input level for aux-level equipment con- nected to the adjacent 1/4-inch INPUT phone jack or rear-panel 1/4-inch AUX input.

￿Aux INPUT 1/4-inch Phone Jack: Mixes external auxiliary- or line-level sources into output. This out is not automatic. Signal appears at output of all linked mixers.

￿MASTER Level Control: Determines the overall mix level.

￿Output Level Meter: Nine-segment LED meter indicates peak output signal level. Last LED indicates limiter action.

￿PHONES Control and 1/4-inch Phone Jack: Permits monitoring of mixer output through headphones. The PHONES knob controls head- phones output level.

￿POWER LED: Lights green when unit is powered.

power to unit when plugged into a power source: the rocker switch turns the unit on.

￿Microphone Logic: DB-25 male connector interfaces with each channel's GATE OUT, MUTE IN, and OVERRIDE IN logic terminals. See the Suggested Logic Applications section. NOTE: THIS IS NOT AN RS-232 PORT.

￿DIP Switch: The 7-position DIP switch provides setup options for the mixer (see DIP Switches section).

￿LINK IN/OUT Jacks: Allow multiple mixers to be stacked for addi- tional inputs. Up to 50 SCM810 mixers can be linked.

￿LINE OUTPUT Removable Block Connector: Active balanced line-level signal for connection to amplifiers, recorders or other mixers. Output can be modified to microphone level (see Internal Modifications).

￿DIRECT OUT 1/4-inch Phone Jacks: Provides non-gatedaux-level signal from each channel. Direct outs are wired pre-fader and pre-EQ. Can be modified for use as a gated channel output, send/receive insert point, or external speech gate for mixing consoles (see Internal Modifications section).

￿AUX/D.O./D.O. Switch: Located behind the Line Output connector, this switch selects either aux input function or direct output function for channel 8 Direct Out jack. Left switch position is AUX IN; center and right positions are DIRECT OUT.

￿INPUT 1–8 Removable Block Connectors: Active balanced micro- phone- or line-level inputs.

￿Input 1–8 MIC/PHM/LINE Switch: Located behind the removable block connector, this switch selects operation at either micro- phone-level (left), microphone-level with 48 V phantom power (cen- ter), or line-level (right) signals.

SCM810 specifications

The Shure SCM810 is a state-of-the-art automatic mixer designed for audio professionals seeking precision and reliability in various environments such as live events, broadcasting, and recording studios. This mixer is an integral part of speech reinforcement and meeting applications, providing seamless integration of multiple microphones while ensuring clarity and minimizing feedback.

One of the defining features of the SCM810 is its automatic mixing technology. It employs an advanced algorithm that intelligently manages microphone levels. Instead of manually adjusting levels for each microphone, the SCM810 automatically reduces the gain of inactive mics while boosting those in use. This results in improved sound quality and prevents unwanted noise interference, allowing for a professional audio experience.

The SCM810 supports up to eight microphones, making it versatile enough for panel discussions, roundtable meetings, or larger conferences. In addition to its mixing capabilities, the device boasts a unique "automatic gain control" system that maintains consistent audio levels regardless of the number of active microphones. This ensures that the audience receives a balanced sound across the room without sudden volume fluctuations.

Another notable characteristic of the SCM810 is its low noise operation. The mixer features high-quality preamps that reduce self-noise, providing clear audio reproduction. This is particularly important in environments where clarity is paramount, such as in broadcast applications. The device also includes individual channel gain controls, allowing audio engineers to fine-tune levels to suit specific needs.

In terms of connectivity, the SCM810 features balanced XLR inputs and outputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of professional audio equipment. Additionally, it is equipped with a built-in signal processing capability, including a 3-band EQ per channel, which allows for further customization of the audio signal.

Robust and reliable, the Shure SCM810 is built with durability in mind, making it suitable for both permanent installations and portable setups. Its intuitive front-panel controls simplify operation, ensuring that even less experienced users can achieve high-quality audio without extensive training.

In summary, the Shure SCM810 automatic mixer stands out in a crowded market with its advanced automatic mixing algorithms, low noise operation, versatile connectivity, and durable construction. It's an essential tool for anyone requiring dependable, high-fidelity audio control in diverse applications, helping to elevate the audio experience to a professional standard.
