Key Benefits:

  • Increases the clarity and intelligibility of speech
  • Dramatically reduces feedbackSustained howl when a mic hears a loudspeaker already reproducing that mic's sound.Read moreGo to the glossary, reverberation, and comb filtering
  • Automates several rigorous operator functions
  • Minimizes set up time - plug and play
  • Frees up channels on the mixing console

The SCM810 can be used as a turnkey mixing solution in a variety of speech applications:

  • Fixed Audio Installations - houses of worship, schools, conference facilities, legislature, hotels
  • Portable Applications - rentals, A/V carts, portable audio racks
  • Interfaces with Crestron control systems

Automatic mixing is a tremendous problem-solving tool allowing sound system installers to eliminate common problems such as insufficient gain before feedbackSustained howl when a mic hears a loudspeaker already reproducing that mic's sound.Read moreGo to the glossary and muddy speech quality. Shure is the industry leader in automatic mixing with our unique IntelliMix technology. IntelliMix automatically gates microphones on and off to optimize sound quality in conference facilities, houses of worship, governmental institutions, schools, etc.  

Any low-impedance dynamicDynamic mics have a simple, rugged construction and can handle very high sound pressure levels.Read moreGo to the glossary or condenser microphoneCondenser microphones are more sensitive, give a smooth, natural sound and need to be powered.Read moreGo to the glossary (including wireless) can be used with the SCM810. Multiple SCM810 mixers can be linked to other SCM810 mixers, as well as to Shure Models SCM410, and SCM800. 

Each input channel has a two-band equalizer and three logic terminals. The equalizer reduces unwanted low-frequency audio pickup and makes different microphone types-lavaliers, boundary and handheld sound similar. The logic terminals can be used to control external devices. Each mixer is supplied with a power cord, rack-mounting hardware, and a link cable.

The operating concept behind the SCM810 Automatic Mixer is Shure's patented* IntelliMix circuitry. Intellimix delivers seamless automatic mixing by combining three separate functions:

  • Noise Adaptive Threshold: Distinguishes between constant background noise (such as air conditioning) and changing sound (such as speech) for each input channel. It continuously adjusts the activation threshold so that only speech levels louder than the background
    noise activate a channel.
  • MaxBus: Controls the number of channels that may be activated for a single sound source. One talker activates only one channel, even if multiple microphones “hear” that talker.
  • Last Mic Lock-On: Keeps the most recently activated microphone open until another microphone is activated. Without Last Mic Lock-On, a long pause in conversation would cause all microphones to turn off, which would sound as if the audio signal had been lost. Last Mic Lock-On ensures that background ambience is always present.

Features:

  • Fast, noise-free microphone selection, which automatically adjusts to changes in background noise
  • Automatic gain adjustment as additional microphones are activated-NOMA (Number of Open Microphones Attenuated)
  • Last Mic Lock-On circuit maintains ambient sound
  • Adjustable low-frequency roll off and high-frequency shelving for each channel
  • Channel activation and clipping indicators
  • Active balanced microphone-level XLR inputs and an active balanced Mic/Line level XLR output
  • Aux-level input with manual level control
  • Front-panel headphones output with level control
  • Peak-responding output limiter with selectable tresholds and LED indicator
  • Linking capability for up to 400 microphones
