DESCRIPTION

The Shure Model SCM410/E is a four-channel automatic microphone mixer for use in sound reinforcement, audio recording, and broadcast applications. The SCM410 dramatically improves audio quality in any application where multiple microphones are required. Any low-impedance dynamic or condenser microphone (including wireless) can be used with the SCM410. Multiple SCM410 mixers can be linked to other SCM410 mixers, as well as to Shure Models FP410, SCM810, 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.

The SCM410 operates on 100-120 Vac power and the SCM410E operates on 220-240 Vac power. Each mixer is supplied with a power cord, rack-mounting hardware, and a link cable.

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
  • Fits in half-rack space
• Adjustable EQ for each channel

• Active balanced microphone-level XLR inputs and an active balanced Mic/Line level XLR output
• Unbalanced auxiliary-level phono output
• Bi-color channel activation and clipping LEDs
• Peak-responding output limiter with LED indicator
• Peak-responding output level meter

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

The operating concept behind the SCM410 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.

*U.S. Patents 4,658,425 and 5,297,210. IntelliMix is a registered trademark of Shure Incorporated.

*Factory setting.

⑤ MIC/LINE XLR OUTPUT Connector: Can be set for microphone or line-level output via a DIP switch.
6 LINK IN/OUT Connector: Permits multiple SCM410/E, FP410, SCM810, SCM800, or AMS8100 mixers to be linked, creating additional inputs.
7 MIC LEVEL XLR INPUT Connectors: Active balanced microphone-level XLR inputs. For instructions on how to modify the level of these inputs, refer to the "Internal Modifications" Addendum.

Last Mic Lock-On: Keeps the most recently activated microphone 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 input 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 Addendum for other threshold settings).

12V Phantom Power: When this switch is in the ON position, the SCM410 provides 12Vdc phantom power to each XLR microphone 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 balanced 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 "Internal Modifications" Addendum.

LINKING MULTIPLE MIXERS

If more than four inputs are needed, multiple Shure SCM410, FP410, or SCM810 mixers can be linked by connecting the LINK OUT of the first mixer to the LINK IN of the next mixer, and so on. See Figure 2. Leave the LINK IN jack of the first mixer and the LINK OUT jack of the last mixer unconnected.

When properly linked, the mixers will operate as a system. Automatic mixing functions will be shared by all units. All input signals appear at all linked mixer outputs. Each mixer's Master level control only controls its own output. However, actual off-attenuation will increase as more mixers are linked. This reduces excessive noise and reverberation contributed by the increased number of microphones.

IMPORTANT: When using logic terminals on linked mixers, connect the LOGIC GROUND terminals of each unit together.

NOTE: SCM410 link connections are unbalanced. To minimize hum and noise, avoid using longer link cables. Use high quality, shielded cable, and keep them away from sources of magnetic or electrical noise, such as power transformers or

light dimmers. To minimize ground currents, make sure linked mixers are connected to the same AC power mains.

LINKED SCM410 AND SCM810 MIXERS FIGURE 2

1. Adjust each channel level so that its Overload LED flickers only during very loud speech or noise.

2. Adjust the Low-Cut and High-Frequency controls adjacent to each Input Gain control so that the microphones sound similar.

3. Adjust the Master level control for the required output level, as indicated by the output peak meter. The SCM410 is now ready for use.

LIMITER

Output limiters prevent distortion during loud program peaks without affecting normal program levels. This keeps the devices connected to the SCM410 output from becoming overloaded. Increasing individual or Master controls on the SCM410 increases average output and, in turn, the amount of limiting.

The limiter may be turned on via the rear panel DIP switch. The default limiter threshold is +16 dBu. As supplied, the limiter is defeated.

NOTE: Limiter thresholds can be changed from their factory settings. Refer to the "Internal Modifications" Addendum.

EQUALIZER FUNCTIONS

Low Cut Filter (High-Pass)

Low-cut filters are used to reduce unwanted low frequency sounds such as footsteps, motorized traffic, and to control proximity effect. The SCM410 has a one-pole, low-cut (high-pass) filter of 6 dB per octave. The low-cut filter allows all frequencies above its cutoff point to pass through unchanged. Frequencies below the cutoff are attenuated (see Figure 3). The cutoff point is defined as the frequency where the signal has dropped 3 dB relative to the flat, or bandpass, region. Below the cutoff point, the filter exhibits increasingly more attenuation as the frequency diminishes.

High-Frequency Shelving

The fixed-frequency equalizer produces a 6 dB boost or cut at 5 kHz and above (see Figure 4). High-frequency shelving is extremely useful for boosting flat frequency response and tempering sibilant vocal microphones or enhancing the sound of off-axis lavalier microphones.

Measurement Conditions (unless otherwise specified): Line voltage 120 Vac, 60 Hz (SCM410) or 230 Vac, 50 Hz (SCM410E); full gain; 1 kHz, one channel activated; source impedances: Mic 150Ω; terminations: Line/Mic Aux 10 kΩ

CAUTION: Use of Advanced Functions is recommended only for qualified audio technicians.

LOGIC CONNECTION SPECIFICATIONS

The SCM410 logic functions expand the range of installation and control options. Logic can be used for everything from simple cough switches to elaborate computer-controlled room systems. (Shure's AMS Update publication contains additional applications of advanced logic. This publication is available by contacting the Shure Applications Department.) The following logic functions are available for each channel:

GATE OUT: Follows channel gating and goes to logic "low" (sinks current) when microphone is gated on. 500 mA of current sinking ability is provided (see Figure 5A).

MUTE IN: Applying logic "low" (from GATE OUT or a switch closure to logic ground) gates channel off (see Figure 5B). Channel output drops to -∞.

LOGIC EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT DIAGRAM FIGURE 5

OVERRIDE IN: Applying logic "low" (from GATE OUT or a switch closure to logic ground) forces channel on (see Figure 5B). When both Mute and Override are activated, Mute takes precedence (see Internal Modifications Addendum for Override precedence).

LOGIC GROUND: Logic ground is distinct from audio ground. Make all logic ground connections to this pin, including power supply ground of external logic circuitry. To avoid switching clicks, do not connect logic ground to audio, chassis or rack grounds.

Logic controls are accessed through the high density DB-15 multi-pin connector on the rear panel (Figure 6). Pin connections are shown in the following table.

This section contains suggestions on the uses of the SCM410's logic capabilities. Note that uses of these functions are not limited to the listed applications. The user is limited only by imagination and creativity. For additional suggestions and solutions to installation problems, contact the Shure Applications Department.

COUGH BUTTON

The talker can turn off his or her microphone during coughing or private conversations by installing an SPST pushbutton switch between the MUTE IN and Logic Ground pins for each channel to be modified (see Figure 7). When a channel is muted, no audio is passed. (See Dead Zone on MUTE IN Defeat paragraph in the Internal Modifications Addendum for more information on MUTE IN logic.)

COUGH BUTTONS FIGURE 7

CHAIRPERSON-CONTROLLED MUTING

The chairperson can, by activating a switch, silence all other microphones and be heard without interruption. For operation in this mode, connect all the MUTE IN pins together except that of the chairperson's channel, and wire an SPST pushbutton or toggle switch between those MUTE IN and Logic Ground pins (see Figure 8).

An alternative to a switch is to connect the chairperson's GATE OUT to the MUTE IN of other channels. When the chairperson's microphone activates, all other microphones mute.

CHAIRPERSON-CONTROLLED MUTING FIGURE 8

REMOTE CHANNEL-ON INDICATORS

Remote indicators can be used to indicate when a talker's microphone is on. Connect the LEDs and a 5-volt supply to the GATE OUT pins (See Figure 9). To avoid switching clicks in the audio output, do not ground the power supply negative terminal in the audio system or rack ground.

IMPORTANT: If a single cable is used for the microphone audio signal and the LED dc power, separate shielded pairs must be used. Failure to carry the dc power on a shielded pair may result in audible clicking due to capacitive coupling between the dc power lines and microphone lines.

REMOTE CHANNEL-ON INDICATORS FIGURE 9

DISABLING THE GATING FUNCTION (BYPASS)

To keep certain microphones on at all times, wire the desired microphone channel's OVERRIDE IN pins together to the Logic Ground pin. The selected channels now function as they would in a non-automatic mixer (see Figure 10). To perform this modification internally on the mixer, refer to the Shorting Override In to Logic Ground Internally paragraph in the Internal Modifications Addendum.

GATING BYPASS FIGURE 10

INHIBITING GATING FOR UNWANTED SOUNDS

MaxBus attempts to activate only one microphone per sound source. Muting a microphone channel prevents its audio from appearing at the mixer's output. However, the muted microphone still communicates with other mic channels via MaxBus. A sound source picked up by a muted microphone will not activate other microphones.

Sound sources that may cause unwanted microphone channel activation include:

• Heating, ventilation, or air conditioning systems
• A noisy fax machine or printer
• A squeaky door
• A paging system loudspeaker
• An audio teleconferencing return signal loudspeaker

The SCM410 can prevent these and similar sounds from activating microphones as follows:

1. Place one microphone near the unwanted sound source. Connect that microphone's signal to a channel input, -or- connect the unwanted sound source directly into a channel input.
2. Mute that channel using the logic terminal (see Figure 11). To perform this modification internally on the mixer, refer to the Shorting Mute In to Logic Ground Internally paragraph in the Internal Modifications Addendum.
3. Adjust the channel gain control just past the level where unwanted sounds do not activate other microphones in the system. If the channel gain is set too high, the other microphones may not be activated by the desired sounds. If set too low, unwanted sounds will continue to activate other microphones.

INHIBITING GATING FOR UNWANTED SOUNDS FIGURE 11

LOUDSPEAKER MUTING

Some applications require a loudspeaker to be placed near each talker to provide audio reinforcement, or to permit telephone conversation or conference monitoring. Each loudspeaker can cause feedback unless it is automatically switched off when the talker near it speaks. To provide this function, connect the GATE OUT terminal of each channel to a separate loudspeaker muting relay (See Figure 12). Recommended relays are Radio Shack 275-248, Omron G2R-14-DC12 (Digi-Key number Z745-ND), Potter & Brumfield R10-E1Y2-V185 (Newark number 45F106), or equivalent.

NOTE: A diode across each relay coil is required to suppress inductive voltage spikes which may damage the SCM410.

An existing sound system using 24-volt relays can be used with the SCM410 without modification if the relay coil current draw is under 500 mA.

LOUDSPEAKER MUTING FIGURE 12

"FILIBUSTER" MODE

Normally, when several people talk, each microphone gates on so that no speech is missed. In "filibuster" mode, a microphone remains gated on until the talker pauses long enough for that microphone to gate off. No other microphone can gate on until that microphone gates off. This prevents talkers from being interrupted.

To establish filibuster mode, refer to Figure 13 and proceed as follows:

1. Perform the Mute to Inhibit modification as presented in the Internal Modifications Addendum.
2. Connect all the MUTE IN pins together on the modified channels.
3. Connect all the GATE OUT pins together on the modified channels.
4. Connect the GATE OUT pin of one modified channel to the MUTE IN pin of another modified channel.
5. Turn the Last Mic Lock-On switch to OFF.

NOTE: To prevent high-frequency oscillation, do not wire a GATE OUT pin to a MUTE IN pin on the same channel unless the Mute to Inhibit modification has been made.

INHIBIT FUNCTION

For information on the inhibit function, refer to the Internal Modifications Addendum.

REMOTE VOLUME CONTROL

The level of the Aux or Master output can be controlled from an external VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) such as the RU-VCA1 from Radio Design Labs (Tel. [phone], or www.rdlnet.com). To connect a VCA to the SCM410, proceed as follows:

1. Connect the SCM410 Line output to the VCA line input.
2. Connect the VCA line output to the external device.
3. For remote Master level control, set the SCM410 Master control to 5.

DIODE ISOLATION OF LOGIC CONTROLS

Two or more control functions that use the same logic pins can be isolated with diodes, as shown in Figure 14. With this modification, a channel can be muted by an overall group mute switch, or by its own cough button.

DIODE ISOLATION OF LOGIC TERMINALS FIGURE 14

EXTERNAL LOGIC DEVICES

SCM410 logic levels are directly compatible with TTL and 5V CMOS logic families. Mixer logic may be used with 15V CMOS logic if a pull-up resistor is used with each GATE output. See Figure 15.

NOTE: For information on logic gate use, refer to the TTL Cookbook and CMOS Cookbook, both by D. Lancaster, Howard Sams Publishing Co.

DIGITAL CONTROLS OR MICROCOMPUTERS

The SCM410 logic pins can interface with custom-designed digital control circuitry or microcomputers for unlimited possibilities of system control functions.
