Shure SCM810 8-Channel Automatic Mixer

Product Overview

The Shure SCM810 is an 8-channel automatic mixer built for installed sound applications where multiple microphones must be combined cleanly. Using Shure's IntelliMix gating, this rack-mount automatic mixer activates only the microphones being addressed, which reduces the noise, feedback, and comb filtering caused by multiple open microphones. In a single rack space, the SCM810 8-channel automatic mixer suits boardrooms, courtrooms, houses of worship, and other commercial installations that rely on consistent multi-microphone speech.

Product Description

The SCM810 is designed specifically for permanent installed-sound systems, with a single-rack-height chassis that fits installations with limited rack space. Each channel offers active balanced microphone- or line-level input, adjustable EQ, adjustable low-frequency roll-off, and switchable 48V phantom power, giving integrators per-channel control over a range of microphone types. IntelliMix combines three functions to deliver dependable automatic mixing: Noise Adaptive Threshold continuously distinguishes steady background noise from speech and adjusts each channel's activation point; MaxBus ensures a single talker activates only one channel; and Last Mic Lock-On keeps the most recently used microphone open until another is addressed. A peak-responding output limiter, RF-resistant chassis and circuitry, complete logic control of microphone activation, and the ability to link units for up to 400 microphones make the SCM810 a practical core for large multi-microphone installations.

Key Features

• IntelliMix automatic mixing — Activates only the microphones in use to minimize background noise, feedback, and comb filtering from multiple open microphones.
• Noise Adaptive Threshold — Distinguishes constant background noise from changing sound per channel and continuously adjusts the activation threshold.
• MaxBus channel control — Ensures one talker activates only one channel, preventing multiple channels from opening for a single source.
• Last Mic Lock-On — Holds the most recently activated microphone open until another is addressed, preserving natural room ambience.
• Per-channel EQ and roll-off — Adjustable EQ and low-frequency roll-off on each channel let integrators tailor response to the room and microphone.
• 48V phantom power — Switchable phantom power supports condenser microphones common in commercial speech systems.
• Links up to 400 microphones — Multiple SCM810 units can be linked to scale to large multi-microphone installations.
• RF-resistant design — A highly RF-resistant chassis and circuitry support reliable operation in demanding installed environments.
• Single-rack-space chassis — Fits installations with limited rack space and includes an internal power supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does IntelliMix do in the SCM810?
IntelliMix activates only the microphones being addressed using Noise Adaptive Threshold, MaxBus, and Last Mic Lock-On, reducing noise and feedback from multiple open microphones.

How many microphones can the system handle?
A single SCM810 mixes 8 channels, and multiple units can be linked for installations of up to 400 microphones.

Does it provide phantom power for condenser microphones?
Yes. Switchable 48V phantom power is available, along with mic- or line-level balanced inputs per channel.

How much rack space does it require?
The SCM810 uses a single rack space and includes an internal power supply, suiting racks with limited room.
