The Shure SCM820-DAN-DB25 Digital IntelliMix Automatic Mixer is an 8-channel digital automatic mixer designed for use in speech applications, including sound reinforcement, broadcasting and audio recording. It uses Intellimix technology to dramatically improve audio quality in any application where multiple microphones are required and to select channels to open to the mix bus, while attenuating other channels. It comes with a DB25 connector with 8 inputs and features a Dante Digital Audio network interface card.
Digital audio is carried over standard Ethernet using shielded Cat5e (or higher) cables. Dante provides low latency, tight clock synchronization, and high Quality-of-Service (QoS) to provide reliable audio transport to a variety of Dante devices. Dante audio can coexist safely on the same network as IT and control data, or can be configured to use a dedicated network.
