The operating concept behind the SCM810/E Automatic Mixer is Shure's
proprietary 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 en-
sures that background ambience is always present.
