General Description

The Shure Model SCM410/E is a four-channel automatic microphone mix-
er for use in sound reinforcement, audio recording, and broadcast applica-

tions. 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 handheldsound 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 At-

tenuated)

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
