Device
1) Device Name
Device names can be customized with up to 31 any characters in length
except ‘=’,’.’ or ‘@’.
2) Push to Dante Name
Overwrites the device and channel names in Dante Controller (DC)
software. Note: Use with caution, as this could break the routing
configuration in DC and cause audio interruptions.
3) Dante Device Name
The name of the device in Dante Controller.
4) Device Serial Number
Unique identification of the mixer. Use the number to register the unit at
shure.com.
5) Firmware
Displays the firmware version of the device.
6) Input Meter Mode
Determines if the channel meters are before (Pre-Fader) or after (Post-
Fader) the channel’s volume knob/fader.
7) Meter Type
Selects the information displayed on the channel input meters on the
Input tab:
• VU+Peak (default): Peaks display as a hash bar; average signal levels
are displayed as a solid bar.
• VU: Displays average audio signals.
• Peak: Displays peak audio signals with a peak hold displayed as a
hash bar.
8) Headphone Mode
Routes audio to the headphone output from one of two stages in the
signal path:
• Pre Fader (default): Post EQ and pre-volume knob/fader.
• Post-Fader: Post EQ and post-volume knob/fader. This is post-limiter
for the mix adjustments.
9) IntelliMix Metering
Changes the GUI Input meters to display IntelliMix attenuation applied in
realtime, as displayed with an orange meter. Channels that gate open will
display more gain than channels that are closed (attenuated) in the mix.
10) Disable Software Meters
When selected, this turns off all metering in the GUI. Disabling meters
helps to reduce network traffic. (This does not affect the hardware
metering.)

mixer or specific functions: all back panel, master controls, channel
controls, and the lockout button on the mixer back panel.

3. Go to the Network panel in the GUI: Preferences > Network
4. Select the Configuration mode. The mixer will reboot once the selection
is confirmed.
