ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
CAUTION: Use of Advanced Functions is recommended only for qualified audio technicians.
LOGIC CONNECTION SPECIFICATIONS
The SCM410 logic functions expand the range of installation
and control options. Logic can be used for everything from sim-
ple cough switches to elaborate computer-controlled room
systems. (Shure’s
AMS Update publication contains addition-
al applications of advanced logic. This publication is available
by contacting the Shure Applications Department.) The follow-
ing logic functions are available for each channel:
GATE OUT: Follows channel gating and goes to logic “low”
(sinks current) when microphone is gated on. 500 mA of cur-
rent sinking ability is provided (see Figure 18A).
MUTE IN: Applying logic “low” (from GATE OUT or a switch
closure to logic ground) gates channel off (see Figure 18B).
Channel output drops to -

OVERRIDE IN: Applying logic “low” (from GATE OUT or a switch
closure to logic ground) forces channel on (see Figure 18B).
When both Mute and Override are activated, Mute takes prece-
dence (see
Internal Modifications for Override precedence).
LOGIC GROUND: Logic ground is distinct from audio ground.
Make all logic ground connections to this pin, including power
supply ground of external logic circuitry. To avoid switching clicks,
do not connect logic ground to audio, chassis or rack grounds.
Logic controls are accessed through the high density DB-15
multi-pin connector on the rear panel (Figure 19). Pin connec-
tions are shown in the following table.
