ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
LOGIC CONNECTION SPECIFICATIONS
The SCM410 logic functions expand the range of installation and con-
trol options. Logic can be used for everything from simple cough switches
to elaborate computer-controlled room systems. (Shure's AMS Update
publication contains additional applications of advanced logic. This publi-
cation is available by contacting the Shure Applications Department.) The
following logic functions are available for each channel:
GATE OUT: Follows channel gating and goes to logic “low” (sinks cur-
rent) when microphone is gated on. 500 mA of current sinking ability is
provided (see Figure 5A).
MUTE IN: Applying logic “low” (from GATE OUT or a switch closure to
logic ground) gates channel off (see Figure 5B). Channel output drops to - ∞.
OVERRIDE IN: Applying logic “low” (from GATE OUT or a switch clo-
sure to logic ground) forces channel on (see Figure 5B). When both Mute
and Override are activated, Mute takes precedence (see Internal Modifi-
cations 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 ex-
ternal 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 6). Pin connections are shown in the
following table.
