Internal Modifications - Shure SCM810 User Manual

WARNING: All modifications must be performed by qualified service tech-
nicians.
This section describes SCM810 modifications that can be made using sol-
der "jumpers" on the printed circuit board; the pads where jumpers may be
used are placed close together so that a single solder drop functions as a
jumper. Note too that:
1. he only printed circuit board legends used for these modifications are
jumpers (X's) and resistors (R's).
2. Where resistors are to be added, through-holes are present on the
board.
Line-Level Output to Mic-Level Output
Disable Master Level Control
The Master gain control can be disabled so it cannot be tampered with. The
table indicates the resistor value to be used for the desired gain.
Master Section Gain

6 dB
Change Limiter Threshold
All three threshold settings (+16, +8 and +4 dBm) can be changed. To shift
the threshold down by 6 dB, resistor R will be 82 kΩ. To shift the limiter
thresholds up by 6 dB, R will be 330 kΩ.
Local Aux Operation
With linked mixers, the Aux input from a modified mixer does not link.
Direct Out to Post-Fader
A channel's Direct Out phone jacks can be changed from pre- to post-fader.
Direct Out to Post-Fader Send/Return (Insert)
Changes a channel's 1/4-inch Direct Out jack to a post-fader insert point.
Send is tip of phone jack; return is ring. Insert jacks are useful for inserting
line-level signal processors into a channel. For instance, a parametric EQ
or compressor/limiter can be inserted into a channel for additional process-
ing.
Direct Out to Gated Direct Out
This post-fader, post-EQ channel output is gated, but without NOMA. In this
mode, if the Local/Global switch is in "Local", a manual mix of channel in-
puts is present at the Line output. The Off-Attenuation level of the Gated
Direct Out signal is infinite.

3. For individual channel modifications, the first number of the reference
designation refers to its channel number, i.e., R1027 refers to a Chan-
nel 1 resistor, X7216 refers to a Channel 7 jumper, etc. All references
to Channels 1 through 8 in the following paragraphs use Channel 1
jumpers and resistors as reference. Modifications affecting the Master
section are preceded by the number "9" (X901, etc.).
To gain access to the main printed circuit board, remove the 8 Phillips head
screws securing the top cover, and remove the top cover. Most modifica-
tions can be made from the top of the main board.
