Page 6: Step 1: Connect To A Network
To route audio in Designer, create a project and a location. Learn more about both in Designer’s Help section. For this example, we’ll connect an MXA910 ceiling array microphone. The process is the same for any networked Shure micro phone in Designer. -
Page 7: Step 4: Adjust Dsp And Route Signals
Drag and drop the P300 to add it to your location. Add the MXA910 to the same location. Go to Signal flow. This page creates Dante audio routes between Shure devices. Note: To route audio to non-Shure devices, use Dante Controller software. -

Page 11: Hardware Codec System
Shure Incorporated Adapter Compatibility This device is compatible with USBB to USBC adapters. Using an adapter is only recommended for desktop and laptop com puters, as many mobile devices do not support bi-directional audio through USB or lightning ports. Hardware Codec System Connect the hardware codec audio output to the P300 analog input 1. -
Page 12: Mobile Phone System
Shure Incorporated Mobile Phone System In this example, when the phone is plugged in, the built-in microphone and speaker are disabled -- the phone simply carries the call. The MXA310 microphone captures near-end audio, and the loudspeaker delivers audio from the far end of the call. -

Shure Incorporated Select Optimize audio. This process automatically adjusts gain, EQ, automixer, and DSP settings on the microphone and P300 to improve your signal. Listen to your signal and adjust settings as needed. Use the P300 EQ to adjust for the room's acoustic conditions. -
Page 27: Noise Reduction
Shure Incorporated • If connecting to a Shure MXA910, disable the Echo Reduction on the microphone. Training the Acoustic Echo Cancellation Training is the process where the AEC optimizes processing based on the acoustic environment. It only trains when far-end audio is present and near-end talkers are quiet. -

Connect inputs and outputs by selecting the box where they intersect. P300 Default Settings The default configuration enables calling to multiple far ends with near-end Shure microphones. Connections are established for operating hardware codecs, software codecs, and mobile phones simultaneously. - Page 29 Example Scenario: Connecting a Three-Way Call Near-end audio from Dante microphones (Shure MXA 310) and the mobile phone are both routed to the video codec and sent to the far end. The mobile phone is simply carrying the audio from the remote caller -- its built-in microphone and speaker are disabled.

Page 30: Mute Synchronization
Mute status is synchronized in the devices using logic signals or USB connections. To use mute synchronization, enable logic on connected devices using the web application or Shure Designer software. Many Shure devices have logic enabled automatically. -
Page 31: Adjusting Input Levels
Shure Incorporated Adjusting Input levels The Inputs tab controls a channel's gain before it reaches the matrix mixer. However, you should also adjust the source's gain before it reaches the P300. To monitor a source's input level before it reaches the P300: Set metering to Pre-gain in the Settings menu. -
Page 32: Pre- And Post-Gain Metering
Shure Incorporated Pre- and Post-Gain Metering The 2 metering modes allow you to monitor signal levels before and after the gain stages. Input Metering • Pre-gain: Displays the pre-fader signal level. If signals are too low or clipping, adjust them at the source. -
