Page 16: Mxa710 Coverage Examples
Shure Incorporated • Ceiling installations: For best coverage, avoid using narrow lobes. • Lobes are bidirectional in some positions because of the microphone's pickup pattern. MXA710 Coverage Examples Use these images to understand how the coverage patterns work in different installations. Always listen to lobes as you move them into position. - Page 17 Shure Incorporated Wall Horizontal (4-foot microphone) 3 lobes 17/37...

Shure Incorporated Sets the level of signal reduction when a channel is not active Hold Time Sets the duration for which the channel remains open after the level drops below the gate threshold Maximum Open Channels Sets the maximum number of simultaneously active channels Priority When selected, this channel gate activates regardless of the number of maximum open channels. -
Page 26: 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 27: Switch And Cable Recommendations For Dante Networking
Network Audio and Shure Control Data MicroflexAdvance devices transport two types of data over the network: Shure Control and Network Audio. Shure Control The Shure Control carries data for the control software operation, firmware updates and 3rd party control systems (AMX, Crestron). Network Audio This network carries both the Dante digital audio and the control data for Dante Controller. -
