Page 14: Automatic Gain Control (Agc)
Shure Incorporated The primary component of the acoustic echo canceller is an adaptive filter. Nonlinear pro cessing supplements the adaptive filter to remove any residual echo caused by acoustic ir regularities or changes in the environment. Use the lowest possible setting that is effective in your room. -
Page 15: Delay
Shure Incorporated Threshold When the audio signal exceeds the threshold value, the level is attenuated to prevent unwanted spikes in the output sig nal. The amount of attenuation is determined by the ratio value. Perform a soundcheck and set the threshold 3-6 dB above average talker levels, so the compressor only attenuates unexpected loud sounds. -

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 23: 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 24 Shure Incorporated Note: If you're connecting a microphone that has a built-in equalizer (such as an MXA310), disable any EQ on the mic and use the P300's EQ instead. 2-Band Equalizers Adjust filter settings by manipulating the icons in the frequency response graph, or by entering numeric values. Disable a filter using the check-box next to the filter.

Page 36: Networking Best Practices
Device IP Configuration This Shure device uses 2 IP addresses: one for Shure control, and one for Dante audio and control. For most installations, the Shure control and Dante audio IP addresses should be in the same subnet range. -
Page 37: Setting Latency
Shure Incorporated For Manual, enter the IP settings. Setting Latency Latency is the amount of time for a signal to travel across the system to the outputs of a device. To account for variances in la tency time between devices and channels, Dante has a predetermined selection of latency settings. When the same setting is selected, it ensures that all Dante devices on the network are in sync. -
Page 38: Ip Ports And Protocols
Packet Bridge Packet bridge enables an external controller to obtain IP information from the control interface of a Shure device. To access the packet bridge, an external controller must send a query packet over unicast UDP* to port 2203 on the Dante interface of the Shure device. -
