Shure Digital IntelliMix SCM820 Manual page 14

Use the front panel headphone jack for monitoring audio. By default, the headphones monitor the mix pre-fader/post-EQ
(change to post-fader/post-limiter from GUI > Preferences Tab).
Solo to Headphones
A channel can be soloed to the headphone jack.
Solo Channel
Press a channel knob to solo that channel to the headphones. The other LED rings dim to highlight the soloed channel.
Exit Solo
Press the soloed channel knob or press the Master knob to return the mix to the headphones.
Input Meters
The front panel channel meters can be set to display real-time signal information. Use the front panel mode selection button to
scroll to the desired mode:
Input Signal Level
The channel meter mode (ch. meter) displays real-time audio input signal level for each channel.
IntelliMix Gain
The IntelliMix meter mode (gain and ch. meter illuminated) displays IntelliMix gain operation in real-time across the chan-
nel LEDs. Channels that gate open will display more gain than channels that are closed (attenuated) in the mix.
Output Meters
The output meters indicate the level of each mix before the digital-to-analog conversion. By default, the meter displays average
and peak audio levels. It is good practice to use −18 dBFS on the SCM820 meter as an approximation of 0 VU on an analog
meter.
