The Shure SCM820-DAN-DB25 is a sophisticated 8-channel digital automatic mixer that leverages advanced audio processing to streamline and enhance multi-microphone conferencing and speech reinforcement systems. At its core is Shure's IntelliMix® algorithm, which automatically manages the gain of multiple microphone channels in real-time, effectively functioning as a virtual audio engineer. The mixer prioritizes the loudest active talker while smoothly attenuating unused or lower-level microphones, significantly reducing background noise, room reverberation, and the potential for feedback. This results in exceptionally clear and natural audio for both in-room participants and remote listeners in teleconferencing or streaming applications.

This specific model features digital audio connectivity via Dante and includes a DB25 analog output connector for compatibility with legacy systems. The Dante network interface allows the SCM820 to be seamlessly integrated into modern Audio-over-IP (AoIP) infrastructures, enabling flexible, software-defined routing and remote control. The DB25 connector provides a convenient, multi-channel analog output for direct connection to recording devices, additional DSP units, or analog mixing consoles. The unit is configured and controlled through an intuitive web-based graphical user interface, accessible from any computer on the same network, where users can set parameters like channel priority, noise gate thresholds, and mixing preferences.

The SCM820-DAN-DB25 is engineered for permanent installation in demanding environments such as corporate boardrooms, council chambers, courtrooms, and distance learning classrooms. It simplifies complex audio setups by reducing the need for a dedicated audio operator while delivering consistently professional results. By intelligently mixing multiple microphones and providing versatile digital and analog outputs, this automatic mixer ensures that every word is captured clearly and efficiently, making it a cornerstone of modern, professional conferencing and installed sound systems.
