4. Check the audio routes and settings to make sure they fit your needs. You might need to:
◦ Delete unnecessary routes.
◦ Verify that AEC reference signals are correctly routed.
◦ Fine-tune DSP blocks as needed.
You can also route audio manually in Designer outside of the Optimize workflow, or use Dante Controller.
These templates are designed and tested to fit most common installations, but you can adjust lobe position and width
as needed.
2. Listen to each of your microphone's channels and adjust the lobe position, width, and gain as needed. The solid line in
each lobe shows where pickup is the strongest. The lobe's edge is -6 dB down from the solid line.
After you have coverage set up, you can send audio from the ANIUSB-MATRIX to other Dante devices or analog sources.

Adjusting Levels
Gain levels on MicroflexAdvance microphones must be set for each saved coverage preset to ensure an optimized gain struc
ture for all seating scenarios. Always adjust the levels before making any changes to automix settings to ensure the best per
formance.
1. Perform a level check for each coverage area, using a typical speech volume. Adjust the faders so the meters are
peaking at approximately -20 dBFS.
2. Adjust the equalizer settings to optimize speech intelligibility and minimize noise (such as low-frequency rumble caused
by HVAC systems).
3. If equalizer settings cause a significant increase or decrease in levels, make any necessary level adjustments accord
ing to step 1.
To adjust, go to Channels. These faders affect a channel's gain before it reaches the automixer and therefore affect the
automixer's gating decision. Boosting the gain here will make the lobe more sensitive to sound sources and more likely to
gate on. Lowering gain here makes the lobe less sensitive and less likely to gate on. If you're only using direct outputs for
each channel without the automixer, you only need to use these faders.
To adjust, go to Configuration > IntelliMix. These faders adjust a channel's gain after the lobe has gated on. Ad
justing the gain here will not affect the automixer's gating decision. Only use these faders to adjust the gain of a talker after
you are satisfied with the automixer's gating behavior.
Installation Guide
Choosing Where to Install the MXA710
The MXA710 is an extremely versatile microphone. You can install it in many places in a conference room and easily get good
coverage for all talkers.
MXA710-2FT MXA710-4FT
• Before installing, open the microphone's coverage map in Designer. Look at the 4 device installation templates to under
stand how the lobes behave when you move them around and use different widths. Lobes also have Autofocus technolo
gy, which fine-tunes each lobe position in real time, even if meeting participants lean back or stand up. Templates are
available for:
◦ Wall horizontal
◦ Wall vertical
◦ Ceiling

IntelliMix DSP
This device contains IntelliMix digital signal processing blocks that can be applied to the automix channel output. The DSP
blocks include:
To access the DSP blocks, select the IntelliMix tab. When enabled, each DSP block will be colored.
Selecting Bypass IntelliMix will bypass the following DSP blocks: AEC, AGC, noise reduction, compressor, and delay.
AEC Settings
Reference Meter
Use the reference meter to visually verify the reference signal is present. The reference signal should not be clipping.
ERLE
21/38
Shure Incorporated
Echo return loss enhancement (ERLE) displays the dB level of signal reduction (the amount of echo being removed). If the
reference source is connected properly, the ERLE meter activity generally corresponds to the reference meter.
Reference
Indicates which channel is serving as the far end reference signal.
Non-Linear Processing
The primary component of the acoustic echo canceller is an adaptive filter. Non-linear processing supplements the adaptive
filter to remove any residual echo caused by acoustic irregularities or changes in the environment. Use the lowest possible
setting that is effective in your room.
Low: Use in rooms with controlled acoustics and minimal echoes. This setting provides the most natural sound for full du
plex.
Medium: Use in typical rooms as a starting point. If you hear echo artifacts, try using the high setting.
High: Use to provide the strongest echo reduction in rooms with bad acoustics, or in situations where the echo path fre
quently changes.
Noise Reduction
Noise reduction significantly reduces the amount of background noise in your signal caused by projectors, HVAC systems, or
other environmental sources. It is a dynamic processor, which calculates the noise floor in the room and removes noise
throughout the entire spectrum with maximum transparency.
Settings
The noise reduction setting (low, medium, or high) represents the amount of reduction in dB. Use the lowest possible setting
that effectively lowers noise in the room.
Use -37 dBFS as a starting point to ensure adequate headroom, and adjust if necessary. This represents the RMS (aver
age) level, which is different from setting the input fader according to peak levels to avoid clipping.
Tip: Use the boost/cut meter to monitor the amount of gain added or subtracted from the signal. If this meter is always reach
ing the maximum boost or cut level, consider adjusting the input fader so the signal is closer to the target level.
22/38
Shure Incorporated
Delay
Use delay to synchronize audio and video. When a video system introduces latency (where you hear someone speak, and
their mouth moves later), add delay to align audio and video.
Delay is measured in milliseconds. If there is a significant difference between audio and video, start by using larger intervals of
delay time (500-1000 ms). When the audio and video are slightly out of sync, use smaller intervals to fine-tune.
Compressor
Use the compressor to control the dynamic range of the selected signal.
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.
Ratio
The ratio controls how much the signal is attenuated when it exceeds the threshold value. Higher ratios provide stronger
attenuation. A lower ratio of 2:1 means that for every 2 dB the signal exceeds the threshold, the output signal will only ex
ceed the threshold by 1 dB. A higher ratio of 10:1 means a loud sound that exceeds the threshold by 10 dB will only ex
ceed the threshold by 1 dB, effectively reducing the signal by 9 dB.
Automix
Automix Settings
Leave Last Mic On
Keeps the most recently used microphone channel active. The purpose of this feature is to keep natural room sound in the
signal so that meeting participants on the far end know the audio signal has not been interrupted.
Gating Sensitivity
Changes the threshold of the level at which the gate is opened
Off Attenuation
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
Priority
When selected, this channel gate activates regardless of the number of maximum open channels.
Always On

Shure Incorporated
Send to Mix
When selected, sends the channel to the automix channel.
Solo
Mutes all of the other channels
Automix Modes
Gating
Gating mode delivers fast-acting, seamless channel gating and consistent perceived ambient sound levels. The off attenuation
setting is applied to all inactive channels, regardless of the number of active channels.
Gain Sharing
Gain sharing mode dynamically balances system gain between open and closed channels. The system gain remains consis
tent by distributing gain across channels to equal one open channel. The scaled gain structure helps to reduce noise when
there is a high channel count. When fewer channels are used, the off attenuation setting is lower and provides transparent gat
ing.
Manual
Manual mode sums all active tracks and sends the summed signal over a single Dante output. This provides the option to route
an individual signal for reinforcement or recording, without enabling automixing. The settings from the faders in the standard
monitoring view apply to the summed output.
Automix Channel
This channel automatically mixes the audio from all selected channels to deliver a convenient, single output. To adjust the au
tomix channel settings, select the IntelliMix tab. All IntelliMix DSP blocks can be applied to the automix channel.
To use the automix channel, do the following:
1. Send to Mix is automatically selected (blue) for all channels. To exclude channels from the automix channel and treat
them as individual direct outputs, deselect Send to Mix (gray).
2. Route the automix channel in Dante™ Controller to the desired output.
Mute Sync
Mute sync ensures that all connected devices in a conferencing system mute or unmute at the same time and at the correct
point in the signal path. Mute status is synchronized in the devices using logic signals or USB connections.
To use mute sync, make sure logic is enabled on all devices.
24/38
Shure Incorporated
Designer's Optimize workflow configures all necessary mute sync settings for you.
Compatible Shure logic devices:
To use mute sync, route the microphone’s signal to a processor that has logic turned on (P300, ANIUSBMATRIX, or IntelliMix
Room software). Microphones always have logic turned on.
For help with specific mute sync implementations, see our FAQs.
Parametric Equalizer
Maximize audio quality by adjusting the frequency response with the parametric equalizer.
Common equalizer applications:
Only the first and last band have selectable filter types.
Parametric: Attenuates or boosts the signal within a customizable frequency range
Low Cut: Rolls off the audio signal below the selected frequency
Filter Type
Low Shelf: Attenuates or boosts the audio signal below the selected frequency
High Cut: Rolls off the audio signal above the selected frequency
High Shelf: Attenuates or boosts the audio signal above the selected frequency

Shure Incorporated
Export Choose a channel to save the PEQ setting, and select Export to file.
Import Choose a channel to load the PEQ setting, and select Import from file.
Equalizer Applications
Conferencing room acoustics vary based on room size, shape, and construction materials. Use the guidelines in following ta
ble.
HVAC noise reduction Add a low cut filter to attenuate frequencies below 200 Hz
EQ Contour
Use the builtin equalizer contour to quickly apply EQ changes to all channels. The EQ contour is separate from the perchan
nel EQ settings. Applying both the EQ contour and per-channel EQ has a cumulative effect, meaning that the EQ changes
stack on top of each other.
To use, open the microphone in Designer and click EQ contour to turn it on or off.
Best Practices
• Listen to and test your system as you make EQ changes, and make sure they work for your specific room.
27/38
Shure Incorporated
• When using with a P300 audio conferencing processor, turn off the microphone's channel EQ and EQ contours. Use the
P300 to make EQ adjustments.
• Always use a "star" network topology by connecting each device directly to the switch or router.
• Connect all Shure networked devices to the same network and set to the same subnet.
• Allow all Shure software through the firewall on your computer.
• Use only 1 DHCP server per network. Disable DHCP addressing on additional servers.
• Power on the switch and DHCP server before powering on the Shure devices.
• To expand the network, use multiple switches in a star topology.
• All devices must be at the same firmware revision level.
• Gigabit ports. 10/100 switches may work on small networks, but gigabit switches perform better.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) or PoE+ ports for any devices that require power
• Management features to provide information about port speed, error counters, and bandwidth used
• Ability to switch off Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). EEE (also known as "Green Ethernet") may cause audio dropouts and
problems with clock synchronization.
• Diffserv (DSCP) Quality of Service (QoS) with strict priority and 4 queues
• Cat5e or better
• Shielded
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.
These latency values should be used as a starting point. To determine the exact latency to use for your setup, deploy the set
up, send Dante audio between your devices, and measure the actual latency in your system using Audinate's Dante Controller
software. Then round up to the nearest latency setting available, and use that one.
Use Audinate's Dante Controller software to change latency settings.

• When you add Shure devices to a Dante domain, set the local controller access to Read Write. Otherwise, you won't be
able to access to Dante settings, perform a factory reset, or update device firmware.
• If the device and DDM can't communicate over the network for any reason, you won't be able to control Dante settings,
perform a factory reset, or update device firmware. When the connection is reestablished, the device follows the policy set
for it in the Dante domain.
• If Dante device lock is on, DDM is offline, or the configuration of the device is set to Prevent, some device settings are dis
abled. These include: Dante encryption, MXW association, AD4 Dante browse and Dante cue, and SCM820 linking.
