Shure Brothers SCM800 8-channel Microphone Mixer

Product Description

The Shure Brothers SCM800 is an 8-channel automatic microphone mixer designed for professional audio applications where multiple microphones must be managed simultaneously. It accepts up to eight microphone inputs and automatically attenuates inactive channels, reducing background noise and improving overall audio clarity. This unit is AC-powered and is suited for permanent or semi-permanent installation in conference rooms, boardrooms, houses of worship, courtrooms, and broadcast environments. Audio technicians and systems integrators typically handle installation and commissioning of this device.

The SCM800 is used in installations where consistent, hands-free microphone management is required. It is appropriate for speech-reinforcement systems, recording setups, and broadcast production environments where multiple speakers or presenters are active at different times. The automatic mixing function reduces the need for a dedicated operator to manually ride fader levels during live sessions.
