SHURE Mic

When this object type is selected from the Audio Object Toolbar, a SHURE Mic Initialization dialog window is displayed. Please also review the SHURE Mic Networking Considerations.

Name	Description
Microphone Model	Selects which SHURE microphone model will be associated to the block. The SHURE MXA310 and MXA910 are supported.
Microphone Channel Count	Mixed Output - Provides a single output node which contains a mix of all lobes. Lobe Output - An output node per lobe. Mixed and Lobe Output - Provides a mix output of all lobes, as well as an output per lobe.
Number of Lobes	Determines the number of channels in the block. If the MXA310 is selected a maximum of 4 outputs can be selected. If the MXA910 is selected up to 8 outputs can be selected.
Network	Allows the required Media Network Setup to be specified.
Equipment Type	Defines the type of hardware this mic input will be allocated to.
Fault when Inactive	If enabled, missing microphone channels or flows expected by this block will present a fault in the Tesira system.    If disabled, microphone channels or flows expected by this block will not present a fault or log message in the Tesira system.

DSP Properties

Name	Description	Range
Show Channel	Displays information and settings specific to the selected channel.
Allocated Unit	Assigns the component (DSP block) to a particular unit in the system.
Fixed in Unit	Prevents the compiler from assigning the unit elsewhere.
Delay EQ Group	Aligns the timing synchronization for the blocks within the chosen group. See Delay Equalization for more details.
Instance Tag	Allows a unique custom name to be used instead of the default Instance Tag.
Device I/O	Displays the physical I/O channel(s) on the Tesira device that this block has been assigned.
Muted	Turns the input signal on/off. Mutes or unmutes the signal.	True or False
Level	Adjusts the relative input volume.	-100 to +12
Level Min	Minimum on controllable range.	-100
Level Max	Maximum on controllable range.	12
Inverted	Adjusts the polarity of the input signal.	True or False
Channel Name	User settable to pick the channel name. This is described at the top of the Dante Input and Dante Output pages.
Microphone Model	Allows selection of appropriate SHURE model.
Fault when Inactive	If enabled, missing Dante channels or flows expected by this block will present a fault in the Tesira system. If disabled, Dante channels or flows expected by this block will not present a fault or log message in the Tesira system.	True or False

IP Address specification dialog of Management Interface (opened via the icon). The IP specified here is used to launch the SHURE web configuration utility in the default web browser.

Channel Indicators and Controls

Name	Description	Range
Peak	A software indicator that flashes when the input signal is within 3dB of clipping.
Mute	Turns the input signal on/off.	On or Off
Level	Adjusts the relative input volume.	-100 to +12
Invert	Adjusts the polarity of the input signal.	0° or 180°
Device Name	The Hostname of the transmitting device. Is read only in the Tesira a Interface. Must be unique. Can be changed via Dante Controller software.
Channel Name	Allows an individual Dante name of each channel. Can be changed offline in the property sheet.
Launch Management Web GUI..	Will launch the default browser pointed to the SHURE mic’s control IP address. The IP address of the SHURE mic can be specified using the icon. If no IP address has been entered previously and the Launch Management Web GUI.. button is selected, a dialog prompting for the SHURE control IP address will be presented. Once an IP is specified it remains persistent until modified using the settings icon.

Dante Channel Naming Conventions

Initially all channels will be given names in the form <Instance Tag>_Lobe<channel number> or <Instance Tag>_Mix<channel number>, where Instance Tag is the default value when the block is created and channel number is within the block, starting with 1. The Lobe channels are between 1 and 8, depending on the number of lobes selected at the time of block creation. Also the Mix output will be shown if the option was selected at the time of block creation.

All Dante names and labels are up to 31 characters in length. Name and label comparisons are case-insensitive; “Guitar” and “guitar” are treated as the same label. Unicode and non-roman characters are not supported.

Device names should follow Domain Name System (DNS) hostname rules. Legal characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and '-' (dash or hyphen). Device names should follow Domain Name System (DNS) hostname rules. Legal characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and '-' (dash or hyphen). Device names must begin with A-Z (or a-z).

Channel labels may use any character except '=' (equals), '.' (full stop or period), '@' (at), \, < and >. Channel labels must be unique on a device. Channel labels do not need to be unique on the network as they are always qualified by device (channel@device).
