Loudspeaker Dante Channels

The loudspeaker has 2 Dante input channels and 1 Dante output channel.

Using the Dante Inputs
The 2 Dante input channels are summed and sent to the loudspeaker’s output. These input channels are useful if you need to send a far-end signal and program audio to the loudspeaker.

Using the Dante Output
The Dante output is useful if you need to send the loudspeaker’s signal to another loudspeaker or to an AEC reference chan-nel. There are 2 processing options for Dante output signal:

Pre-DSP
Sends a pre-DSP signal to the Dante output (DSP is still applied to loudspeaker output). Use this option to send the signal to another loudspeaker. This option prevents DSP blocks from stacking on top of each other.

Post-DSP
Sends a post-DSP signal to the Dante output. Use this option to send the loudspeaker’s signal to an AEC reference channel on an MXA910.

Routing Signals to the Loudspeaker

To route audio to the loudspeakers, you can use Shure Designer software or Dante Controller software.

1. In Designer, create a room that has all loudspeakers and any Dante audio sources.
   Shure’s P300 or ANI processors are easy ways to manage Dante signals from many sources.

2. Go to Routing. Drag and drop from the audio source output to the loudspeaker input to create Dante routes. You can al-so use Designer’s Optimize workflow.
   If you’re sending a signal from one loudspeaker to another, use a pre-DSP signal.

Routing Signals to Multiple Loudspeakers

In rooms with multiple loudspeakers installed, you can route a signal from one loudspeaker to another using the Dante output channel, or you can route the signal to each loudspeaker individually.

Routing to Each Loudspeaker Individually

Use this method when:

• Signal comes from device with Brooklyn II chip, such as a P300 or
• Signal comes from device with Ultimo chip transmitting in multicast
  Learn more about Dante flows in our FAQs or from Audinate.
  If you’re using a Shure P300 or other devices with high unicast Dante flow limits, route a signal to each loudspeaker individual-ly using Designer or Dante Controller.

Routing Signals from Loudspeaker to Loudspeaker

Use this method when:

• Signal comes from device with Ultimo chip transmitting in unicast, such as Shure ANI
  Learn more about Dante flows in our FAQs or from Audinate.

• If you encounter unicast Dante flow limits, route from one loudspeaker to another using the Dante output channel.

  1. In Designer, put all of the loudspeakers and other devices you want to route to in the same room.
  2. Route the signal to the first loudspeaker.
  3. Open the first loudspeaker’s configuration window in Designer.
  4. Choose Pre-DSP in the Dante output signal menu. This prevents DSP blocks from stacking on top of each other in the signal chain.
  5. Use Designer or Dante Controller to route the signal from the first loudspeaker to the next one. Repeat this process for each additional loudspeaker.

Setting Device Height and Listener Height

To accurately display loudspeaker coverage, set the device height and listener height in Designer.

1. Add the loudspeaker to a room and go to [Your room] > Coverage map.
2. Select the loudspeaker and go to Properties > Position to adjust:
   • X/Y position in location grid
   • Device height
   • Listener height
3. Set the device height and listener height for accurate coverage information. The 3 rings represent -3, -6, and -9 dB at 1  kHz. The rings move as you adjust device height and listener height to show loudspeaker coverage.

DSP Settings

Parametric Equalizer (PEQ)

Maximize the loudspeaker’s audio quality by adjusting the frequency response with the parametric equalizer (PEQ).

Common equalizer applications:

• Improve speech intelligibility
• Reduce room irregularities
• Tune system for even and consistent coverage

4-Band Equalizers

Filter Types:

• Parametric: Attenuates or boosts the signal within a customizable frequency range.
• Low Cut: Rolls off the audio signal below the selected frequency.
• 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.

Frequency
Select the center frequency of the filter to cut/boost..

Gain
Adjusts the level for a specific filter (+/- 18 dB).

Q
Adjusts the range of frequencies affected by the filter. As this value increases, the bandwidth decreases.

Width
Adjusts the range of frequencies affected by the filter. The value is represented in octaves.
Note: The Q and width parameters affect the equalization curve in the same way. The only difference is the way the values are represented.

Delay

• If you’re installing loudspeakers in a large area, you may need to time-align some speakers using delay. This ensures that the signal arrives to all parts of the room at the same time for even coverage.
• MXN5-C delay range: 0-160 ms

Limiter
Use the limiter to prevent output signals from clipping or distorting. To use, enter a dBFS value for the threshold. With the lim-iter enabled, the output signals will not exceed the threshold.
Note: This loudspeaker also has an internal safety limiter to protect the hardware. This limiter only turns on if the output signals reach the loudspeaker’s maxi-mum sound pressure level (SPL).

Signal Generator

• The signal generator plays 4 different signals to help you tune your system and balance sound levels. Dante inputs get by-passed when you use the signal generator. The signal generator is pre-EQ, so you can apply EQ to the signal.

• Gain adjustment at 0 dB is referenced to 76  dB SPL at 1 meter.

• Pink noise
  Equal energy per octave. Use to check levels and to verify coverage in multi- speaker installations.

• White noise
  Equal energy at each frequency. Use to check levels and to verify coverage in multi-speaker installations.

• Sine wave
  Plays a tone at the selected frequency. Use to check levels, assess comb filtering effects, and identify possible standing waves.

• Sweep
  Plays a tone at every frequency that the loudspeaker can reproduce, starting from the lowest frequency and sweeping up to the highest. Use to identify possible mounting deficiencies, such as rattling or buzzing.

Muting the Loudspeaker

The loudspeaker has multiple mute points for different scenarios:

1. Dante Input Mute: Mutes the selected Dante input channel.
2. Device Mute: Mutes the speaker output and the Dante output channel.

Encryption

Encryption operates at the room level, meaning that all devices included in the room must have these settings. Audio is en-crypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES -256), as specified by the US Government National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publication FIPS-197. Encryption is not supported with third-party devices.
To activate encryption:

1. In a room, click (Settings), located in the upper right.
2. Select Audio encryption.
3. Select Enable Encryption.
   The other options allow you to re-key the encryption or disable it if encryption had previously been enabled and you no longer
   want it.
   Important: For encryption to work:

• Encryption must be universally enabled or disabled on all connected Shure devices in the same room.
• AES67 must be disabled in Dante Controller to turn encryption on or off. AES67 encryption is currently not supported.

AES67

• AES67 is a networked audio standard that enables communication between hardware components which use different IP au-dio technologies. This Shure device supports AES67 for increased compatibility within networked systems for live sound, inte-grated installations, and broadcast applications.
• The following information is critical when transmitting or receiving AES67 signals:
  • Update Dante Controller software to the newest available version to ensure the AES67 configuration tab appears.
  • Before turning encryption on or off, you must disable AES67 in Dante Controller.
  • AES67 cannot operate when the transmit and receive devices both support Dante.
    Separate Dante and AES67 flows can operate simultaneously. The total number of flows is determined by the maximum flow limit of the device.

Sending Audio from a Shure Device
All AES67 configuration is managed in Dante Controller software. For more information, refer to the Dante Controller user guide.

1. Open the Shure transmitting device in Dante Controller.
2. Enable AES67.
3. Reboot the Shure device.
4. Create AES67 flows according to the instructions in the Dante Controller user guide.

Receiving Audio from a Device Using a Different Audio Network Protocol
Third-party devices: When the hardware supports SAP, flows are identified in the routing software that the device uses. Oth-erwise, to receive an AES67 flow, the AES67 session ID and IP address are required.
Shure devices: The transmitting device must support SAP. In Dante Controller, a transmit device (appears as an IP address) can be routed like any other Dante device.

Switch and Cable Recommendations for Dante Networking

Switches and cables determine how well your audio network performs. Use high- quality switches and cables to make your au-dio network more reliable.

Network switches should have:

• 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

Ethernet cables should be:

• Cat5e or better
• Shielded
  For more information, see our FAQ about switches to avoid.

Dante Flows for Shure Devices

• Dante flows get created any time you route audio from one Dante device to another. One Dante flow can contain up to 4 audio channels. For example: sending all 5 available channels from an MXA310 to another device uses 2 Dante flows, because 1 flow can contain up to 4 channels.
• Every Dante device has a specific number of transmit flows and receive flows. The number of flows is determined by Dante platform capabilities.
• Unicast and multicast transmission settings also affect the number of Dante flows a device can send or receive. Using multi-cast transmission can help overcome unicast flow limitations.
• Shure devices use different Dante platforms:

IP Ports and Protocols

Shure Control

• *These ports must be open on the PC or control system to access the device through a firewall.
• †These protocols require multicast. Ensure multicast has been correctly configured for your network. See Audinate’s website for information about ports and protocols used by Dante audio.
