MXA902 Integrated Conferencing Ceiling Array
Getting Started
MXA902 Designer Setup
The MXA902 microphone and loudspeaker intelligently covers all talkers inside
the 20 x 20-foot (6.1 x 6.1 m) coverage area. IntelliMix DSP sends a clear
signal for the far end, with AEC, noise reduction, and more on a single
output. The loudspeaker provides high-quality speech reproduction for the
entire 20 x 20-foot (6.1 x 6.1 m) coverage area. After completing this basic
setup process, you should be able to:
- Discover the MXA902 in Designer
- Adjust DSP settings, route audio, and change loudspeaker levels
You will need:
- Cat5e or better Ethernet cable (shielded cable recommended)
- Network switch that provides Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
- Shure Designer software (download at shure.com/designer)
Step 1: Install and Connect
- Install the MXA902 and connect it to a PoE+ port on the network switch using Ethernet cable. If your switch doesn’t supply PoE+, the loudspeaker does not play sound and the error LED flashes.
- Connect the computer running Designer to the same network.
- Open Designer. Check that you’re connected to the correct network in Settings.
- Go to Online devices. To identify devices, click the product icon to flash the lights on a device. Find the MXA902 in the list.
- Check if there are firmware updates available for the MXA902 and install the latest. You can also use Shure Update Utility (download at shure.com/suu).
Step 2: Route Audio and Apply DSP
The easiest way to route audio and apply DSP is with Designer’s optimize
workflow. Optimize routes audio signals, applies DSP settings, turns on mute
synchronization, and enables LED control for connected devices. For this
example, we’ll connect an MXA902 and an ANIUSB-MATRIX.
- In Designer, create a new room. Drag and drop the MXA902 and the ANIUSB-MATRIX to add them to the room.
- Select Optimize. Designer sends the microphone signal to the ANIUSB-MATRIX, sets the MXA902’s loudspeaker as the AEC reference, and makes other DSP changes. You can also route audio manually in Designer or Dante Controller.
- Check the audio routes and settings to make sure they fit your needs.
Step 3: Listen and Adjust
- Connect a computer with videoconferencing software (such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams) installed on it to the ANIUSB-MATRIX’s USB port.
- Open the ANIUSBMATRIX’s matrix mixer in Designer. Make sure that the box where the Dante input and the USB output intersect is checked (this sends the microphone signal to the computer).
- Open the videoconferencing software on the computer connected to the ANIUSB-MATRIX. In the settings, choose the ANIUSB-MATRIX as the speaker and microphone.
- Place a test call with the whole system. Have the far-end caller tell you how the microphone signal sounds and make adjustments as needed:
- ◦ Microphone: [Your room] > MXA902 > IntelliMix
- Loudspeaker: [Your room] > MXA902 > Loudspeaker > Speaker output.
- If needed, move the microphone’s coverage area up to 4 feet (1.2 m) in any direction: [Your room] > Coverage map. You can also listen to the microphone signal directly using a Dante headphone amp to help make adjustments.
Important : Use Designer 4.7.25 or newer to discover the MXA902. Refer to MXA902 Limitations for details about using the MXA902 with Designer 4.7.25 and certain Shure device firmware.

To route audio to and from other Dante devices, use Dante Controller.
- Open Dante Controller and find the MXA902 in the list of transmitters and receivers.
- Find the Dante device you’re sending the MXA902’s microphone signal to in the list of receivers. To make an audio route, check the box where the MXA902’s automix output intersects with the receiver device’s input channel.
- To route far-end audio to the MXA902’s loudspeaker, check the box where the transmitter device’s channel intersects with one of the MXA902’s 2 Dante input channels in the receiver list. The 2 inputs are summed and sent to the loudspeaker (the loudspeaker signal is also set as the AEC reference).
- In your videoconferencing software, make sure to select the correct microphone and loudspeaker sources.
Step 3: Listen and Adjust
- Place a test call with the whole system. Have the far-end caller tell you how the microphone signal sounds and make adjustments in the web application as needed:
- Microphone: MXA902 web application > IntelliMix
- Loudspeaker: MXA902 web application > Loudspeaker > Speaker output.
- If needed, move the microphone’s coverage area up to 4 feet (1.2 m) in any direction: MXA902 web application > Coverage map. You can also listen to the microphone signal directly using a Dante headphone amp to help make adjustments.

How to Update Firmware Using Designer
Applies to Designer 4.2 and newer. Before setting up devices, check for firmware updates using Designer to take advantage of new features and improvements. You can also install firmware using Shure Update Utility for most products.
To update:
- Open Designer. If there’s new firmware that you haven’t downloaded yet, the Designer shows a banner with the number of updates available. Click to download firmware.
- Go to Online devices and find your devices.
- Choose a firmware version for each device from the Available firmware column. Make sure that no one is editing device settings during an update.
- Select the checkbox next to each device you plan to update and click Update firmware. Devices may disappear from Online devices during an update. Don’t close Designer while updating firmware.
MXA902 Coverage
The MXA902 uses Single-Zone Automatic Coverage technology. There is one 20 x 20-foot (6.1 x 6.1 m) coverage area that captures every talker in it with minimal configuration. The MXA902’s integrated loudspeaker provides natural- sounding speech reproduction for the entire coverage area. To access microphone coverage settings:
- Designer: Add the microphone to a room and go to the Coverage map.
- Web application : Go to Coverage.
Any talker in the blue coverage area has microphone coverage. Click and drag to move the coverage area up to 4 feet (1.2 m) in any direction.
The MXA902 provides 1 automated output with IntelliMix DSP for the far end. For most rooms, all you need to do is install the microphone above the coverage area and route the audio signal using Shure Designer software or Dante Controller.
How Much Space Does the MXA902 Cover?
The MXA902’s microphone coverage area is set at 20 x 20 feet (6.1 x 6.1 m). For most rooms, Shure recommends:
- Maximum distance from talker to microphone: 16 feet (4.9 m)
- Maximum mounting height: 10 feet (3 m)
The maximum distance from talker to microphone and maximum mounting height also depend on your room’s acoustics, construction, and materials. Acoustically treated rooms that are less reverberant generally sound better and help improve your microphone signal. The MXA902’s loudspeaker delivers high-quality speech reproduction for the entire 20 x 20-foot (6.1 x 6.1 m) coverage area.
Adjust Microphone and Loudspeaker Levels
To adjust levels, open the MXA902 in Designer or the device web application.
Microphone Levels
To adjust, go to IntelliMix.
- Make a test call with your videoconferencing software.
- Talk in all parts of the coverage area at a normal speech volume and have someone on the far end listen to your signal. Adjust levels as needed. The coverage area gain fader is post-gate.
- Adjust EQ settings as needed. You can use EQ to improve speech intelligibility and control problematic frequencies in a room (such as a low-frequency rumble caused by HVAC systems). You can also make changes to IntelliMix DSP blocks here.
- If needed, listen to the microphone signal directly using a Dante headphone amp or with Dante Virtual Soundcard.
Loudspeaker Levels
To adjust, go to Loudspeaker and use the Speaker output fader.
Make a test call with your videoconferencing software and adjust the
loudspeaker level as needed. If you set a higher loudspeaker level, you may
need to use a higher NLP setting on the AEC block to remove echo.
If needed, use the signal generator to help with EQ adjustments. The signal
generator is pre-EQ.
Mute the MXA902
The MXA902 has multiple mute points for controlling the microphone, the loudspeaker, or both:
- IntelliMix output mute : Mutes the microphone’s Dante output channel
- Dante input mute: Mutes the selected Dante input channel
- Speaker output mute: Mutes the loudspeaker output
- Device mute: Mutes everything (microphone and loudspeaker). This mute button also changes the mute status LED.
Use Designer’s Optimize Workflow
Designer’s optimize workflow speeds up the process of connecting systems with at least 1 microphone and 1 audio processor. Optimize also creates mute control routes in rooms with MXA network mute buttons. When you select Optimize in a room, Designer does the following:
- Creates audio routes and mute control routes Adjusts audio settings
- Turns on mute synchronization
- Enables LED logic control for applicable devices
The settings are optimized for your particular combination of devices. You can customize settings further, but the optimize workflow gives you a good starting point. Optimize works with any device in Designer.
To use the optimized workflow:
- Place all relevant devices in a room.
- Select Optimize. Designer optimizes microphone and DSP settings for your equipment combination.
If you remove or add devices, select Optimize again. After optimizing a room, check and adjust settings to fit your needs. You may need to:
- Delete unnecessary routes.
- Check levels and adjust gain.
- Check that AEC reference signals are correctly routed.
- Fine-tune DSP blocks as needed.
Note : In the Routing view, a dotted line indicates a broken route that will not pass audio.
Possible reasons:
- Devices controlled by Dante Domain Manager (DDM).
- Resolve the issues in DDM. Devices controlled by Dante device lock. Resolve the issues with Dante device lock.
- Devices have mismatched encryption settings. Resolve the issues with encryption settings.
- Devices have mismatched passphrases. Resolve the passphrase issue.
- Devices located on different subnets. Resolve the issue by manually routing devices.

How to Install the MXA902
There are many ways to install the MXA902 to get great coverage in small- to medium-sized meeting rooms.
Installation Best Practices
- Don’t place the microphone behind obstructions.
- Coverage depends on your room’s acoustics, construction, and materials. Take these into consideration when planning.
- For most rooms, Shure recommends 10 feet (3 m) as the maximum mounting height.
Mounting options:
- In a ceiling grid
- With a VESA mounting device
- On NPT pole
- Suspend from ceiling with A900-GM Suspend from ceiling with your own hardware
- On 3/8-inch threaded rod
- Attach to ceiling with A900-CM
Install in a Ceiling Grid
Before you begin:
- Remove the plastic cover from the grille.
- Remove the cardboard piece between the loudspeaker and the back panel.
- If using, install the rubber pads on the corners of the microphone to prevent scratches.
- Verify that your ceiling grid size matches your model variation.
- If using the A910-JB junction box, install it before ceiling installation.
IMPORTANT : Do not install the 60 cm model in a 2-foot (609.6 mm) ceiling grid.
- 1. Make space in the ceiling grid for the array microphone to be installed.
- Route the Ethernet cable above the ceiling grid and through the opening in the ceiling.
- Plug the Ethernet cable into the microphone.
- Attach the safety tether between the building structure and one of the tie-off points on the back of the microphone using braided metal cable or other high-strength wire (not included). This safety measure prevents the microphone from falling in an emergency situation. Make sure there is no tension on the safety tether. Follow any local regulations.
- Install the microphone in the ceiling grid.
Notice
The MXA902S60CM is not designed or intended to be installed within a 24” ceiling grid, which is the standard grid size in North America. Mounting in such a grid in the above-shown configuration is unsafe and may cause damage to the product and/or injury to those below.
Installing the Junction Box Accessory
The A910JB junction box mounts on square ceiling array microphones to connect conduit. There are 3 knockouts on the junction box for attaching conduit. See local regulations to determine if the junction box is necessary.
Note : Install the junction box on the microphone before installing the microphone in the ceiling.
To install:
- Remove the knockout you plan to use on the junction box.
- Remove the 4 screws from the microphone as shown.
- Align the junction box with the screw holes. If possible, plug the network cable into the microphone before securing the junction box.
- Reinstall the 4 screws to secure the junction box to the microphone.
VESA Standardized Mounting
The rear plate has 4 threaded holes for attaching the microphone to a VESA mounting device. The mounting holes follow the VESA MIS-D standard:
- Screw specification: M4 thread (hole depth = 9.15 mm)
- Hole spacing: 100 mm square
The VESA mounting holes are compatible with these Shure accessories:
- A900-PM
- A900-PM-3/8IN
- A900-CM
Suspending from the Ceiling
Suspend the microphone using your own equipment, or with Shure’s A900-GM kit (includes mounting cables and hooks).
To mount using your own equipment, you will need:
- Braided metal cable or high-strength wire
- Hardware to attach cable to ceiling
- Attach the mounting cables to the 12 mm diameter eyelet screws on the microphone.
- Attach the cables to the ceiling using appropriate hardware.
Install on a Ceiling with the A900-CM
Attach array microphones to the ceiling with the A900-CM mounting kit.
Refer to the A900-CM user guide to learn how to install on other ceiling
materials.
Dante Channels
The MXA902 has:
- 2 input channels
- 1 automix output with IntelliMix DSP
The 2 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. The MXA902’s AEC reference is the same signal sent to the integrated loudspeaker and can’t be changed.
IntelliMix DSP
This device contains IntelliMix digital signal processing blocks that can be applied to the microphone’s output. The DSP blocks include:
- Acoustic echo cancellation (AEC)
- Automatic gain control (AGC) Noise reduction
- Compressor
- Delay
To access, go to the IntelliMix tab.
DSP Best Practices
- Apply DSP blocks as needed. Run a test of your system without DSP, and then add processing as needed to fix any issues that you hear in the audio signal.
- Unless you encounter video that lags behind audio, set delay to off.
Acoustic Echo Cancellation
- In AV conferencing, a person may hear their voice echo. This happens when a near-end microphone picks up audio from the room’s loudspeakers and sends it back to the far end as echo.
- Acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) is a DSP algorithm that gets rid of distracting echo in your microphone signal. AEC identifies the farend signal and stops it from being captured by the nearend microphone. During a call, AEC works constantly to optimize
- processing as long as far-end audio is present. AEC is necessary for clear, uninterrupted calls.
- The MXA902 uses the built-in loudspeaker as the AEC reference signal.
Note : If the loudspeaker is off and you still want to use AEC, route the far-end signal you want to cancel to one of the Dante inputs.
AEC Settings
Reference Meter
Use the reference meter to visually verify the reference signal is present.
The reference signal should not be clipping.
ERLE
Echo return loss enhancement (ERLE) displays the dB level of signal
reduction (the amount of echo being removed). The ERLE meter generally
corresponds to the reference meter.
Reference
The MXA902’s reference signal is set to the builtin loudspeaker, which is
the sum of the 2 Dante inputs. When the loudspeaker is on, the reference
signal is post-DSP.
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 duplex.
- 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 frequently changes.
Choose the Right NLP Setting
If far-end callers hear echo, test different NLP settings to find one that
works. In general, it’s best to use the lowest NLP setting that removes echo
from your mic signal.
The level of the MXA902’s loudspeaker can also affect how well the AEC removes
the reference signal from the mic’s signal. Experiment with using a higher NLP
setting when the loudspeaker level is higher.
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.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
- Automatic gain control automatically adjusts channel levels to ensure consistent volume for all talkers in all scenarios. For quieter voices, it increases gain. For louder voices, it attenuates the signal.
- Enable AGC on channels where the distance between the talker and the microphone may vary, or in rooms where many different people will use the conferencing system.
- Automatic gain control happens post-gate (after the automixer) and does not affect when the automixer gates on or off.
Target Level (dBFS)
−37 dBFS as a starting point to ensure adequate headroom and adjust if
necessary. This represents the RMS (average) level, which is different from
setting the input fader according to peak levels to avoid clipping.
Maximum Boost ( dB)
Sets the maximum amount of gain that can be applied
Maximum Cut ( dB)
Sets the maximum attenuation that can be applied
Tip : Use the boost/cut meter (not available on all microphones) to monitor the amount of gain added or subtracted from the signal. If the meter is always reaching the maximum boost or cut level, adjust the input fader so the signal is closer to the target level.
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 signal. 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 exceed the threshold by 1 dB. A higher ratio of 10:1 means a
loud sound that exceeds the threshold by 10 dB will only exceed the threshold
by 1 dB, effectively reducing the signal by 9 dB.
Parametric Equalizer
Maximize audio quality by adjusting the frequency response with the parametric equalizer. Common equalizer applications:
- Improve speech intelligibility
- Reduce noise from HVAC systems or video projectors
- Reduce room irregularities
- Adjust frequency response for reinforcement systems
Setting Filter Parameters
Adjust filter settings by manipulating the icons in the frequency response
graph, or by entering numeric values. Disable a filter using the check-box
next to the filter.
Filter Type
| 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
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

Equalizer Applications
Conferencing room acoustics vary based on room size, shape, and construction materials. Use the guidelines in following table.
EQ Application | Suggested Settings |
---|
Treble boost for improved speech intelligibility
| Add a high shelf filter to boost frequencies greater than 1 kHz by 3-6 dB
HVAC noise reduction| Add a low cut filter to attenuate frequencies
below 200 Hz
Reduce flutter echoes and sibilance
| Identify the specific frequency range that “excites” the room:
1. Set a narrow Q value
2. Increase the gain to between +10 and +15 dB, and then experiment with frequencies between 1 kHz and 6 kHz to pinpoint the range of flutter echoes or sibi lance
3. Reduce the gain at the identified frequency (start be tween -3 and -6 dB) to minimize the unwanted room sound
Reduce hollow, resonant room sound
| Identify the specific frequency range that “excites” the room:
1. Set a narrow Q value
2. Increase the gain to between +10 and +15 dB, and then experiment with frequencies between 300 Hz and 900 Hz to pinpoint the resonant frequency
3. Reduce the gain at the identified frequency (start be tween -3 and -6 dB) to minimize the unwanted room sound
EQ Contour
Use the EQ contour to quickly apply a high-pass filter at 150 Hz to the
microphone’s signal. Select EQ contour to turn it on or off.
Encryption
- Audio is encrypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), as specified by the US Government National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publication FIPS-197. Shure devices that support encryption require a passphrase to make a connection. Encryption is not supported with third-party devices.
- In Designer, you can only enable encryption for all devices in a room in live mode: [Your room] > Settings > Audio encryption.
To activate encryption in the web application:
- Go to Settings > Audio encryption > Enable encryption.
- Enter a passphrase. All devices must use the same passphrase to establish an encrypted connection.
Important : For encryption to work:
- All Shure devices on your network must use encryption.
- Disable AES67 in Dante Controller. AES67 and AES-256 cannot be used at the same time.
Important : Use Designer 4.7.25 or newer to discover the MXA902. Refer to MXA902 Limitations for details about using the MXA902 with Designer 4.7.25 and certain Shure device firmware.
Networking Best Practices
When connecting Shure devices to a network, use the following best practices:
-
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.
Switch and Cable Recommendations for Dante Networking
Switches and cables determine how well your audio network performs. Use highquality switches and cables to make your audio 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.
Device IP Configuration
This Shure device uses 2 IP addresses: one for Shure control, and one for Dante audio and control.
- Shure control
- Carries data for Shure control software, firmware updates, and third-party control systems (such as AMX or Crestron)
- Dante’s audio and control
- Carries Dante digital audio and control data for Dante
- Controller Requires a wired, gigabit Ethernet connection to operate
To access these settings in Designer, go to [Your device] > Settings > IP configuration.
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 latency 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 setup, 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.
Latency Recommendations
Latency Setting | Maximum Number of Switches |
---|---|
0.25 ms | 3 |
0.5 ms (default) | 5 |
1 ms | 10 |
2 ms | 10+ |
QoS (Quality of Service) Settings
QoS settings assign priorities to specific data packets on the network, ensuring reliable audio delivery on larger networks with heavy traffic. This feature is available on most managed network switches. Although not required, assigning QoS settings is recommended.
Note : Coordinate changes with the network administrator to avoid disrupting service.
To assign QoS values, open the switch interface and use the following table to assign Dante -associated queue values.
- Assign the highest possible value (shown as 4 in this example) for time-critical PTP events
- Use descending priority values for each remaining packet.
Dante QoS Priority Values

Digital Audio Networking
Dante digital audio is carried over standard Ethernet and operates using standard internet protocols. Dante provides low latency, tight clock synchronization, and high QualityofService (QoS) to provide reliable audio transport to a variety of Dante devices. Dante audio can coexist safely on the same network as IT and control data, or can be configured to use a dedicated network.
Compatibility with Dante Domain Manager
This device is compatible with Dante Domain Manager software (DDM). DDM is
network management software with user authentication, role-based security,
and auditing features for Dante networks and Dante-enabled products.
Considerations for Shure devices controlled by DDM:
- 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 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’s device lock is on, DDM is offline, or the configuration of the device is set to Prevent, some device settings are disabled. These include Dante encryption, MXW association, AD4 Dante browse and Dante cue, and SCM820 linking.
Refer to Dante Domain Manager’s documentation for more information.
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 multicast transmission can help overcome unicast flow limitations.
Shure devices use different Dante platforms:

AES67
AES67 is a networked audio standard that enables communication between hardware components which use different IP audio technologies. This Shure device supports AES67 for increased compatibility within networked systems for live sound, integrated 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.
Shure Device Supports: | Device 2 Supports: | AES67 Compatibility |
---|---|---|
Dante and AES67 | Dante and AES67 | No. Must use Dante. |
Dante and AES67
| AES67 without Dante. Any other au
dio networking protocol is acceptable.
|
Yes
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.
- Open the Shure transmitting device in Dante Controller.
- Enable AES67.
- Reboot the Shure device.
- 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. Otherwise, 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.
