Shure SCM 268


The most basic of mixers that we use for recording and/or amplified sound at events, The Shure SCM268 has 4 microphone inputs along with 1 (line level, unbalanced, mono) aux audio signal. Condensor mics can be used when 12V phantom power is on.

It has 2 potential outputs; One is a XLR output that can be toggled between Line Level and Mic Level, the other is a RCA aux out. The aux out generally goes to recording device (such as a Marantz PMD660) when a panel discussion needs to be recorded as well as amplified; But is can also be used to send audio to another powered speaker if necessary. Keep in mind that the aux is a unbalanced signal and should not run on a cable of more than 10 feet from the mixer to the powered speaker.

A Master volume knob on the front controls the output of both outputs simultaneously.

Since our Ballroom (SMSU355) has both line level(2 on stage, 2 on west wall) XLR inputs and mic level(2 on stage, 1 on west wall) XLR inputs, the XLR out on this mixer will be able to meet the requirements of the jack you are plugging into.

If you are interested in learning more about this mixer, please consult with Jeff in person, or download the manual here:
