Page 14: Routing To Each Loudspeaker Individually
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. -
Page 15: Setting Device Height And Listener Height
Shure Incorporated In Designer, put all of the loudspeakers and other devices you want to route to in the same room. Route the signal to the first loudspeaker. Open the first loudspeaker's configuration window in Designer. Choose Pre-DSP in the Dante output signal menu. This prevents DSP blocks from stacking on top of each other in the signal chain. -

Page 18: Delay
Shure Incorporated 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. -
Page 19: Encryption
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. -

Page 21: Dante Flows For Shure Devices
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: Shure Devices Using Plat- Unicast Transmit Flow Dante Platform... -
