Description
Shure Stem Hub Audio Transmitter/Receiver
The Shure Stem Hub Audio Transmitter/Receiver serves as the essential communication center for the Stem Ecosystem. Designed to coordinate multiple Stem endpoints within a room, it ensures synchronized audio routing, seamless device discovery, and reliable collaboration across the entire Stem setup. Whether you’re outfitting a classroom, conference room, or studio, Stem Hub and Stem Hub Express offer flexible connectivity options to match room size, seating arrangements, and deployment timelines.
- Seamless multi-endpoint communication — Stem Hub acts as the brain of the Stem Ecosystem in a room, enabling Stem audio endpoints to exchange status, control signals, and audio routes in real time. This creates a cohesive audio environment where microphones, speakers, and controllers work together without delays, ensuring everyone’s voice is heard clearly and consistently.
- Two variations for flexible deployment — Choose between the full-featured Stem Hub and the compact Stem Hub Express. The Hub is ideal for larger rooms and more endpoints, delivering robust connectivity and advanced routing capabilities. The Hub Express provides a streamlined option for smaller spaces or quick deployments, preserving essential ecosystem communication with a space-saving footprint.
- Optimized for room-level scalability — The Stem Hub orchestrates device pairing, routing, and synchronization across all Stem endpoints in a room. Its scalable architecture supports expanding systems, so you can add more microphones, absorbers, or speakers as your space and collaboration needs grow, all while maintaining low latency and high-fidelity audio.
- Simple setup and management — Integrated with the Shure Stem ecosystem tooling, Stem Hub simplifies device discovery, room configuration, and real-time monitoring. Setup workflows are designed for fast installation by IT staff, AV technicians, or educators, with intuitive controls that minimize downtime and maximize productive use time.
- Reliable build with enterprise-grade design — Built to endure daily use in education, corporate, and production environments, Stem Hub combines durable hardware with secure, stable networking. It supports consistent performance across a range of room configurations and environment conditions, ensuring dependable collaboration when it matters most.

How to install Shure Stem Hub Audio Transmitter/Receiver
- Plan the placement — Identify a central, ventilated location near an uninterruptible power source and a stable network connection. Ensure the hub has clear airflow and is accessible for cable management and routine maintenance. For larger rooms, position the Hub where signal routing to Stem endpoints will be most efficient.
- Connect to power and network — Power the Stem Hub with the provided power supply and connect an Ethernet cable to your organization's wired network. If your environment supports PoE and your Hub variant supports it, you may use PoE for simplified cabling. Verify that the network port is active and the link status indicator on the device shows a healthy connection.
- Integrate Stem endpoints — Power on Stem endpoints (microphones, speakers, controllers) and ensure they are physically connected to the room and accessible on the same network. Use the Stem app or management console to begin device discovery and pairing with the Stem Hub. The system will automatically synchronize audio routing, status, and control signals as devices are added.
- Configure the room in the Stem app — Launch the Stem app on a supported device and create or select the target room. Assign the Stem Hub as the communication center for that room, then add all compatible Stem endpoints. Fine-tune routing and preference settings to optimize coverage, mic pickup, and speaker playback for the space.
- Calibrate and test audio — Run the built-in calibration or auto-setup routine if available. Do a quick test by speaking from typical seating positions and confirming that all participants can hear and be heard clearly. Adjust mic priority, channel routing, and volume levels as needed to achieve balanced sound across the room.
- Establish maintenance practices — Enable firmware updates through the Stem management tools, schedule regular checks for endpoint firmware compatibility, and document room configurations for future changes. Regularly review network performance to prevent latency or dropouts in busy environments.
