Audio Network Interface
General Description
The Shure ANI22 Audio Network Interface provides 2 channels of Dante-to-analog and 2
channels of analog-to-Dante conversion. A single interface provides a simple way to
connect analog equipment to the audio network, such as wireless microphones, audio
processors, video codecs, and loudspeaker systems. Available in XLR and block connector
versions, each box uses a single network cable to carry audio and power through Power
over Ethernet (PoE). A browser-based web application controls audio and network settings
from any computer connected to the same network.

9/12/17, 9(22 AMShure Publications | User Guides | ANI22
Page 3 of 35http://pubs.shure.com/guide/ANI22/en-US
Access additional configuration information
Step 1: Connect to a Network
1. Use an Ethernet cable (CAT5e or higher) to connect the ANI22 to a network switch.
Note: The network switch must provide Power over Ethernet (PoE). Make sure to
connect to a PoE port, since many switches do not supply power on all ports.
2. Connect a computer to the network switch with an Ethernet cable
Step 2: Access the Web Application
1. Download and install the Shure Device Discovery application (http://www.shure.com)
2. Open the Shure Device Discovery application
3. Double-click the device to open the web application.
Tip: If setting up multiple Shure devices, use the Identify button in the application to
flash the lights on the device.
Step 3: Connect Devices in Dante Controller Software
1. Download and install Dante Controller Software from http://www.audinate.com
2. Use Dante Controller to create connections with other Dante devices
Note: Refer to the Dante Controller user guide for more information on channel routing (available at
http://www.audinate.com/resources/technical-documentation)
Example: Connecting the ANI22 and Shure MXA310
9/12/17, 9(22 AMShure Publications | User Guides | ANI22
Page 4 of 35http://pubs.shure.com/guide/ANI22/en-US
1. Find the MXA310 in the list of Dante transmitters, and select the plus sign (+) to show
all channels.
2. Find the ANI22 in the list of Dante receivers, and select the plus sign (+) to show all
channels.
3. Check the box where the MXA310 AUTOMIX OUT and the ANI22 DANTE INPUT 1
intersect
Step 4: Configure Audio
1. Connect analog equipment (such as loudspeakers or wireless microphone systems) to
the analog inputs and outputs. Refer to the hardware section in this guide for
information on connections and LED metering.
2. In the ANI22 web application, adjust input and output levels and perform a sound
check. Refer to the help topics in the web application for additional information.

Indicators
Each indicator corresponds to a single channel. Analog and digital
gain adjustments are made through the web application.
If an input channel LED turns red, attenuate the level from the
source device to prevent clipping at the input stage.
If an output channel LED turns red, lower the corresponding
Digital Gain (dB) fader for the Dante channel under the Input
Channels tab. Do not lower the output level (line/aux/mic), as
any clipping indicated on the LED occurs before the final
output level stage.
