The Shure Audio Network Interface converts 4 channels of Dante™ digital audio into discrete analog signals. Connect to a processing device with analog connections (audio processors, video codecs, and loudspeaker sys­tems, for example) to fully integrate networked audio and analog equipment in a single system. Available in XLR and block connector versions, each box uses a single network cable to receive audio and power through Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Installation and Rack Mounting
Two mounting solutions are available for installing the Audio Network Interface:
CRT1 19" Rack Tray (optional accessory): Supports up to 3 devices; mountable in a rack or under a table Single-unit Mounting Tray (included accessory): Supports a single device for mounting under a table
Securing the Devices
Use the included screws from the mounting hardware kit to secure the Audio Network Interfaces. Audio Network Interfacescan be mounted to face either direction. Insert the screws from the bottom in the appropriate holes, according to the following diagrams:

Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
This device requires PoE to operate. It is compatible with both Class 0 and Class 3 PoE sources.
Power over Ethernet is delivered in one of the following ways:
A network switch that provides PoE
A PoE injector device
Reset
The reset button is located inside a small hole in the front panel. Use a paperclip or other small tool to press the button.
Shure IncorporatedMicroflex Advance ANI4OUT Microflex Advance ANI4OUT
There are two reset functions:
Network reset (press button for 4-8 seconds)

Input: Dante™ Digital Audio
A single network cable delivers 4 channels of audio and Power over Ethernet (PoE). Use Dante™ Controller to route audio channels from the network to the network interface.
Output: Analog (4 XLR or Block Connectors)
Each output sends a discrete audio channel to connect to an analog device.
Setting up the Audio Network
Shure networked conferencing systems are comprised of Microflex Advancemicrophones and network interfaces, which operate entirely on a Dante™ network. Additional hardware, including network switches, computers, loudspeakers, and audio processors are described in the hardware component index.
Shure components shown in this diagram: Microflex Advance Microphones
The MXA910 and MXA310 are equipped with Dante outputs, and connect directly to a network switch.
Audio Network Interfaces
The interfaces are used to connect analog devices such as loudspeakers and analog microphones to the network.
ANI4IN: Converts 4 analog signals (separate XLR and block connector models available) into Dante™ digital audio signals. ANI4OUT:Converts 4 channels of Dante™ audio from the network into analog signals.
