Input: Dante Digital Audio
A single network cable delivers 4 channels of audio and Power over Ethernet (PoE). Use Dante Controller to route audio chan
nels 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 Advance microphones and network interfaces, which oper
ate entirely on a Dante network. Additional hardware, including network switches, computers, loudspeakers, and audio proces
sors 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.
This diagram shows the entire signal path through a networked conference system. Signals from the near end and far
end are exchanged through an audio processor connected to a phone system, or through a computer connected to
the internet. Analog microphones connect to the network through the Shure ANI4IN, while loudspeakers connect
through the Shure ANI4OUT.
