ANI4IN

Audio Network Interface

Overview

General Description

The Shure ANI4IN Audio Network Interface converts 4 analog audio channels into independent digital audio channels on a

Dante network. Microphone, auxiliary, and line-level devices are supported, with adjustable gain and +48V phantom power for

each channel. In networked conferencing systems, the Audio Network Interface provides a simple way to connect analog

equipment onto the audio network, such as wireless microphones. The web application controls signal routing and channel set

tings from any computer connected to the same network.

Model Variations

ANI4IN-XLR: Four XLR inputs (balanced audio only)

ANI4IN-BLOCK: Four 6-pin block connector inputs (balanced audio and logic connections)

①Input Signal Clip Indicators

Each indicator corresponds to a single input channel. If the LED turns red, attenuate the level from the source device to

prevent clipping at the input stage. Analog and digital gain adjustments are made through the web application.

LED State Audio Signal Level

Off less than -60 dBFS

Green -59 dBFS to -24 dBFS

Yellow -23 dBFS to -1 dBFS

Red 0 dBFS or more

②Audio and Logic Inputs

Note: Logic connections are only featured on the block connector version

Block Inputs: Each input receives balanced audio and logic signals. Pin assignments are as follows:

Audio +

Audio -

Audio ground

switch Logic Mute (sent from microphone)

led Logic LED (received by microphone)

gnd Logic ground

XLR Inputs: Each input receives a balanced audio signal. Pin assignments are as follows:

LED Status Activity

Off No active signal

Green Device is operating successfully

Red Error has occurred. See event log for details.

⑤Dante Network Port

Connects to a network switch to send Dante audio, while receiving Power over Ethernet (PoE) and data from the control

software. See the Dante and networking section for additional information.

⑥Reset Button

Resets the device settings back to the factory default.

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

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 Interfaces can

be mounted to face either direction. Insert the screws from the bottom in the appropriate holes, according to the following dia

grams:

Shure Incorporated

6/28

Align the holes as shown for securing a single device in the single-unit mounting tray

Align the holes as shown for securing up to 3 devices in the 19" rack tray.

Rack Ear Configuration

A combination of up to 3 Audio Network Interfaces can be mounted in a single 19-inch rack space. The adjustable rack ears

support mounting in a standard equipment rack or underneath a table.

Standard 19" Rack Mount

Align the ears with the mounting holes pointed forward.

Install the 3 screws that hold the ear to the tray as shown.

Shure Incorporated

7/28

Under-Table Mounting

Align the ears with the mounting holes pointed upward.

Install the 3 screws that hold the ear to the tray as shown.

Installing Underneath a Table

Hold the tray in the desired location under a table.

Use a pencil to mark the location of the mounting holes on the table.

Drill 4 holes for the screws. The diameter of the holes in the tray are 7.1 mm.

Shure Incorporated

8/28

Install the components into the tray.

Install with 4 screws to secure the tray underneath the table.

Reset

The reset button is located inside a small hole in the rear panel. Use a paperclip or other small tool to press the button.

There are two hardware reset functions:

Network reset (press button for 4-8 seconds)

Resets all Shure control and audio network IP settings to factory defaults

Full factory reset (press button for longer than 8 seconds)

Restores all network and Designer settings to the factory defaults.

Software Reset Options

To simply revert settings without a complete hardware reset, use one of the following options:

Reboot Device:Power-cycles the device as if it were unplugged from the network. All settings are retained when the device is

rebooted.

Default Settings: To revert audio settings back to the factory configuration (excluding Device Name, IP Settings, and Pass

words), select Load Preset and choose the default settings preset.

Levels and Metering

Adjusting Input Levels

Before you begin, verify that levels from the analog devices with adjustable output levels are operating at nominal levels.

The analog gain adjusts the level of the audio signal before it is converted from analog to digital. It is adjustable in 3 dB incre

ments, with up to 51 dB total gain.

Set the Metering to Pre-fader in the toolbar at the top of the workspace to monitor analog signal levels

Select the analog gain value to open the fader

Match the analog gain setting to the incoming signal level. Use the gain range markers on the fader to apply the appro

priate amount of gain:

Source Level Gain Range

Line (+4 dBu) 0 to +9 dB

Auxiliary (-10 dBV) +9 to +21 dB

Microphone (varies) +21 to +51 dB

The meters should peak between -18 and -9 dB.

Note: Leaving some additional headroom is a recommended to prevent clipping if mobile devices will be plugged into particular channels.

Adjusting Output Levels

Output levels are controlled by the Digital Gain (dB) fader. Always adjust the input gain (analog) before the output gain (digital).

In most cases, setting the analog gain correctly results in an appropriate output level. Sources that have a quiet signal, such as

a microphone with low sensitivity, may need someDigital Gain (dB) applied. If adjustments to the Digital Gain (dB) fader are re

quired, follow these steps:

Set the Metering to Post-fader in the toolbar at the top of the workspace.

Adjust theDigital Gain (dB) fader as needed.

If using summing, use the Digital Gain (dB) faders to mix the channel levels.

Metering Options (Pre-fader and Post-fader)

There are two modes for monitoring, for input and output signals to be monitored separately.

Pre-Fader (Analog Input Level)

Pre-fader metering displays the signal level before it reaches the digital gain fader, so that input signal levels can be optimized

for each channel. Analog gain adjustments affect the meter when set to pre-fader, but the digital gain adjustments do not.

Important: If the incoming signal is adjustable (wireless microphone systems, for example), make sure it is at the nominal level

before adjusting the analog gain on the Audio Network Interface.

Post-Fader (Digital Output Level)

Post-fader metering displays the signal level at the very end of the signal chain, which includes both the analog and digital

gain. Use this setting to meter the levels that are being sent over the Dante network.

Mute Sync

Mute sync ensures that all connected devices in a conferencing system mute or unmute at the same time and at the correct

point in the signal path. Mute status is synchronized in the devices using logic signals or USB connections.

To use mute sync, make sure logic is enabled on all devices.

Designer's Optimize workflow configures all necessary mute sync settings for you.

Compatible Shure logic devices:

P300 (Also mutes supported soft codecs connected by USB)

ANIUSB-MATRIX (Also mutes supported soft codecs connected by USB)

IntelliMix Room

To use mute sync, connect a logic-enabled MX series microphone to an ANI4IN-BLOCK or ANI22-BLOCK.

Note: See microphone guides to learn how to turn on logic on mics.

For help with specific mute sync implementations, see our FAQs.

Signal Flow and Connections

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.
