The Shure ANI4OUT Audio Network Interface is a 4-channel Dante-to-analog audio interface designed to convert digital audio from a Dante™ network into four discrete analog output signals. Built for professional conferencing and installed AV systems, the ANI4OUT provides a convenient way to connect Dante network audio to analog equipment such as amplifiers, powered speakers, mixers, recording devices, and other audio components.
With Dante networking, Power over Ethernet (PoE), browser-based control, per-channel 4-band parametric EQ, and channel summing, the Shure ANI4OUT provides flexible audio routing and output control for modern networked AV systems.
Convert Dante Audio to Analog Outputs
The Shure ANI4OUT converts Dante digital audio from the network into four discrete analog output signals, providing an easy way to integrate traditional analog audio equipment into a Dante-based system.
This makes the ANI4OUT especially useful when a networked audio system needs to feed analog amplifiers, powered loudspeakers, mixers, recording equipment, or other devices that do not have native Dante connectivity.
Four Analog Output Channels
The ANI4OUT provides four analog output channels, allowing multiple Dante audio signals to be routed from the network to connected analog equipment.
Each output channel can be individually configured through the browser-based software interface, providing installers with control over:
-
Mute
-
Digital gain
-
Polarity
-
4-band C/S parametric EQ
This per-channel control provides flexibility when configuring professional conference rooms and installed audio systems.
Dante Channel Summing
The Shure ANI4OUT supports channel summing, allowing multiple Dante signals from the network to be combined and sent through a single analog output.
This can simplify signal routing and provides additional flexibility when multiple network audio sources need to feed the same analog destination.
Dante Audio and PoE Over a Single Ethernet Connection
A single Ethernet connection carries both Dante digital audio and Power over Ethernet (PoE Class 0).
Using PoE allows the ANI4OUT to receive network audio and power through the same Ethernet connection, helping reduce cabling and simplify professional AV installations.
Built-in LEDs provide visual indication of device status and audio signal activity.
Browser-Based Software Control
The ANI4OUT provides browser-based software control for device configuration and individual output channels.
Installers can remotely adjust supported parameters including mute, digital gain, polarity, and 4-band parametric EQ, making it easier to configure and fine-tune the interface as part of a networked audio system.
Third-Party Control Integration
For professionally integrated AV environments, the ANI4OUT supports control strings for third-party preset controllers, including systems from Crestron® and AMX®.
This allows the ANI4OUT to be incorporated into conference rooms, boardrooms, classrooms, and other installations using centralized AV control systems.
Compact 1/3 Rack-Width Design
The Shure ANI4OUT features a compact 1/3 rack-width chassis, making it suitable for installations where equipment space is limited.
Its compact form factor provides installation flexibility for equipment racks, conference room furniture, under-table locations, and systems using multiple network interfaces.
ANI4OUT-XLR and ANI4OUT-BLOCK Versions
The Shure ANI4OUT is available with different analog connection options to accommodate various installation requirements:
-
ANI4OUT-XLR – Standard XLR connection version
-
ANI4OUT-BLOCK – Block connector version
The BLOCK version also includes a chassis ground screw for a common chassis ground connection.
