Shure ANI4IN 4-Channel Dante Mic/Line Audio Network Interface Unit (XLR Inputs)

The Shure ANI4IN-XLR is a 4-channel Dante audio network interface designed to convert analog microphone or line-level signals into digital Dante format for seamless routing over Ethernet networks. It features four 3-pin XLR inputs, making it easy to connect a variety of professional audio sources such as microphones, mixers, or other analog devices directly into a Dante-enabled system.

This unit offers browser-based control that lets you adjust preamp gain, phantom power, mute, polarity, and digital gain individually for each channel. Additionally, each input includes a 4-band parametric equalizer, allowing precise tonal shaping to suit different environments or audio sources. The ANI4IN-XLR uses a single Ethernet cable to carry both Dante audio and Power over Ethernet (Class 0), simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.

LED indicators provide clear feedback on device status and signal presence, helping with quick setup and troubleshooting. The interface also supports control strings compatible with popular third-party control systems like Crestron and AMX, making it a flexible choice for integration into complex AV setups. This makes the ANI4IN-XLR ideal for conference rooms, houses of worship, broadcast studios, or any professional environment where analog audio sources need to be integrated into a Dante network.
