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

The Shure ANI4IN-BLOCK is a four channel Dante audio network interface that lets you bring up to four analog microphones or line level sources into a Dante system through convenient Block input connectors. With a single Ethernet cable, the unit carries both audio and Power over Ethernet, so there is no separate power supply to hide in a rack or under a table.

Each input can be adjusted from any standard web browser, giving you hands-on control of preamp gain, phantom power, digital gain, polarity, mute, and a flexible four band parametric EQ. If you need to combine sources before they hit the network, the built-in channel summing feature lets you fold multiple inputs into one Dante transmit channel, saving network bandwidth and simplifying routing.

Installers will appreciate the straightforward integration with control platforms from companies such as Crestron and AMX, along with clear LED indicators that show device status and signal presence at a glance. A chassis ground screw is provided to tie the unit into a shared grounding scheme, an important detail in large permanent installations.

Whether you are outfitting a corporate conference room, a university lecture hall, a house of worship, or a broadcast studio, the ANI4IN-BLOCK makes it easy to add legacy analog gear to a modern Dante network while keeping cabling and configuration time to a minimum.
