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. - Page 9 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.
