    ① Computer The host computer sends and receives audio through conferencing software. All signals pass through the single USB con- nection. You can route Dante sources using Dante Controller or Shure Designer software. Note: Compatible with Mac and PC ② Analog Input Sources Analog sources (such as wireless microphones or any line-level devices) connect to the analog line input.
  • Page 15: Connecting A Usb Device

    The USB port connects the host computer to the entire room audio system, including microphones and loudspeakers. When the ANIUSB-MATRIX is connected for the first time, the computer recognizes it as a USB audio device. You may need to select it as the input/output (recording/playback) device to pass audio. Assign the ANIUSB-MATRIX as the default device to en- sure it passes audio every time it is plugged in.
  • Page 16 Shure Incorporated Adjusting Settings Right-click an input, output, or processing block to access the following options: Per Channel Copy / paste Copy and paste settings between items. For example, set the equalizer curve on the USB output, and then use the same setting for the analog output.

  • Page 21: Matrix Mixer

    Example Scenario Hosting a meeting with a computer: Near-end audio from Dante microphones (Shure MXA 310) and an analog source (Shure wireless microphone system) are both routed to the USB input and sent to the far end. Far-end audio from the computer (USB input in the matrix mixer) can be sent to analog or Dante-enabled amplifiers and loud- speakers.
  • Page 22: Mute Synchronization

    Mute status is synchronized in the devices using logic signals or USB connections. To use mute synchronization, enable logic on connected devices using the web application or Shure Designer software. Many Shure devices have logic enabled automatically.
