Connecting The Aniusb-Matrix To A Computer; Usb Device Type Settings - Shure ANIUSB-Matrix Manual

The network switch provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) to devices that require it.

Connecting the ANIUSB-MATRIX to a Computer

Connect the ANIUSB-MATRIX to a computer with conferencing software using the USB port.
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 ANIUSB­MATRIX as the default device to en­
sure it passes audio every time it is plugged in. Refer to the manual for your computer to configure the audio settings.
Routing Audio Channels to the USB Port
You can route audio to and from the ANIUSB using Dante Controller or Shure Designer software. Use the ANIUSB's matrix
mixer to route Dante and analog channels to the USB port.
Step 1: Dante Controller or Shure Designer
1. Open Dante Controller or Shure Designer and route Dante devices (such as MXA or MXW microphones) to the
ANIUSB's Dante input channels. Name the channels to keep track of devices.
2. If you need to send channels from the ANIUSB to other Dante-enabled devices (such as an amplifier, loudspeaker, or
recording device), route the ANIUSB's Dante output channels to the appropriate devices in Dante Controller.
Note: Shure Designer creates Dante audio routes between Shure devices. To create Dante audio routes with non-Shure Dante devices, use Dante
Controller.
Step 2: Matrix mixer
1. Open the ANIUSB's matrix mixer to route Dante and analog channels to the USB port.
2. Assign the USB Input channel (far-end audio) to the appropriate outputs. If recording a meeting, be sure to route the
near-end microphones and the USB input to the recording device.
Adapter Compatibility
This device is compatible with USB­B to USB­C adapters. Using an adapter is only recommended for desktop and laptop com­
puters, as many mobile devices do not support bi-directional audio through USB or lightning ports.

USB Device Type Settings

When you use a USB-connected codec with a P300 or ANIUSB-MATRIX, you may need to set the USB device type on the
Shure device.
The USB device type setting tells the codec if acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) is needed or not. The codec can then turn on
or turn off its own AEC (if supported).
For example: You have an MXA710 routed to an ANIUSB-MATRIX and want to use the MXA710's AEC. Set the USB device
type to Echo­canceling speakerphone to tell the codec to turn off its AEC.
To change USB device type:
1. In Designer, find the P300 or ANIUSB-MATRIX and go to Settings > General.
2. Choose a USB device type:
◦ Speakerphone: For using the codec's AEC
◦ Echo­canceling speakerphone: For using the Shure device's AEC
3. After changing the USB device type, select your device as the default audio device in the codec's settings.
4. Place a test call to make sure AEC is working properly.
