④ Dante-enabled Equipment
Dante microphones, such as the Shure Microflex Advance ceiling and table arrays, connect to the network switch and can
be routed through the USB channel on the ANIUSB.
⑤ Control Computer
A computer connected to the network accesses Shure Designer to control the channel levels and processing.
⑥ Network Switch
The network switch provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) to the ANIUSB, while also supporting all other Dante-enabled au-
dio equipment.
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. Refer to the manual for your computer to configure the audio settings.
Adapter Compatibility
This device is compatible with USB-B to USB-C 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.
Routing Audio Channels Through 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 receive 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 transmit 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 through 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.
