Shure ANI22-BLOCK

Overview

The Shure ANI22-BLOCK is an audio network interface designed to connect analog audio equipment with Dante digital audio networks. It converts two analog microphone or line-level signals into Dante streams and can also convert Dante audio back to analog outputs. Supporting 24-bit, 48 kHz audio quality and a dynamic range of 113 dB, it delivers clear and detailed sound while fitting into compact spaces where larger converters are impractical.

Using block connectors for inputs and outputs, the device ensures secure and straightforward connections in professional audio setups. Power and network connectivity come through a single Cat 5e or higher Ethernet cable with Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter. Configuration and monitoring are accessible via any HTML5-compatible browser, eliminating the need for specialized software.

Key features

• Two analog inputs and two analog outputs with block connectors provide reliable and secure connections for professional audio devices
• Seamless integration with Dante networks supports high-quality 24-bit/48 kHz audio sampling for detailed sound reproduction
• Selectable analog output levels at 0 dB, -20 dB, and -46 dB allow matching to line, auxiliary, or microphone inputs for flexible use
• Adjustable analog gain range of 51 dB in 3 dB increments offers precise control over input levels
• Powered via Power over Ethernet with a maximum consumption of 11 watts, reducing the need for additional power supplies
• Low latency performance ensures minimal delay: 0.35 milliseconds from analog to Dante and 0.71 milliseconds from Dante to analog
• Browser-based control through an HTML5 interface enables easy remote configuration and monitoring without extra software
• High dynamic range of 113 dB maintains audio clarity and detail across a wide range of sound levels

Connectivity and compatibility

The interface uses block connectors for analog inputs and outputs, providing secure and professional-grade connections suitable for microphones and line-level devices. It connects to Dante audio networks via a single Ethernet cable that also supplies power through PoE, streamlining cabling requirements. The device’s browser-based control system works with any HTML5-compatible browser, making it compatible with a wide range of computers and tablets without additional software installation.

This setup fits well in environments where legacy analog equipment needs to be integrated into modern digital audio networks, such as conference rooms, broadcast studios, houses of worship, and live sound venues.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
