Shure ANI4OUT-BLOCK

Overview

The Shure ANI4OUT-BLOCK is a 1/3-rack audio network interface designed to convert Dante digital audio signals into four independent analog outputs via block connectors. It provides a seamless connection between modern Dante audio networks and legacy analog equipment such as mixers, amplifiers, or recording devices that require balanced analog inputs. This unit simplifies installations by delivering Dante audio, power through PoE, and control data over a single Ethernet cable, making it an efficient solution for professional audio environments.

Key features

• Four block analog output ports with selectable mic or line level for versatile connectivity
• Single Ethernet port supplies Dante audio, power via PoE, and control data, reducing cable clutter
• Browser-based control interface allows muting, digital gain adjustment, polarity flipping, and four-band parametric EQ on each channel
• Channel summing capability enables combining multiple Dante sources into one analog output for flexible routing
• Compatibility with Crestron and AMX control strings supports integration into room automation systems
• LED indicators provide clear feedback on network status and signal presence for easy monitoring
• Chassis ground screw helps eliminate hum by providing shared grounding across connected equipment

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.
