Shure ANI4OUT-XLR

Overview

The Shure ANI4OUT-XLR is a 4-channel Dante audio network interface designed to convert digital Dante audio streams into discrete analog signals via XLR outputs. It enables seamless integration of modern Dante networks with legacy analog equipment such as mixers, amplifiers, and powered speakers. With Power over Ethernet (PoE) class 0 support, it simplifies installation by using a single Ethernet cable for both power and audio transport, making it ideal for setups where power outlets are limited.

Key features

• Converts up to four Dante digital audio channels into individual analog XLR outputs for flexible audio routing.
• Supports PoE class 0, allowing a single Ethernet cable to deliver both power and audio, reducing cable clutter and installation complexity.
• Browser-based control interface provides per-channel adjustments including mute, digital gain, polarity inversion, and a four-band parametric equalizer for precise tone shaping.
• Built-in channel summing function enables combining multiple Dante sources into a single analog output, simplifying complex routing scenarios.
• Front-panel LEDs offer clear visual feedback on device status and signal presence, aiding quick diagnostics and monitoring.
• Compatible with Crestron and AMX control systems, facilitating integration into larger room control and automation workflows.

Key specs

• Channels: 4 Dante digital audio inputs to 4 analog XLR outputs
• Power: PoE class 0 (Power over Ethernet)
• Control: Browser-based interface for gain, mute, polarity, and EQ
• EQ: Four-band parametric equalizer per channel
• Connectivity: Single Ethernet port for audio and power

Connectivity and compatibility

This unit connects directly to a Dante audio network via a single Ethernet cable, which also supplies power through PoE class 0. The analog outputs use standard XLR connectors, making it straightforward to interface with a wide range of professional audio equipment. Its compatibility with Crestron and AMX control systems ensures it can be smoothly integrated into existing AV control environments, supporting centralized management and automation.

Installation and setup

The ANI4OUT-XLR’s PoE support eliminates the need for separate power supplies, allowing flexible placement in equipment racks, under conference tables, or on desktops where power access is limited. The browser-based control page for each channel can be accessed from any computer on the network, enabling easy configuration and real-time adjustments without additional software. Front-panel LEDs provide immediate visual confirmation of device and signal status, streamlining troubleshooting during setup.

Ideal uses and environments

This interface is well suited for professional environments where legacy analog audio gear remains essential, such as boardrooms, houses of worship, broadcast racks, and university lecture capture systems. It provides a practical solution for expanding analog outputs from a Dante network, ensuring clean and manageable audio distribution. Users who need precise control over audio signals and integration with room automation systems will find this unit particularly valuable.

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.
