Shure ANI22 Audio Network Interface

The Shure ANI22 Audio Network Interface is a powerful bridge between a Dante audio network and two analog signals, designed to streamline professional AV and live-sound setups. Built to complement the established ANI4IN and ANI4OUT family, the ANI22 makes it simple to route two line- or mic-level signals from a Dante network to your local analog gear, while providing browser-based remote control for fast, hassle-free operation. Whether you’re expanding a conference room system, outfitting a gallery with immersive audio, or integrating a touring rig, the ANI22 delivers dependable, high-quality performance with the flexibility you need in demanding environments.

• Effortless Dante integration with two-channel analog output: The ANI22 receives two Dante-driven signals and converts them to clean, controllable analog outputs for mixers, amplifiers, or stage monitors, enabling precise routing from a centralized network to your venue or studio floor.
• Browser-based remote control for fast setup: Configure routing, gain, and other essential parameters from any web browser on your network. No dedicated software required, which simplifies deployment across locations and minimizes on-site setup time.
• Seamless compatibility with existing ANI ecosystem: Designed to complement the ANI4IN and ANI4OUT products, the ANI22 extends your networked audio capability, allowing you to scale your system without replacing existing hardware.
• Two flexible analog inputs with selectable level and gain settings: Opt for line- or mic-level outputs to match your equipment’s needs, giving you the versatility to support a wide range of devices and performance scenarios.
• Rugged, professional build for touring and fixed installations: The ANI22 is engineered to withstand the rigors of live sound, broadcast, and install environments, delivering reliable performance day after day.

how to install Shure ANI22 Audio Network Interface

• Unpack and verify the ANI22 and included accessories, ensuring all components are present per the product packaging.
• Connect the ANI22 to your Dante network using a standard Ethernet cable. Ensure the network switch or router supports your Dante setup.
• Power the device via the recommended power method (Power over Ethernet or local power supply, depending on your installation).
• Open a web browser on a computer connected to the same network and enter the ANI22’s IP address to access the browser-based setup page.
• Configure the Dante routing to send two signals from the network to the ANI22’s analog outputs. Set the analog output level (line or mic) and adjust gain as needed for your downstream gear.
• If you are integrating with ANI4IN or ANI4OUT devices, map the channels accordingly to achieve the desired routing across all devices in your system.
• Test the signal path by playing audio through the Dante network and confirming clean analog output on your connected mixer or amplifier.
• Save your configuration and document the network settings for future troubleshooting or expansion.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the primary purpose of the ANI22? The ANI22 provides a Dante-to-analog interface for two channels, allowing two signals from a Dante network to be routed to line- or mic-level analog outputs, and controlled remotely through a browser UI.
• Can the ANI22 work with ANI4IN and ANI4OUT? Yes. The ANI22 is designed to complement the ANI4IN and ANI4OUT devices, enabling scalable, networked audio routing across multiple units.
• How do I access the browser-based control? Connect the ANI22 to your network, determine its IP address, and enter that address into any web browser on the same network. The web UI provides routing, gain, and output level controls.
• What level options are available for the inputs? The ANI22 offers selectable configurations for line-level or microphone-level outputs on its two analog channels, with adjustable gain to match downstream equipment.
• Do I need special software to configure the ANI22? No, the browser-based interface is sufficient for setup and ongoing control, simplifying deployment across venues and installations.
• Is the ANI22 suitable for live sound and fixed installations? Yes. Its rugged design and flexible routing capabilities make it appropriate for touring rigs, broadcast environments, conference systems, and permanent installations.
