Control:A computer connected to the network controls the microphone through a web-based control application. Coverage, muting, LED behavior, lobe settings,
gain, and network settings are controlled remotely.
Audio: Dante™ audio is routed through Dante™ controller software. Dante™ Virtual Soundcard enables audio monitoring and recording directly on the
computer.
System Planning and Gear Requirements
Setting up the Audio Network
Shure networked conferencing systems are comprised of Microflex Advance microphones and network interfaces, which operate entirely on a Dante™ network.
Additional hardware, including network switches, computers, loudspeakers, and audio processors are described in the hardware component index.
Shure components shown in this diagram:
Microflex Advance Microphones
The MXA910 and MXA310 are equipped with Dante outputs, and connect directly to a network switch.
Audio Network Interfaces
The interfaces are used to connect analog devices such as loudspeakers and analog microphones to the network.
ANI4IN: Converts 4 analog signals (separate XLR and block connector models available) into Dante™ digital audio signals.
ANI4OUT: Converts 4 channels of Dante™ audio from the network into analog signals.

This diagram shows the entire signal path through a networked conference system. Signals from the near end and far end are exchanged through an audio
processor connected to a phone system, or through a computer connected to the internet. Analog microphones connect to the network through the Shure ANI4IN,
while loudspeakers connect through the Shure ANI4OUT.
