Audio from the far end is routed to local loudspeakers. Dante™ -enabled
speakers or amplifiers connect directly to the network switch, while analog
systems require an audio network interface to receive networked audio.
Computers and Control Systems
Browser-Based Web Application
A computer connected to the network provides control of Shure networked
components through the web application for each device.
Dante™ Software
A computer running Dante™ Virtual Soundcard, Dante™ Controller, and web
conferencing software is used to send and receive audio between the near end
and far end.
Control Systems (AMX, Crestron, etc.)
If using a third-party control system, Microflex Advance microphones send and
receive commands over Ethernet. If an analog logic signal must be sent over
the network, the Shure ANI4IN Audio Network Interface receives analog logic
signals and converts them into Ethernet control strings.
System Scenarios
The following diagrams show a selection of common conferencing room systems. Use them as a reference when planning hardware and cable requirements
for an installation. Each diagram includes:
• Signal flow and connections
• Required hardware
• Component roles
Power Over Ethernet and Hardware Requirements
All Shure components included in these scenarios require Power over Ethernet (PoE, class 0). Refer to the Dante and Networking section for additional infor-
mation on cable and network switch requirements.
