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, loud
speakers, and audio processors are described in the hardware component index.

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 ana
log 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 connect
ed to the internet. Analog microphones connect to the network through the Shure ANI4IN, while loudspeakers con
nect through the Shure ANI4OUT.
