The Shure Audio Network Interface converts 4 channels of Dante digital audio into discrete analogue signals. Connect to a processing device with analogue connections (audio processors, video codecs, and loudspeaker systems, for example) to fully integrate networked audio and analogue equipment in a single system. Available in XLR and block connector versions, each box uses a single network cable to receive audio and power through Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Converts Dante™ digital audio signal to four discrete line / mic analogue signals for easy audio routing and convenient browser-based remote control.

Product Features

• Single Ethernet port carries Dante audio, power (PoE – class 0)
• LEDs indicate device status and audio signal
• Control strings for third-party preset controllers including Crestron® and AMX®
• 4 Band C/S PEQ on every channel
• Provides channel summing to combine Dante™ signals from the network and send them over a single analogue output
• Browser-based software control for all device parameters, per output channel:
  • Mute control
  • Digital gain
  • Polarity control
• 1/3 Rack unit wide
• Chassis ground screw (BLOCK version only) provides common chassis ground for multiple inputs
• Available in block connector and standard XLR variations
