The ANIUSB-MATRIX USB Audio Network Interface complements the existing ANI4IN, ANI4OUT, and ANI22 products. It offers the ideal performance, connectivity, and affordability for audio/video conferencing installations in small and medium-sized meeting rooms when a premium microphone solution is desired, and acoustic echo cancellation of an A/V conferencing codec will be used.

The ANIUSB-MATRIX connects 4 Microflex Advance or Microflex Wireless microphone channels via Dante (4 in / 2 out), provides analogue connectivity (1 block in / 1 block out) to a room audio/video conferencing system or a PC-based A/V conferencing application via USB (1 in/out).

Internal matrix mixer offers flexible routing, allowing users to route any input to any output. A 4-band parametric EQ filter is also available on the analogue and USB outputs.

Supports standards-based security protocols to manage access and protect data, including 802.1x, secure boot/storage, and AES encryption for control and audio data.

Product Features

• Connects 10 Dante audio inputs, 2 analogue inputs, USB and a mobile device to an AV conferencing system or a PC-based videoconferencing application
• Flexible signal routing and connectivity: analogue audio (2 block in / 2 block out) to connect to room AV conferencing system; USB (1 in/out) to connect to a laptop or room PC; one 3.5 mm TRRS jack to connect to a mobile device to enable an additional participant to join
• Dante Domain Manager / Device Lock compatible (Add “DDM Ready” icon)
• Easily setup and deploy settings with Designer System Configuration Software
• Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+) eliminates the need for an outboard power supply
