Example scenario: hosting a meeting using the ANIUSB-MATRIX
- Near-end audio from Dante microphones and an analog source are both routed to the USB input and sent to the far end.
- Far-end audio from the computer (USB input in the matrix mixer) can be sent to analog or Dante-enabled amplifiers and loudspeakers.
- Record meeting audio from all locations by routing all sources to a recording device or computer on the network.
ANIUSB-MATRIX signal flow
- Computer: The host computer (Mac/PC) sends and receives audio through conferencing software. All signals pass through the single USB connection. You can route Dante sources using Dante Controller or Shure Designer software.
- Analog input sources: Analog sources (such as wireless microphones or any line-level devices) connect to the analog line input.
- Analog output devices: Loudspeakers, amplifiers, or recording devices connect to the analog line output.
- Dante-enabled equipment: Dante microphones, such as the Shure Microflex Advance ceiling and table arrays (not included), connect to the network switch and can be routed through the USB channel on the ANIUSB-MATRIX.
- Control computer: A computer connected to the network accesses Shure Designer to control the channel levels and processing.
- Network switch: The network switch provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) to the ANIUSB-MATRIX while also supporting all other Dante-enabled audio equipment.
