Shure ANIUSB-MATRIX USB Audio Network Interface

Product Overview

The Shure ANIUSB-MATRIX is a USB audio network interface with matrix mixing built for audio/video conferencing in small and medium conference rooms and huddle rooms. It bridges Dante networked microphones, analog room audio, and USB-based conferencing software in a single PoE-powered device, giving AV integrators a compact hub for connecting Shure Microflex microphones to a PC or codec. Its internal matrix mixer routes any input to any output for flexible conference room AV integration.

Product Description

The ANIUSB-MATRIX connects four Microflex Advance or Microflex Wireless microphone channels over Dante and provides analog and USB connectivity to tie a conferencing system together. It offers four Dante inputs and two Dante outputs, one analog block input and one analog block output, and a single USB connection for a PC-based A/V conferencing application or a room conferencing system. An internal 6x4 matrix mixer routes any input to any output, with per-channel equalizer, mute, limiter, and gain, plus 4-band parametric EQ on the analog and USB outputs. The device supports standards-based security including 802.1x, secure boot and storage, and AES encryption for control and audio data, which matters for IT-managed deployments. Power-over-Ethernet removes the need for an outboard supply. As a commercial-grade interface, it is a practical core for soft-codec rooms running platforms such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom alongside Shure networked microphones.
