The ANIUSB-MATRIX Audio Network Interface provides connections for USB, Dante™, and analog audio sources. Collaborate and connect with all audio devices on a single network, with support for wireless microphones, computers, mobile devices, video codecs, and loudspeaker systems. Connect with a single network cable to receive audio and power through Power over Ethernet (PoE). Use Shure Designer software or the browser-based web application to control audio and network settings from any computer connected to the same network.
To control the ANIUSB-MATRIX, use Shure Designer software to adjust settings and route audio between Shure devices. After completing this basic setup process, you should be able to:
Before you get started, you'll need:
Note: If Designer isn’t available, you can use a web application to control the ANIUSB-MATRIX and Dante Controller to route audio. Download the Shure Web Device Discovery application to access your device’s web application.
To route audio in Designer, you’ll need to create a project and a location. You can learn more about both in Designer’s Help section.
For this example, we’ll connect an MXA310 table array microphone.
Note: To route audio to non-Shure devices, use Dante Controller software.
The final configuration steps will vary, depending on what other devices you connect to the ANIUSB-MATRIX. These are general guidelines, but you’ll find more details in the system examples.
Now that the basic setup is complete, you should have access to the ANIUSB-MATRIX in Designer and be able to pass audio.
Learn more about the ANIUSB-MATRIX in the Designer Help section or in the complete user guide at pubs.shure.com/guide/ANIUSB-Matrix.

① Computer
The host computer 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.
Note: Compatible with Mac and PC
② Analog Input Sources
Analog sources (such as wireless microphones or any line-level devices) connect to the analog line input.
③ Analog Output Devices
Loudspeakers, amplifiers, or recording devices connect to the analog line output.
④ Dante-enabled Equipment
Dante microphones, such as the Shure Microflex Advance ceiling and table arrays, connect to the network switch and can be routed through the USB channel on the ANIUSB.
⑤ Control Computer
A computer connected to the network accesses Shure Designer software or the web application to control the channel levels and processing.
⑥ Network Switch
The network switch provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) to the ANIUSB, while also supporting all other Dante-enabled audio equipment.
The USB port connects the host computer to the entire room audio system, including microphones and loudspeakers.
When the ANIUSB-MATRIX is connected for the first time, the computer recognizes it as a USB audio device. You may need to select it as the input/output (recording/playback) device to pass audio. Assign the ANIUSB-MATRIX as the default device to ensure it passes audio every time it is plugged in. Refer to the manual for your computer to configure the audio settings.
This device is compatible with USB-B to USB-C adapters. Using an adapter is only recommended for desktop and laptop computers, as many mobile devices do not support bi-directional audio through USB or lightning ports.
You can route audio to and from the ANIUSB using Dante Controller or Shure Designer software. Use the ANIUSB's matrix mixer to route Dante and analog channels to the USB port.
Step 1: Dante Controller or Shure Designer
Note: Shure Designer creates Dante audio routes between Shure devices. To create Dante audio routes with non-Shure Dante devices, use Dante Controller.
Step 2: Matrix mixer
Audio is encrypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256), as specified by the US Government National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publication FIPS-197. Shure devices that support encryption require a passphrase to make a connection. Encryption is not supported with third-party devices.
To activate encryption:
Important: For encryption to work, all Shure devices on your network must use encryption.
If you’re using Shure Designer software to configure your system, please check the Designer help section for more about this topic.

Edit | Opens the dialog to adjust parameters |
Global (right-click in blank area) | |
---|---|
Mute all inputs | Mutes all input channels |
Mute all outputs | Mutes all output channels |
Close all dialogs | Clears all open dialogs from the workspace |
Create a custom environment to monitor and control a set of inputs, outputs, and processing blocks from a single screen. There are two ways to break out dialogs:
Open as many dialogs as you need to keep important controls available.
A meter appears underneath each input and output to indicate signal levels (dBFS).
The lines connecting inputs and outputs to the matrix mixer appear colored when connections are established. When a signal is not routed, the line appears gray. Use these tools to troubleshoot audio signals and verify connections and levels.
The matrix mixer routes audio signals between inputs and outputs, for simple and flexible routing:
Connect inputs and outputs by selecting the box where they intersect.
Important: Dante devices must be routed in Dante Controller or Shure Designer software to pass audio to or from a Dante device.
Crosspoint gain adjusts the gain between a specific input and output, to create separate submixes without changing input or output fader settings. Select the dB value at any crosspoint to open the gain adjustment panel.
Gain staging: input fader > crosspoint gain > output fader
Hosting a meeting with a computer:
Near-end audio from Dante microphones (Shure MXA 310) and an analog source (Shure wireless microphone system) 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.
Mute Groups | Check the Mute group box to add the channel to a group. Muting any channel within the Mute group mutes all channels in the group. |
Fader Groups | Check the Fader group box to add the channel to a group. All faders within the group are linked, and move together when a single fader is adjusted. |
Levels for analog and Dante channels are adjustable in the Input tab.
To monitor input levels before they reach the ANIUSB-MATRIX, set the metering to Pre-gain in the Settings menu. When adjusting the faders, set metering to Post-gain.
Note: The matrix mixer provides crosspoint gain, to adjust separate submixes for different outputs.
Before you begin, verify that levels from the analog devices with adjustable output levels are operating at nominal levels. The fader adjusts the digital gain before the signal reaches the matrix mixer.
Line: (+4 dBu)
Aux: (-10 dBV)
Tip: Set the metering to post-fader in the settings menu to adjust output levels.
Adjust faders in the Outputs section as high as necessary, but make sure to avoid clipping (when the signal reaches 0 dBFS). Always adjust the input gain and crosspoint gain in the matrix mixer before the output gain.
Analog output level:Select Line, Aux, or Mic level output signal to match the sensitivity of the receiving device.
Maximize audio quality by adjusting the frequency response with the parametric equalizer.
Common equalizer applications:

The device is connected via Ethernet to a control system, such as AMX, Crestron or Extron.
Connection: Ethernet (TCP/IP; select “Client” in the AMX/Crestron program)
Port: 2202
The device has 4 types of strings:
GET | Finds the status of a parameter. After the AMX/Crestron sends a GET command, the ANIUSB responds with a REPORT string |
SET | Changes the status of a parameter. After the AMX/Crestron sends a SET command, the ANIUSB will respond with a REPORT string to indicate the new value of the parameter. |
REP | When the ANIUSB receives a GET or SET command, it will reply with a REPORT command to indicate the status of the parameter. REPORT is also sent by the ANIUSB when a parameter is changed on the ANIUSB or through the GUI. |
SAMPLE | Used for metering audio levels. |
All messages sent and received are ASCII. Note that the level indicators and gain indicators are also in ASCII
Most parameters will send a REPORT command when they change. Thus, it is not necessary to constantly query parameters. The ANIUSB will send a REPORT command when any of these parameters change.
