Shure ANI4IN (XLR) Audio Network Interface

High-quality sound can bring more clarity to the conference, but not without high quality conversion. ANI interfaces with Dante™ make it easy to connect analog microphones to the network. Paired with analog microphones, ANI keeps the conversation on track.

Shure ANI4IN (XLR) Features
