Use Dante Controller software to connect with other Dante devices and pass audio
Access additional configuration information
Step 1: Connect to a Network
1. Use an Ethernet cable (CAT5e or higher) to connect the ANIUSB-MATRIX to a network
switch.
Note: The network switch must provide Power over Ethernet (PoE). Make sure to
connect to a PoE port, since many switches do not supply power on all ports.
2. Connect a computer to the network switch with an Ethernet cable
Step 2: Access the Web Application
1. Download and install the Shure Device Discovery application (http://www.shure.com)
2. Open the Shure Device Discovery application
3. Double-click the device to open the web application.
Tip: If setting up multiple Shure devices, use the Identify button in the application to
flash the lights on the device.
Step 3: Connect Devices in Dante Controller Software
1. Download and install Dante Controller Software from http://www.audinate.com
2. Use Dante Controller to create connections with other Dante devices
Note: Refer to the Dante Controller user guide for more information on channel routing (available at
http://www.audinate.com/resources/technical-documentation)
Example: Connecting the ANIUSB-MATRIX and Shure MXA310

INPUT 1 intersect
Step 4: Configure Audio
The final configuration steps will vary, depending on the devices used with the ANIUSB-
MATRIX. These steps may include:
Connecting analog and USB audio devices
Using the matrix mixer to customize signal routing
Adjusting input and output levels
Viewing the entire signal path and modifying settings in schematic view
Applying equalization to maximize speech clarity
For these steps, comprehensive information is available in the help section of the web
