Signal Flow

In combination with the NEXUS audio network, the AURATUS provides a comprehensive system with decentralised inputs and outputs supporting various formats. The AURATUS can access all available I/O resources on this system, irrespective of where the physical connection sockets are located. To this end, NEXUS comes with extensive configuration functions that can be protected by means of access privileges if required.

The signal flow between the recording microphone and the speakers can be set in the NEXUS configuration software. Despite the host of options this system provides, the overall signal flow usually looks like this:

• The signal sources are fed to the respective boards inside a NEXUS Base Device.
• Using the NEXUS input matrix, the resulting audio resources are routed to the desired input channels on the mixing console.
• Signal processing is performed on the channel. Similar to an analogue desk, the signals can be routed to various buses or direct outs. There are also insert loops and control inputs.
• The bus signals can be assigned to channel strips, returned to the NEXUS matrix and from there to the NEXUS network.
• The NEXUS output boards, finally, take care of transmitting the processed signals to the required external devices.
