Main Console

The fan-free AURUS console is just a control and operating surface providing 16 up to 96 assignable channel strips and a central control section. The portable console is designed as a lightweight desktop unit and is fully functional even without the legs installed.

The user interface is based on a modular structure and consists of several control panels, TFT screens, a graphics tablet, and a keyboard. There are various control panels for specific applications, which are interconnected using ribbon cables for convenient servicing.

The AURUS console unit integrates the interface electronics for connecting the audio processor to the control panels via fibre-optic lines. The console features its own independent redundant power supply.

Further, a configuration computer is integrated into the console for setting up mixing-console projects and controlling the connected NEXUS audio network. The computer is operated using the integrated keyboard and graphics tablet while feedback is provided by an assignable TFT display. To keep noise emission as low as possible, and to allow for the use of a variety of storage media, all data is stored to the disk drives on the remote server PC.
