Radio Kuwait was the first user of a big NEXUS system in the Middle
East. A NEXUS STAR core system and 18 Base Devices form a star network with true
optical redundancy and undertakes all the audio routing for the station.
Each of the six analogue and six digital control rooms has been equipped with a NEXUS
Base Device used as local matrix and I/O interface to the main control room. The
main control room houses the STAR router and a large Base Device providing many
analogue I/O ports for hooking up sources from the — still analogue — environment.
The network also includes the assigned audio-control
room and a stage. A further Base Device is used for a transfer line to Kuwait
TV. This installation emphasises the NEXUS’ ability to provide a branched audio-routing
network.
