High-End Microphone Converters

XMIC+ is a new microphone-input board featuring a dynamic range of 158 dB(A). Compared with its predecessor, the XMAD board, the XMIC+ offers twice the number of inputs: The XMIC+ digitises up to eight analogue microphone signals, without pre-amplification, to a 32-bit signal. Thanks to this high resolution, analogue pre-amplification is no longer required — just as with the XMIC+’s predecessors. At the same time, the board also handles higher input levels (up to 24 dBu) and can thus also be used for line inputs.
The XMIC+ can be used either in the traditional way with a single output, or as a splitter amplifier with up to four independent outputs per microphone input. Hence, the boards can be operated without the external splitters and microphone preamps required by conventional solutions.

Outstanding Converters for Line Signals

The XAD+, and XDA+ 8-channel analogue line input and output boards offer an exceptional dynamic range of 133 dB(A) and 131 dB(A), respectively.
This performance, meeting virtually all demands, is achieved using special A/D and D/A conversion technology developed by Stage Tec. All A/D converters make use of Stage Tec’s patented TrueMatch technology.

Multi-I/O Converters

The HXAD and HXDA boards each feature 16 analogue line I/Os. The eight analogue stereo inputs (HXAD) or stereo outputs (HXDA), respectively, are connected via D-Sub or RJ45 terminals on 4-DU panels.
For the first time, the galvanic isolation, which is a standard feature of all other NEXUS boards, was omitted, thus saving costs and space. The HXAD and HXDA boards can handle a maximum analogue level of 15 dBu, thus complying with the EBU broadcasting requirements. They are primarily intended for permanent installations.

Global Full-scale Level of up to 24 dBu

The full-scale level (0 dBFS) is set globally. Thus, a NEXUS system can be adjusted to a variety of environments or specifications without modification.
