Stage Tec is actively engaged in loudness measurement development. The new methods are now directly implemented in NEXUS, thanks to the generation of new NEXUS CPU boards!   read more

An audio network? A router? An I/O matrix? None of these terms is an appropriate description of what this system really is. So we need a new name:
NEXUS!

NexusNEXUS is not only simultaneously an audio network, a router, and an I/O matrix; it also offers

  • Audio-format conversion
  • A/D and D/A converter systems
  • Audio processing
  • Data forwarding
  • Routing interfaces
  • Multi-channel metering
  • Power-amplifier control
  • Intercom
  • Logical functions, and much more…

The basic proposition is convincing:

Optical interconnections cover the entire studio complex carrying all audio and control data in a digital format. So-called Base Devices are installed in studios, control rooms, apparatus areas, and on stages. They provide all the necessary I/O resources in the appropriate formats via standard ports. A handy graphical control software application allows any input to be routed to the desired outputs — no matter where the I/O resources are physically located.

NEXUS is THE versatile audio network and routing system for controlling studio or mixing-console resources, for routing areas, broadcasting-complex networking, OB trucks, sound reinforcement, and for all other professional audio applications.
