AURUS Concept

NEXUS Audio Network

Utilizing NEXUS as the audio-network and routing system for AURUS provides for a flexible and distributed overall system topology. NEXUS handles a multitude of distributed Base Devices, thus covering many different applications, from modest theatre systems up to full-blown studio-complex and broadcasting-centre networking.

The exclusive use of fibre-optic cables simplifies the installation and allows distances of up to 100 km (60+ miles) to be spanned between Base Devices. Optical interface modules supporting distances of up to 100 kilometres (>62 miles) are available as an option. For example, inputs and outputs can be made available from 3 U stage boxes placed where they are needed (I.e. on the stage, in the studio, etc.). Inputs and outputs of multiple AURUS mixing-console systems, integrated into a NEXUS network, can be shared and distributed as required.

NEXUS Base Devices are available in various configurations, units between 1 and 15 U can be supplied. The interfaces are configured according to the customer’s requirements. Interface boards for a wide variety of digital and analogue audio formats are available. In addition, control boards (relay or serial) can be implemented.
