Concept

A WIDE RANGE OF FUNCTIONS. ONE GOAL: HIGH-END AUDIO QUALITY.

NEXUS compact offers the same state-of-the-art audio quality and outstanding reliability as nexus modular. Apart from being a slim edge device for NEXUS networks and AVATUS mixing consoles, NEXUS compact can be seamlessly integrated into broadcast environments via ember+ and GPIO’s. Additionally, the NEXUS compact’s standalone capabilities make it a premium mobile recording frontend as well as a local and remote mixing tool.

Application areas

  • Reference microphone converter for recording studios
  • Compact design easily connected to an existing network in Dante or AES67 format
  • Connecting microphone arrays on-camera for immersive sound pickup and transport over IP
  • Small workstations I/O
  • Reference monitoring with GPI source select
  • On-site mixing for remote productions to mix local sources with IFBs without delay
  • Commentary box for sports or e-games
  • Swiss army knife for PA system engineers
  • High-end mic inputs for Yamaha CL/QL consoles

TECHNICAL DATA

Features

The NEXUS compact 2.0 is equipped with a fixed amount of I/O resources, some GPIO’s for external control and an audio-over-IP interface.

  • Dynamic range of 158 dB
  • 8 x TrueMatch microphone inputs with 4-splits
  • 4 x AES3 stereo in
  • 4 x AES3 stereo out
  • 8 x analog out
  • Stereo headphone
  • 64 x Dante or AES67 I/O
  • 6 x GPI / 5 x GPO (in pairs usable as encoders)
  • Optional license to control the Nexus compact (Dante version) from Yamaha CL/QL consoles

DSP functions for local sound processing

  • 120 x 16 Mix Matrix
  • 16 x Input processing (Delay, Exp, EQ, Comp)
  • 16 x Output processing (Delay, EQ, Comp, Lim)
  • AVATUS-EQs
  • AVATUS compressors, where modern wet/dry, knee and soft-clip parameters have been added
  • All conversion and processing with sampling rates up to 192 kHz

USER INTERFACE

A web-browser can be used to control the NEXUS compact. Just putting the IP address or URL in any browser on a tablet or laptop operating in the same domain will visualize a comprehensive user interface. Giving access to all parameters of the I/O resources, as storing snapshots and configuring the GPIO’s.

Specials

STAGETEC IP

NEXUS compact has embraced IP with the introduction of Dante. Later on, AES67 and SMPTE 2110 were added to our roadmap. Since 2018 our consoles connect over IP to the core, making it possible for a full IP STAGETEC solution. Keeping the hybrid option open for backwards compatibility and your peace of mind for a budget friendly upgrade.

True Match

The patented TrueMatch® technology provides uncompromising audio quality. It features minimal transducer errors, low distortion, and improved aliasing suppression, while achieving an otherwise unattainable dynamic range of 158 dB. The special four-stage operation of TrueMatch® converters eliminates the need for analog preamplification. Analog overload or component noise is thus eliminated.

BROADCAST & REMOTE RECORDINGS

NEXUS compact // IN ACTION

Seamless integration via Ember+ and GPIO’s. Connecting microphone arrays on-camera for immersive sound pickup and transport over IP. Remote production with on-site mixing of local sources with IFBs without delay.

MASTERING STUDIO

NEXUS compact // IN ACTION

For decades, NEXUS units have been considered the ultimate reference converters. NEXUS compact also utilizes the TrueMatch technology, making STAGETEC’s high-quality conversion available in a compact format for the first time. The ability to control NEXUS compact via button interfaces (computer or GPIO) also allows it to be used simultaneously as a monitor controller. If recordings are needed, NEXUS TrueMatch technology eliminates the need for a preamp. Microphones can be connected directly without additional hardware and recorded in the highest quality.

OB VAN

NEXUS compact // IN ACTION

NEXUS compact is the perfect I/O unit for small OB vans or the ideal expansion for larger ones: direct integration into AES67 or Dante networks, with easy operation via web browser. Small mixes can, of course, be handled directly within the NEXUS compact.

EVENTS

NEXUS compact // IN ACTION

Whether used as a standalone mixer for presentations, a breakout box for delay towers, a summing unit for mixing consoles, an independent mixer for small applications, or for spontaneous high-quality recordings, NEXUS compact offers unparalleled flexibility and quality. It's a tool that belongs in the backpack of any demanding technician or in any professional toolkit.

PROJECT STUDIO

NEXUS compact // IN ACTION

The sound of major studios: depth, transparency, completely noise-free, and of perfect quality. For the first time, NEXUS compact brings the converters of large studios into a compact and affordable format. The integrated processing allows for signal handling right at the source, and the internal mix engine can be used for low-latency headphone mixes. Deliver top-quality sound, directly from your project studio.
