Audient Nero becomes the nerve center of the studio

This device, in desktop format, provides centralized and customizable control capable of meeting all monitoring needs.

They will listen Nero announced, a desktop monitor controller that has a wide range of inputs and outputs, professional console-style control, assignable sub output and Precision Matched Attenuation technology.

“Nero is based on our 20 years of experience in analog design and circuitry designed by David Dearden. As a studio grows, It is becoming more and more complicated to manage monitoring, but Nero provides centralized and customizable control capable of meeting all monitoring needs, in desktop format”, afirma Andy Allen, marketing director of Audience.

Four stereo analog inputs, including two line level inputs, a specific cue mix input, an auxiliary input (RCA o mini Jack) and both optical and coaxial inputs, provide a wide variety of connectivity options. These inputs can be sent to its three speaker outputs (with the ability to adjust and adapt volumes), one assignable sub output and four headphone outputs.

“Nero has both a quality headphone output for monitoring, intended for the engineer, like three headphone outputs for artists, all of them providing clear mixes, crystal clear and powerful for headphones, both in recording and mixing,” adds Allen.

They will listen, brand that distributes Audio-Technica Iberia, has also developed Precision Matched Attenuation technology, which is responsible for matching the volume of the left and right channels of the stereo signal. This prevents any deviation in volume between the left and right monitors, allowing precise and totally reliable mixing.

Nero offers a wide range of flexible controls for monitoring, including specific talkback, controles Cut & Dim, polarity, mono, Speaker selection and Cue Mix management. It also introduces the new concept that Smart Touchpoints represent., “Configurable buttons allow you to customize your workflow on the fly,” says Andy.

Simply press and hold a touchpoint to enter configuration mode, and direct, configure and save different combinations of Nero monitoring controls to suit the user's needs.

Regarding the talkback, Black has an internal micro, as well as a specific microphone input, equipped with phantom power, allowing the use of any dynamic or condenser microphone. Any input source can be addressed, as well as the talkback, to any headphone output, which allows full control over the session at all times.

“Nero uses Audient's experience in implementing monitor control in professional recording consoles and desktop controllers.”, and we are sure that this knowledge has led us to achieve the best sound, and the most flexible desktop monitor controller available at its price level,” concludes Andy.
