NEXUS System

Mixing-Console system

Integration of the Mixing-Console Systems

NEXUS can also be used as the input and output matrix for Stage Tec mixing-console systems (AURUS, CRESCENDO, AURATUS, ON AIR 24). In such setups, the consoles use the NEXUS I/O resources. However, the integration of mixing console and audio network goes much further than this and deep into the architecture of both systems. For example, the NEXUS can be operated from the console configuration computer. The console also provides dedicated keys for direct access to frequently used NEXUS parameters such as gain, phase inversion and filters for microphone inputs, activation of the sample-rate converter for digital inputs or injection of the internal test-tone generator.

Multiple mixing-console systems integrated on an audio network can share resources. This topology is not only cost-effective, since each console does not require costly dedicated converters, but also allows for multiple utilization of all signal sources. The vocalist microphone signal can be routed to the monitor mixer, the FOH mixer, the OB truck and, in an unprocessed form, to a MADI output feeding a recording workstation.
The AURUS and CRESCENDO consoles are designed to provide a high channel count, thus using the NEXUS STAR audio router provides an enormous routing capacity for complex applications. Since the NEXUS STAR uses NEXUS Base Devices as distributed I/O interfaces, all NEXUS audio components are also accessible to the AURUS and CRESCENDO.
