Audient Nero

Description

Building on over 20 years of expertise in analogue console heritage, Nero has been
designed to give you powerful control over your monitoring. Featuring a comprehensive
range of I/O, console style monitor control, Precision Matched Attenuation Technology and
more… Nero will quickly become the core of your studio.

Inputs – Centralise, customise, control

As your studio grows it becomes harder to control. Nero enables you to centralise, connect
and control all your monitoring needs from your desktop using Nero’s array of stereo inputs.

• 2 x Line Level Inputs
• 1 x Dedicated Cue Mix Input
• 1 x Aux Input (RCA or Mini Jack)
• Optical & Coaxial S/PDIF Inputs

Outputs

Reference your mixes on up to three sets of speakers, independently set and match volume
for all speakers and audition and assign your sub to any monitor path. Nero also provides
one dedicated monitor grade headphone amp and three foldback grade headphone amps,
making sure you’re ready to take on the loudest of sessions with crystal clear headphone
mixes.

• 1 x Main Speaker Outputs
• 2 x Alternative Speaker Outputs
• 1 x Assignable Sub Output
• 4 x Headphone Outputs

Precision Matched Stereo Volume Control

Nero perfectly matches the volume of the left and right channels of your stereo signal using
Audient’s custom Precision Matched Attenuation Technology. Unlike other monitor
controllers, this prevents any deviation in volume between your left and right monitors or
unbalancing of your stereo image, enabling you to monitor accurately and mix with
confidence.

Assignable Sub

Easily assign a sub to activate when switching to a monitor path of choice but maintain the
ability to switch it on and off without losing your saved preset. Nero also lets you audition the sub on any alternative set of speakers without forcing you to assign it permanently.

Smart Touchpoints

Smart Touchpoints enable you to customise your workflow on the fly. Easily route and
configure Nero’s outputs and monitor controls to create monitoring combinations that suit
your needs. Simply hold down a Smart Touchpoint to put it into setup mode, select your
routing options and press it again to save.

• Assign any input source to your headphone outputs using the SRC buttons.
• Assign the Talkback Mic to any or all headphone outputs and quickly communicate
• with your artists.
• Save time by easily setting any of your outputs permanently to Mono. Perfect for your
• Mono reference speakers.

• switch on/off and audition without losing your saved routing.
