Stagetec’s NEXUS Compact is the ultimate high-end audio interface in a rugged, space-saving format. Boasting Stagetec’s legendary TrueMatch converters with an ultra-wide 158 dB dynamic range, it delivers pristine audio for the most demanding productions. With mic preamps, AES3, analog outs, Dante/AES67, and integrated DSP for EQ, dynamics, and auto mixing, it’s a powerhouse in a compact frame. Remote control via web GUI, Ember+, or Yamaha consoles makes NEXUS Compact your perfect partner—on the road, on stage, or in the studio.
The NEXUS Compact audio interface delivers the same state-of-the-art audio quality and exceptional reliability as the Nexus modular. Designed as a sleek edge device for NEXUS networks and Avatus mixing consoles, the NEXUS compact can be effortlessly integrated into broadcast environments through ember+ and GPIO’s. Furthermore, its standalone capabilities make the Nexus compact an excellent choice for premium mobile recording, as well as a versatile tool for both local and remote mixing.
The compact housing, measuring half the size of a 1U 19” rack (mounting kit for 1 or 2 pieces in 1 RU available), efficiently converts baseband and analog signals into IP audio standards, including AES67, Dante, Ravenna, and ST 2110-30/31. It utilizes open standards and protocols to ensure compatibility and flexibility. The NEXUS compact features an intuitive web browser-based user interface for controlling the on-board DSP mixer functions, providing seamless and user-friendly operation.
