Nucleus

The Nucleus is a single rack unit, highly versatile audio routing control device.

Description

The Nucleus is our most versatile audio routing, monitoring, and control device.  Equally comfortable in a broadcast, transmission, public address, conference, or live sound environments, the Nucleus provides precise audio DSP processing and dynamics.

The device offers a mixture of analog, Dante/AES67/ST2110 input and output options, GPIO, and serial control making it a complete studio-in-a-box solution. Simple IP messaging allow for virtual and external control of SAS equipment and numerous third party devices. 

Input & Output Overview

Analog channels include 4 line level stereo inputs, and 8 line level stereo outputs with PoE. 

SAS Headphone modules (TP-HPV, SP-HPV) may be connected to a single analog stereo output and daisy chained to provide for the desired amount of guest seats while leaving the remaining 7 stereo outputs available. 

Digital channels include 4 stereo inputs and 8 stereo outputs.

A Stratos or MClass console requires 4 of the digital stereo outputs for meters, board op headphone, talk back, and cue. The remaining 4 digital stereo outputs are for the user to connect CD players, phones, etc.
