Checking audio over IP often happens away from the rack: in a control room, on a shoot or on site. The Nixer PD Series is built for exactly that. It is a small, portable unit to monitor, test and diagnose network audio, now available as PD Dante, PD Ravenna or PD Milan, depending on your network.

Choose the version for your network

  • PD Dante: Dante compatible. Dante subscriptions can be created and deleted directly from the unit, and it is compatible with Dante Domain Manager.
  • PD Ravenna: Ravenna, AES67 and ST 2110, with NMOS-04 and -05 support.
  • PD Milan: Milan AVB compatible.

At present, the PD Milan offers a primary network connection only. The PD Dante and PD Ravenna have two RJ45 ports, for switched or redundant operation.

Made to be carried

At 173 x 106 x 34 mm and 0.5 kg, the PD Series fits easily into a bag. It starts up quickly and can be powered by PoE (13 W) or by USB, from a computer port, a mains adapter or a battery pack. Both power inputs can be active at the same time for redundancy.

Monitoring and diagnostics in one device

  • Monitors up to 64 channels at 48 kHz (32 channels at 96 kHz), with up to 64 signal meters.
  • 5″ colour touchscreen for source selection, routing and status.
  • Built-in speakers, automatically muted when headphones are plugged in, plus a 3.5 mm headphone output.
  • Stereo balanced line outputs and AES output, and line, AES and microphone inputs that can be routed to the network.
  • Built-in signal generator (sine, square, triangle, burst tone, white and pink noise) and BLITS tones, which can be sent to the network.
  • Presets for instant recall of each event’s settings, PIN protection for critical operations, and remote configuration of the network.

Accessories such as break-out cables, desk brackets and a carrying bag are also available.
