Nixer Audio Monitoring & Diagnostics tools in Broadcast

Nixer offers a variety of audio over IP monitoring and diagnostics tools, ideal for the Live, Install and Broadcast industries. Sound engineers, broadcasters and pro audio companies rely on these AoIP solutions for critical on-air monitoring.

Within the broadcast space, various applications include Master Control, Outside Broadcast and Special Events.

Master Control

With its intuitive display, perfect for rapid source selection, the RL256 Series shines within the demanding environment of a multichannel master control room. Monitor and mix up to 256 channels from a single compact 1RU frame across single or multiple networks and various AoIP standards: Dante, Ravenna, AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110.Nixer_AudioSchematicMasterControl_BroadcastUseCase_TEVIOS

Outside Broadcast

Nixer solutions provide precise confidence monitoring in audio racks of IP-based outside broadcast trucks, fly-packs and production facilities. Quickly select a source with the high resolution touch screens, clear metering and status information.

Special Events

Thanks to the unique routing and diagnostic capabilities of the PD & RD Dante units broadcast engineers have ready access to built-in diagnostic tools during setup and commissioning.

Additionally, host broadcasters utilize the PD Dante networking and diagnostic tools from multiple remote sports venues in order to route, configure and test systems that are located within their main international broadcast center (and vice versa).

Compact 64 channel Dante Audio Monitor by Nixer: RL64

The Nixer RL64 is a 1U 19inch rack mounted Dante monitoring and mixing unit capable of mixing up to 64 Dante channels!

Nixer_RL64_monitormixer_TEVIOS

In mixing mode, mix up to 64 Dante channels at 48kHz or 32 channels at 96kHz. Plus, the microphone input (via a headphone connector) and AES input create a 67 into 2 mixer. In listening mode, simply touch a channel to instantly route to the LR output and cancel the previous selection.

The LR bus’ outputs are presented via inbuilt 4mm x 9mm full range speakers or via a 3.5mm headphone jack. The speakers automatically mute when a headphone jack is inserted. Simultaneous outputs are available thanks to the stereo balanced line outputs and AES output, accessed on the rear of the RL64 Dante via XLR connectors. The mix output is routed to the Dante output as well.

Control the RL64 with the intuitive navigation menu on the 24-bit color LCD and capacitive touch panel. This high-res screen presents comprehensive metering, routing and status information.

The rear of the RL64 Dante features 2x balanced line outputs on 3 pin male XLRs and AES output on 3 pin male XLR. Configure these outputs to follow the main volume settings of the speakers/headphones or set them to follow the main Mute control.
