Merging Technologies MERGING+ANUBIS SPS Pro RAVENNA/AES67 Audio Interface

Key Features

• Ethernet with Ravenna interface allows asynchronous data transfer with computer audiosystems and allows cable runs up to 333' with a Cat 5e / Cat 6 cable.
• Use it as a central hub of a highly scalable and expandable network. Multiple MERGING+ANUBIS or Ravenna-/AES67-compliant interfaces can be connected to the network, and Anubis can remotely and locally control, mix, and monitor multichannel content, and route those I/Os.
• Standalone operations. MERGING+ANUBIS SPS can serve as a multichannel analog converter or headphone amp when disconnected from the computer.
• Full 32-bit signal path from analog I/O, via Mixer.
• TFT LCD capacitive multitouch screen.
• Web-based remote control accessible via smartphone, tablet, or computer.
• Rotary control knob allows easy adjustment of volume level. The rotary knob provides access to a comprehensive and intuitive menu within the MERGING+ANUBIS software.
• FPGA-based DSP mixer with effects and ultralow latency for performer foldback/cues.
• Up to 4 x 128 x 8 mix engines.
• Redundant power supply with PoE and DC power.

Two Microphone Preamplifiers

• Two mic preamps offer audio transparency with a huge 139 dB dynamic range with ample headroom.
• 48V phantom power, low-cut filter, pad and boost, phase inversion, stereo linking, and lock and cut features.
• Dual Gain 32-bit AD circuitry uses two A/D converter per input to expand headroom and lower noise floor.
• Split Channel feature enables you to independently control FOH and Monitoring Microphone Gains without any conflict. You can also record a duplicate of the input channel at a different input gain level (for backup or peak safety recording).

Instrument/Line Inputs

• Two instrument/line inputs on front panel. Can be used for Hi-Z instruments or Line inputs.
• Dynamic Range (A-weighted): 136 dB typical.
• Independent gain levels for instrument and line inputs.
• Dual gain and split-channel feature as above.

Monitoring

• Two individual stereo main balanced XLR outputs with mono, dim, mute, level control, and mixing possibilities. Can be used for Main monitor set.
• Two individual stereo main balanced TRS outputs with mono, dim, mute, level control, and mixing possibilities. Can be used for auxiliary monitors of additional Cue Mix.
• Two independent headphones jacks with independent level control.
• Two high-power headphone amps with dedicated DACs.
• Mute switch for any output.
• Adjustable Max, Ref, Dim levels.
• Crossfeed for headphones. Recreate the speakers' stereo image by mixing some signal from the left channel into the right channel, and vice versa.
• Instant access dedicated soft buttons.

Expanded Monitor Features

• The remote allows control of volume level and source selection of any Merging.
• Ravenna Device on the network.
• In the Box and Expandable I/O through Hapi, Horus, or any Ravenna/AES67 devices.
• Up to 8 Monitors capable of up to 22.2 (maximum 32 channels).
• Up to 128 Sources capable of up to 22.2 (maximum 128 channels, with two dedicated to Talkback).
• Up to 256 channels analog, MADI, AES3, SPDIF, and Pro Tools HD I/Os via Ravenna/AES67.
• In-the-box I/O pairing management with Merging devices.
• Any other RAVENNA/AES67 devices pairing using ANEMAN.
• Downmix selector (from mono to 22.2).
• Sources trim (exclusive and sum) selector.
• Bass management.

General Features

• Power-over-Ethernet supplied: IEEE 802.3at compliant.
• GPIO general-purpose input/output for studio (e.g. record light control) or live (e.g. footswitch).
• MIDI input and output for conventional digital sources.
• Connects from/to the computer using standard ASIO on Windows, Core Audio on Mac, or ALSA on Linux.
• Mic-stand mount.
• Kensington security slot.
• Built-in talkback microphone for communication and recording, possibility for two independent Talkbacks.
• 18 save/recall internal presets and unlimited external presets save/recall.
• Mic-pre DAW remote control.
• Built-in Room Correction support for SoundID (Sonarworks).
• Access control: Protect settings and other parameters with a password.
