We need an all in one version between Nero and ID44 🙏🎼😁
oh my f***ing god! this is awesome! My Presonus Monitor Station V2 is gonna be visiting the 2nd hand selling store sooner than i thought!
same here.
Mine just arrived today. It's overkill for now, but just so flexible and future-proof for my needs. My poor old Duet 2 was getting a little long in the tooth, though it has certainly earned it's place in a gilded frame for it's years of sturdy service!! :)
Nice work lads!
I am strongly considering this product. What would sell me in a heartbeat is if this had a rack mount I/O to go along with the desktop controller. It’s just a hassle having a lot of cords on your desk
Awesome. Very well designed with all the clever functions. Yep, i need an upgrade for my Presonus Monitor Station V2 as well which is great function wise, but the build quality is not on par with my other audient stuffs.
very cool!
Beautiful Device, Quick question, what Brand is the smaller audio monitor? Thank you
It's a shame the sub cuts out when you engage the mono button. Makes it difficult to check phase on a 2.1 system where the 2 satellite speakers are quite small. Don't really understand why the sub has to cut out when in mono, as the sub is already a mono output, surely?
wow, all in one compact pack !
I love my Nero, I replaced the Persons Central Station after it started to malfunction
You guys should make a single knob controller like a Mackie Big Knob. With your precision matched attenuation technology it would be a much better product. I need a volume knob to lower the output volume of my RND Portico MBP because I can't drive the transformers without clipping the ADC on my interface.
I'm curious about the kit on the left of the desk... is that is an Audio Interface? It looks nice with that set-up and I'm looking to upgrade my interface as well.
Hey Dale, That is one of our iD44 Audio Interfaces. We have a bunch of videos here on our channel going over it's features, or you can have a read about it at audient.com/iD44
Ei Audient, how do i connect a subwoofer to the audient Nero i just bought? Just plug a Mono Jack from the SUB out on the back to the L in on the Sub? because on my Focal Sub One there is two conectors, Left and Right. Thank you if you can answer. I cant find anything about this metter on the web. How actually connect a Sub to the Audient Nero.
If your Sub has a stereo input then we would recommend just plugging a single TRS jack from the SUB output to the LEFT input of the SUB. You'd then just need to trim the sub slightly louder to make up for the missing channel.
i have got Audient ID14 so can i connect it with this gear ? and can i manage the recording sessions ? and if yes then how ? because i am pretty impressed with the ID14 and i really want to expand it.
Hi there, yes you can use this with the iD14 - please drop support@audient.com an email and we'll try and work out whats the best setup for you. Thanks.
Just got a unit but unsure how to setup with a sub as the output is mono and most subs have L R in and L R out. so do you just connect the output to the L input of the sub ? thanks
If your Sub does have a stereo input then you can just connect the left channel and turn the sub's trim up slightly to compensate for the missing channel
Can I adjust the frequency fed to the monitors when the sub is engaged?
Like a 90hz crossover? and then when it isn't engaged it returns the full signal to the other monitors?
There is no built in crossover on the Nero, any crossover controls will need to be done on the Sub itself or with an outboard crossover device.
Combine the Nero with the ID22 or 44 and still have the ability to bypass the preamps to use the converters! 🙏
When are we getting a rack mounted audio interface with all these features? My desk is getting a little crowded
Probably never... people are not running large studios anymore with equipment racks so this tabletop stuff is what's selling :/
@@Mtaalas Tell that to UAD, Slate and all the other companies that are still building rack versions. . Perfect example is the new apollo x series . I actually own an id44 but I would like a rack version interface from audient.
I want to go All audient setup I have two ASP 880 and when the rack ASP interface comes out i hope alone with nero add on
Is the main headphone amp powerful enough to use and mix with 300ohm Sennheiser HD600 headphones? Or what is the recommended ohms for main headphone out?
Thanks!
The Nero will drive up to 600 Ohm headphones, the actual volume you get will depend on the sensitivity of the headphone drivers themselves, however. You shouldn't have any issues driving a pair of HD600's with the Nero for most monitoring purposes.
i see you also used the analog input for your audio interface. Isn't the quality the best via SPDIF?
There's very little difference between the audio quality of the two types of Input. The iD44 we used has great sounding DAC's and using balanced cables means that any noise picked up from the cable is cancelled out. Similarly, the DAC used on Nero is great sounding as well so a digital input will sound just fine.
The Volume control on Nero is all done in the analog domain (albeit with digital control) so you don't need to worry about your analog inputs going through multiple AD/DA stages.
If you're unsure of the quality of the DAC/Interface you are using before Nero then the S/PDIF inout may give you slightly better quality audio but in most applications, the differences will be negligible. We simply included these inputs to give plenty of flexibility.
Is it possible to play multiple outputs at once? Like Main, Alt 1 and Alt 2 all together?
This isn't possible I'm afraid, selecting a speaker output will switch off which ever speaker output was selected previously
The external talkback mic input and associated routing is excellent. However I'm not seeing a remote TB engage, nor a footswitch option. So if a producer is in a different space, they can have a mic to talk to the artist but have no means by which to engage TB. That's the one thing holding me back from purchasing this for a studio I use.
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, remote talkback activation isn't an option on the Nero.
Can I have all inputs (cue, alt, src 1, and src2) active at the same time on all headphones?
It is only possible to assign a single source to a headphone output at one time I'm afraid.
Considering buying one as I have multiple speakers. Question tho, I see the aux feature. Would I be able to play whats in my DAW on my phone with this feature? Hearing my mixes on the phone is a big thing to me (as most people listen on a phone nowadays anyway).. if u could let me know, much appreciated!
The Aux in feature will simply take audio from a portable device so you can play audio from your phone. You'll have to find a way to export your mix onto your phone first however.
@@Audientworld figured that's what it does. Was just hopeful I'd be able to play whats in my daw, on my phone lol that would be next level. Still interested tho I need a controller and u guys are the best. Thank u. Any chance there'll be a black friday sale? 👀👀👀 lol
@@gusdee4844 you can try the audreio app it allows you to stream from a vst on the Master to the phone; you can then listen over phone speakers or over headphones. However in my opinion the sound sounds a little different when exported and then played over the phone
Is this going to be built into a new generation of digital desks?
🔥💪🏽🔥💪🏽🔥💪🏽
Does anyone know what laptop stand is being used for the MacBook in this video?
We were actually using a single IsoAcoustics Iso-stand meant for studio monitors. Worked a treat!
can different monitor output sets be routed from different src inputs and be saved?
I'm afraid that isn't currently possible on Nero
@@Audientworld well now that Oria is out, maybe a MK II ver of Nero is on the way? for more flexibility and ATMOS integrated Monitor Controller.
How to plug Subwoofer? Sub Out Mono from Nero to Left Input on Subwoofer? My Subwoofer does not have a dedicated Mono Input.
Yes, you can just use the left input of the sub. If there is a volume discrepancy because of this, you can trim the sub up slightly to make up for this.
Can I have two sources playing through two stereo outputs at the same time?
It isn'y possible to have two inputs playing through two monitor outputs at the same time. You could set it up so that one source is playing back through a monitor output and the other source is playing back through a Headphone output. The headphone output can then be split to feed a pair of monitors.
possible to run two speaker pairs at the same time?
You aren't able to run two pairs of speakers as the same time I'm afraid.
@@Audientworld ok thx 4 info. please can you answer the questions from here too: www.gearslutz.com/board/product-alerts-older-than-2-months/1263997-audient-introduces-nero-desktop-monitor-controller-5.html?posted=1#post14496294 or someone from your staff. thx
I was about to order this one, but then I saw that it isn't possible to have more than one source active at a time, which made it a no-go for my needs. :( Please make this (optionally) possible in a V2 if you ever make one. I want the coax (Windows system audio such as Spotify/UA-cam/WinAmp) always on and then switch between cue/src1/src2 (various monitor mixes from the DAW)
Thank you for your feedback, Im afraid it wouldn't be possible to add this to the current Nero but as you mention it may be a good feature for any future monitor controllers!
Why is there only 1 out for the sub?
Hi Shane, The sub only requires one output as typically you would use a single mono subwoofer speaker with Nero.
QUESTION please if any one can answer this .can 2 input sources be playing at the same time ? Like src 1 + alt or+ src 2 at the same time ??? As well as 2 monitor output sources playing at the same time like 2 pairs of monitors at the same time ? ..this is because i use the a 1 src to play music and src 2 to practice piano at the same time....as well as 2 pairs of monitors to listen to music for more fuller sound ..please and thank you in advance
Hi there - Unfortunately the Nero doesn't work like this. You can only select one source at a time.
@@Audientworld would that be an update in the future? Or would that be a version 2 of the Nero? Thank you for the response love your products but this is a feature a lot of people would need to have at home recording
There aren't any plans to add this, nor are there current plans for a Version 2 of the Nero at this time. but we appreciate the feedback.
@@Audientworld thank you have a great day !
hi guys, can anybody pls tell me how to connect the nero with my mixer ( soundcraft signature 22) ? i have 2 pair of speakers. i plug the speakers into main speaker and alt 1. but where and how do i connect the mixer with it? thx in advance. cheers
You would take the Main outputs of the desk that you'd like to listen to and feed this into SRC 1. You can then take other outputs (Cue Mixes...etc) and feed this into SRC 2 or the CUE input for other monitoring options.
@@Audientworld Thanks a lot! much appreciated
I'd love a smaller 1 source input 2 monitor output version of this, $500 is too steep for an a/b switch for my needs
Please make a light version
So no console quality mic pre in this one?
Nero is a monitor controller rather than an audio interface so there is no need for a recording console preamp on board. The Talkback mic pre does actually use a similar topology to the console mic preamps, but it isn't the same.
yes the talk back mic
