Professional Dante Audio Monitoring in a 1U Rack Format
The Nixer RL192 Dante Monitor is a 1U rack-mounted audio-over-IP monitoring and mixing solution tailored for professionals who demand precise control and flexibility. With support for up to 192 Dante channels at 48kHz, it offers extensive monitoring capabilities in a compact footprint. Whether used in broadcast control rooms, live production trucks, or post-production suites, the RL192 delivers dependable, high-performance audio monitoring with seamless network integration.
Mix and Listen Modes for Operational Flexibility
Engineers can switch between two distinct operational modes depending on their workflow. In Mix Mode, the RL192 allows users to blend up to 192 Dante input channels, AES input, and microphone input into a stereo output, effectively acting as a 194-to-2 mixer. In Listen Mode, the unit provides a streamlined interface for soloing individual channels—ideal for fast troubleshooting and line checks without disrupting the rest of the mix.
Integrated Monitoring with Headphones and Speakers
The RL192 includes built-in full-range speakers and a front-mounted 3.5mm headphone jack, making it easy to monitor audio directly from the device. The speakers automatically mute when headphones are connected, ensuring seamless switching between private and shared monitoring. Balanced analog line outputs and AES3 digital output on the rear panel offer additional flexibility for routing monitored signals to external systems.
Intuitive Touchscreen Interface for Fast Control
Navigating the RL192’s features is effortless thanks to its bright 6.6" LCD touchscreen. With a resolution of 1440x240 and a responsive capacitive touch panel, users can access metering, routing, and configuration settings with minimal effort. The display presents detailed visual feedback, allowing for confident decision-making in critical monitoring scenarios.
Network and Power Redundancy for Reliable Deployment
This unit features three primary and three secondary Dante network ports for resilient AoIP connectivity. The dual 24V DC power inputs (2.5mm locking connectors) ensure redundancy in mission-critical applications. This dual redundancy setup allows the RL192 to maintain performance even in the event of a network or power fault, making it suitable for demanding installations.
Expandable and Future-Ready Monitoring Capabilities
As audio networks grow more complex, the RL192 is designed to scale with them. Its support for high Dante channel counts, AES3 and analog I/O, and flexible operational modes makes it adaptable to evolving requirements in any professional audio infrastructure.
