Nixer RL192 Ravenna 192-Channel Audio over IP Monitor

High Channel Count AoIP Monitoring for Broadcast and Live Sound

The Nixer RL192 Ravenna Monitor is a 1U rack-mounted audio-over-IP monitoring and mixing solution built for professional workflows. Supporting up to 192 Ravenna AoIP channels at 48kHz, it delivers reliable, real-time monitoring and mix control in high-density networked audio environments. Designed for OB vans, control rooms, and complex audio installations, the RL192 provides engineers with full-range speakers, headphone monitoring, and intuitive touchscreen controls in a compact and rugged form factor.

Flexible Monitoring and Mixing Modes for Any Workflow

The RL192 offers two key operational modes to suit various applications. In Mix Mode, it can combine up to 193 sources—192 AoIP channels plus a mic and AES input—into a stereo output. Listen Mode simplifies operations even further by routing a single selected input to the main output with one touch. Whether you're handling multi-channel mixing or solo listening on the fly, the RL192 adapts instantly to the task at hand.

Multiple Output Options for Integrated Signal Paths

Output flexibility is built into the RL192. The unit includes internal full-range speakers for on-rack listening, a 3.5mm headphone jack for personal monitoring, stereo balanced XLR line outputs, and an AES output. Headphones automatically mute the speakers, and all outputs can be configured to track volume or mute settings independently. The stereo mix can also be routed back into the Ravenna AoIP stream for integration with your larger networked system.

Touchscreen Control with Real-Time Visual Feedback

An integrated 6.6-inch color LCD display provides detailed feedback with high-resolution metering, channel routing, and system status. The capacitive touchscreen allows for fast navigation through intuitive menus, eliminating the need for external control devices. Whether configuring routing matrices or adjusting monitoring preferences, the interface is designed for speed and clarity in demanding environments.

Network Redundancy and Professional Connectivity Built In

For mission-critical deployments, the RL192 includes six network ports—three Primary and three Secondary RJ45 connectors—for redundant Ravenna AoIP paths. It also features a 3-pin female XLR AES input and a 3-pin male XLR AES output. The system supports configurable output behavior, allowing outputs to follow the main level control or mute settings based on user preferences. This connectivity ensures fail-safe performance across complex installations.

Redundant Power Support for Continuous Operation

The unit is powered via an external 24V DC adapter and includes a second 2.5mm DC input for power redundancy. Both power inputs include secure screw-lock connections to prevent accidental disconnection during operation. Whether in a mobile rack or a fixed studio installation, the RL192 offers peace of mind through its robust and fail-safe power architecture.

Streamlined Firmware Updates and Compact Installation

Firmware updates are handled easily through the front-panel USB micro AB connector. The RL192's 1U rackmount design is compact yet durable, making it easy to integrate into existing racks without taking up excessive space. Built with professional workflows in mind, it’s ready for use wherever AoIP signal monitoring is required.
