Nixer RL256 1U Rack-Mounted Audio-Over-IP Monitor

Advanced AoIP Monitoring with Expansive Channel Support

The Nixer RL256 Ravenna is a professional-grade 1U rack-mounted audio-over-IP monitor designed to handle up to 256 Ravenna channels in a compact footprint. Ideal for studios, broadcast control rooms, and networked live environments, it enables users to monitor and assess complex audio networks with precision and efficiency. This unit is equipped with powerful internal amplification, full-range monitoring speakers, and a high-resolution LCD display, bringing clear, real-time insight into every signal path.

Precision Audio Control and Headphone Monitoring

With a built-in headphone amplifier and user-friendly front panel access, the RL256 ensures engineers and operators can instantly route, listen, and verify audio signals on demand. This system is ideal for monitoring high-density Ravenna AoIP networks with ease, enabling engineers to isolate channels quickly and ensure signal integrity in mission-critical workflows. The intuitive interface streamlines navigation, even in fast-paced environments.

High-Fidelity Audio Playback with Internal Amplification

Dual 2-watt amplifiers drive full-range internal speakers, making this unit self-contained and effective for rack-based monitoring without additional equipment. For extended applications, the RL256 also offers stereo line outputs and an AES digital output, giving you the flexibility to route your mixes to external gear or integrate into wider audio infrastructures.

Redundant Power and Network Connectivity for Reliable Performance

Designed with redundancy in mind, the RL256 is powered via an external 24V DC input with a second input available for backup, ensuring operational stability during critical situations. It also features four Primary and four Secondary Ravenna network connectors, giving users ample configuration options for switched or redundant network routing across multiple devices and network segments.

Scalable Monitoring for Complex Broadcast Setups

Built for scale, the RL256’s 256-channel capacity allows it to handle large audio-over-IP environments without compromise. Whether managing live events, broadcast operations, or large-scale studio productions, the RL256 gives users detailed control and scalable monitoring functionality all from a single 1U rack space.

Seamless Integration with Ravenna Audio Networks

Full compatibility with Ravenna and AES67 ensures smooth integration with a wide range of AoIP protocols. This unit is tailored for engineers who need dependable audio routing and listening tools that work seamlessly with modern networked systems. With its robust construction and comprehensive feature set, the RL256 is ready to be deployed in high-demand professional audio environments.
