Powerful Dante Monitoring in a 1U Rack Solution
The Nixer RL64 Dante is a compact yet powerful 64-channel Dante monitor and mixer designed for critical audio monitoring in broadcast, live, and studio environments. This 1U rack-mounted unit offers a streamlined interface and feature-rich functionality for monitoring audio-over-IP networks, making it ideal for operations engineers and system integrators. With its 64x2 mix engine, built-in amplification, and extensive connectivity, it simplifies the monitoring workflow without sacrificing performance or control.
Flexible Channel Mixing with Visual Feedback
Equipped with a 64x2 channel mixer, the RL64 allows users to mix up to 64 Dante input channels into a stereo output. Each input offers control over level, pan, and pre-fade listen (PFL), giving users the precision they need in real-time scenarios. The large full-color LCD display delivers clear and immediate feedback, making it easy to view levels, signal paths, and configuration settings directly from the front panel.
Built-In Amplification and High-Quality Monitoring Tools
The RL64 Dante Monitor includes a built-in dual 2-watt amplifier powering full-range internal speakers for direct rack-based monitoring. For private listening, a high-grade headphone amplifier ensures accurate signal reference. The unit also features stereo line outputs via 3-pin XLR connectors for routing mixes to external systems, plus an AES3 input and output for integrating with digital broadcast or production gear.
Reliable Power and Redundant Network Options
Designed for critical applications, the RL64 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) as well as a redundant 24V DC input, ensuring continuous operation even in case of a power source failure. Dual Dante network ports allow for either redundant or switched network configurations, giving users added reliability in complex networked environments.
AES67 and Dante Compatibility for Seamless Integration
The RL64 supports Dante and AES67 protocols, enabling smooth integration across different AoIP standards and systems. Whether you're managing an all-Dante network or bridging with AES67-compliant gear, the RL64 fits right into your setup without the need for external converters or additional interfaces.
Efficient Design for Broadcast and Installation Racks
Occupying a single rack unit and measuring less than 120mm deep, the RL64 is easy to install in OB trucks, machine rooms, or studio racks where space is limited. Its front-facing controls, compact size, and rugged construction make it well-suited for professional deployments in any high-pressure environment.
