Riedel Expands Its Range Of NSA Network Stream Adapters
Riedel Communications has announced the launch of two new additions to its acclaimed Network Stream Adapter (NSA) series: the NSA-003A and NSA-006A. These interfaces are designed to advance IP-based audio and intercom workflows, offering unparalleled flexibility, reliability, and seamless integration for professionals in broadcast, live events, and studio environments.
The NSA-006A is designed specifically for audio workplace environments, offering a robust set of features tailored to modern IP-centric workflows. Its universal inputs (Mic, Line, and AES3) and outputs (Line and AES3) provide format-agnostic flexibility with physical connection detection for every audio port, as well as automatic switching on the inputs. The compact device also includes a stereo USB-audio interface, a headphone output with volume control via rotary knob and LED volume bar, and three GPIOs for enhanced flexibility. Its rugged design and comprehensive feature set make it indispensable for commentary and voice-over booths, control rooms, and off-site productions.
The NSA-003A is a versatile 2-wire analog intercom adapter that combines a compact design with advanced functionality. With two physical 2-wire connections, this interface allows connections between up to four third-party analog partylines and digital/IP-based intercom systems like Artist and Bolero. The inclusion of a stereo USB-audio interface facilitates easy streaming of audio from a connected device directly into the AoIP network, while three GPIOs enhance the device with call and mic mute capabilities via external buttons. Together with auto echo cancellation support, this feature set makes the NSA-003A an essential tool for production environments where reliability, flexibility, and interoperability are paramount.
Both new models are designed with IP-centric workflows in mind, supporting open standards such as AES67, SMPTE 2110-30 and 31, and NMOS IS-04, IS-05, IS-07, and IS-08. They feature dual PoE and SMPTE 2022-7 redundancy with in-band or out-of-band management, ensuring reliable performance even in the most demanding conditions. Built for silent fan-less operation in environments up to 30 °C, the NSAs also have a temperature-controlled fan for use in temperatures as high as 55 °C. With their compact 1 RU 1/3-rack size, they offer versatile mounting options, including desktop, wall, rack, and VESA mounting configurations.
