Nixer Expands AoIP Offering With Two New ZMAN-based Monitoring Solutions

Nixer Pro Audio, a provider of high-quality audio monitoring and diagnostics tools, has announced the launch of two new products – the PD Ravenna and the RL Series – both powered by Merging Technologies’ ZMAN card.

These solutions are set to expand Nixer’s footprint in the broadcast, live, and installation markets by offering advanced monitoring capabilities across multiple Audio-over-IP (AoIP) standards, including Dante, RAVENNA, AES67, and SMPTE ST 2110.

The PD Ravenna is a compact, portable audio monitoring unit designed specifically for demanding broadcast control rooms and outside broadcast (OB) production vehicles. Capable of monitoring up to 64 RAVENNA/AES67/ST 2110 channels, this device is tailored to meet the needs of professional sound engineers who require reliable and rapid audio confidence checking in fast-paced environments.

The integration of the ZMAN card from Merging Technologies has allowed Nixer to offer a seamless solution for engineers using RAVENNA and other AoIP standards.

The new RL Series takes audio confidence monitoring to the next level, offering four base models with up to 256 channels of audio monitoring. What sets the RL Series apart is its ability to handle both Dante and RAVENNA/AES67/SMPTE ST 2110 networks from the same operator position, allowing engineers to monitor and switch between different network types seamlessly.

Both the PD Ravenna and the RL Series benefit from Nixer’s partnership with Merging Technologies, whose ZMAN card has been integral to the development of these products. This collaboration has allowed Nixer to quickly expand its offerings to include RAVENNA and AES67, in addition to their established Dante-based products.

With the introduction of the PD Ravenna and the RL Series, Nixer continues to solidify its position as a leader in the AoIP space, offering versatile, intuitive solutions that simplify audio monitoring across diverse network environments.
