About Audient Nero

Be in command of your studio with the Nero Desktop Monitor Controller, a product steeped in over two decades of analogue console heritage. This device is engineered to offer you robust control over your monitoring, featuring a wide array of I/O, console-style monitor control, and Precision Matched Attenuation Technology. The Nero Desktop Monitor Controller is destined to become the heart of your studio operations.

As your studio expands, maintaining control can become a challenge. The Nero Desktop Monitor Controller simplifies this process by centralizing, connecting, and controlling all your monitoring needs from one user-friendly desktop controller. It perfectly matches the volume of the left and right channels of your stereo signal using Audient's custom Precision Matched Attenuation Technology. This unique feature ensures no deviation in volume between your left and right monitors or unbalancing of your stereo image, allowing you to monitor accurately and mix with confidence.

The Nero Desktop Monitor Controller is equipped with a variety of stereo inputs, including 2x Stereo Inputs for your interface, a Dedicated Cue Mix for better artist monitoring, a Mini Jack Input for your phone, and RCA Inputs for your media player. This array of inputs allows you to centralize, connect, and control all your monitoring needs from your desktop.

The device also offers multiple output options. Reference your mixes on up to three sets of speakers, independently set and match volume for all speakers, and audition and assign your sub to any monitor path. With one dedicated monitor grade headphone amp and three foldback grade headphone amps, the Nero Desktop Monitor Controller ensures you're prepared for even the loudest of sessions with crystal clear headphone mixes.

The Nero Desktop Monitor Controller also features Smart Touchpoints, allowing you to customize your workflow on the fly. Easily route and configure Nero's outputs and monitor controls to create monitoring combinations that suit your needs. With its all-metal construction and Obsidian Black finish, the Nero Desktop Monitor Controller is designed to look and feel great in any studio.

The Nero Desktop Monitor Controller comes bundled with a free suite of creative software including Cubase LE and Cubasis LE for iOS, alongside industry-leading plugins and virtual instruments, enabling you to start recording as soon as you open the box.
