Anubis is an extraordinary audio interface equipped with mastering-grade analog I/Os and AoIP connectivity. Its impressive internal processing and intuitive touchscreen offer four switchable “Missions” tailored for various audio applications. Anubis is the perfect companion for audio professionals who demand excellence in live or studio environments. Its compact and robust design ensures it thrives in any setting. In RAVENNA/AES67 mode, Anubis supports 256x256 channels; in Dante® mode, it offers 64x64 channels (Audinate license needed). The dual network ports can be set to switch mode for easy daisy chaining with Merging I/O interfaces or third-party devices, or to redundant mode for greater reliability. RAVENNA/AES67 mode supports ST2022-7, NMOS, and LAWO HOME, facilitating easy integration into broadcast environments. Merging’s “Peering” feature allows Anubis to control other Merging or Neumann interfaces on the network, enabling easy expansion and collaboration.

ANUBIS MISSIONS

MUSIC MISSION The music mission features a 48-input mixing console with equalizers, dynamics processing, and reverb, serving as the studio’s centerpiece. It provides up to five ultra-low latency mixes for performers, along with individual talkback channels, making it ideal for tracking sessions. Its customizable user interface and snapshot settings also make it perfect for live performances.

MONITOR MISSION The central node in the control room, Anubis acts as a full monitoring controller, handling source selections, mixdowns, cue management, and talkback. It supports immersive audio systems like 9.1.6 and includes speaker calibration with 336 EQ bands, trims, and delays. Security features protect critical configurations like studio calibration, making it suitable for multi-user facilities.

VENUE MISSION This Mission empowers musicians to customize their own monitor mixes easily for live performances, like orchestras, using a user-friendly 16-channel mixer with intuitive functions. Performers can hear themselves clearly while sharing microphone inputs via AoIP with FOH and monitor mixers. The Venue Mission also excels in Automatic Dialogue Replacement (ADR) applications.

COMMENTARY MISSION The Commentary Mission offers a user-friendly interface for journalists covering live events and sports. Supporting two simultaneous commentators, it was developed with international broadcasters and includes essential communication tools for gallery interactions, making it ideal for remote productions worldwide

ANUBIS PLUGINS

In addition to the various “Missions” that Anubis can run, users have the option to purchase plugins developed by Merging, as well as integrations with select third-party applications, which can be added to compatible missions.

SoundID Reference: This calibration software from Sonarworks ensures accurate studio sound by eliminating unwanted coloration and provides low-latency stereo and multichannel corrections.

Merging Deesser: Minimizes sibilance and harsh high frequencies in dialogue and helps soften harshness in drums and cymbals.

Blackhole Reverb: Created by Eventide, this reverb offers unique virtual spaces and enhances music projects with innovative algorithms.

SPS Premium Features

• ST2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching: The interface features two network ports for ST2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching compliance.
• Sample Rates: From 44.1 to 352.8 kHz (DXD) and 384 kHz (PCM) at a 32-bit resolution, plus high-resolution DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256 formats.
• NMOS: MERGING+ANUBIS SPS is capable of registering itself onto an NMOS server and complying with connection requests from a compliant NMOS Network Manager such as VideoIPath from Nevion (NMOS IS-04 and NMOS IS-05).
• SMPTE ST2110: Merging Technologies has implemented ST2110 and AES67. MERGING+ANUBIS SPS meets the demanding requirements of JT-NM and is self-certified.
• RAVENNA / AES67 Built-In: Using Ravenna/AES67, MERGING+ANUBIS SPS is able to flexibly connect to every single input and output across standard networks, using off-the-shelf network equipment.
• DC- or POE-Powered, or Both: Protect your production with audio-network seamless switching and power switching. Connect MERGING+ANUBIS SPS to DC and POE power supplies. Should one fail, MERGING+ANUBIS SPS will switch to the other seamlessly.
• Switch Mode: MERGING+ANUBIS SPS can be used in switch mode instead of redundant ST2022-7 mode, removing the necessity to have a network switch in scenarios where a DAW simply needs to be connected to the interface for mobile recording.
• Accessible and Controllable Remotely: Anubis configuration, presets, and features are completely accessible remotely for very fast troubleshooting and deployment.
