Designed with meticulous attention to details that make a real difference in the final sound, from parts selection to circuit layout, Nuage I/O audio interface units bring out the full sonic potential of the Nuendo DAW software. They include advanced DSP processing for stereo and surround monitoring, and use Dante network protocol for flexible system design and expansion. Three 16-channel models with different I/O configurations are available, usable individually or in combination for up to 128 channels.
24 bit/192 kHz hardware operation in the Nuage I/O units ensures that the outstanding sonic detail and depth of the Nuendo DAW come through without compromise. The Nuage I/O units also feature advanced JetPLL™ jitter reduction technology for extremely low jitter and superior AD/DA resolution. The overall result is simply outstanding sound, no matter how complex the mix or how much processing is applied.
To artists and musicians trying to lay down tracks in the studio, monitoring latency can be a huge problem that interferes with concentration and stifles creativity. The Nuage I/O units make latency issues a problem of the past thanks to advanced audio interface DSP hardware and “True Integrated Monitoring™” that reduces monitoring latency to well below the perception threshold of even the most sensitive performer. True Integrated Monitoring™ works flawlessly with the Nuendo Control Room monitoring features, a 32 monitor bus cascade, and a 16×16 monitor matrix that contributes to expandability and easy setup.
Surround processing capability is important in any post production system that will be used for a variety of projects. Nuage systems include all the essentials for state-of-the-surround sound, including speaker level/delay adjustments and bass management.
Dante is one of the most popular and well proven audio network protocols in use today, offering outstanding audio transmission quality and reliability as well as unrestricted system design and expandability. Because Nuage systems use Dante for system communication, the connection between I/O unit and computer can be made via a single standard Ethernet cable. In more complex systems using multiple I/O units, standard network hubs and architecture can be used to configure the network as required. Flexible connectivity also means that a Nuage network can be linked to a live sound console, or included in a studio audio sharing installation.

Microphones
Neumann TLM 103
A large-diaphragm cardioid condenser mic boasts a capsule drawn from the U 87 and transformerless circuitry. It’s been used for classical recordings with a wide dynamic range, sampling (especially for very low amplitude sources), and Foley work.
The letters TLM stand for “transformerless microphone”. With TLM technology the usual output transformer is replaced by an electronic circuit. As with traditional transformers, it ensures good common mode rejection and prevents RF interference that may influence the balanced audio signal.
AKG C414 XLS
The most versatile vocal and instrument microphone, which offers nine pickup patterns in addition to the five patterns traditionally offered by the C414 (omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure eight), and four intermediate settings. It also features an astoundingly low noise floor and a 152dB dynamic range, ideal for any musical environment. A locking mode allows for live-sound applications and permanent installations, and a special “Peak Hold” LED displays even shortest overload peaks.
AKG C214
A premium vocal mic, as well on a variety of instruments. A switchable 20dB attenuation pad and low-cut filter, the C214 can be used in sound fields as high as 156dB SPL – good for close miking loud applications such as drum overheads, guitar amps, or high-output brass.
Blue Baby Bottle
The Baby Bottle SL’s overall sonic character is neutral and especially rich in midrange response. This makes it an ideal microphone for recording vocals, drums, electric guitar and most acoustic instruments, including “difficult” sources like saxophones, flutes, and stringed instruments. In addition, the Baby Bottle has extremely low self-noise specs, coupled with an exceptionally high output level.
Electro-Voice RE20 Broadcast Microphone with Variable-D

By controlling the microphone proximity, it can be located very close to sound sources without a loss in clarity or definition, ideal for tight vocals and challenging instruments. It can be used inside bass drums, on acoustic guitars, and is found in voice booths and broadcasting studios everywhere.
