EVOLVING MISSIONS

From the initial recording through to the final master, there are specific “missions” that require precision and control. If your mission of the day is to create a great mix, you need to be in complete control of your monitoring: reference monitors, nearfields, headphones, sources, surround mix, downmix, etc. Anubis gives you that “Mission Control” in a single, compact device that has unrivaled capabilities defined by the software application. But this is only one mission, MERGING+ANUBIS allows the user to choose the Mission Controller app that fits the task. Today, Anubis offers a first mission – ANUBIS+MONITOR.

NETWORK CONTROL

Anubis not only offers exceptional in-the-box features, it also allows for expanding its capabilities to any other RAVENNA/AES67 devices on the network. From stereo to 22.2 monitoring, from a four-piece rock band to a full symphony orchestra, Anubis puts you in control of any situation. Whether you are one meter from your equipment or kilometers away, take control directly from its superb touch screen, tablet or computer through the Anubis built-in web server.

MERGING QUALITY

This ultra-mobile and stylish unibody case offers astonishing A/D performance with a dynamic range of 139 dB with equally impressive mic pres. Pristine D/A technology ensures that you hear what your project deserves. Anubis come in two variants: Anubis Pro gives you exceptional performance up to 192 kHz. 

ULTIMATE SOUND QUALITY

Killer headphone circuit! Merging has invested great efforts in designing the best ever headphone preamplifier, offering the precision you need to evaluate your mix whatever the sample rate.

Anubis is engineered with the latest generation converter technology, coupled with 28 years of experience in designing excellence reference quality. A 32-bit signal path from input to output via the mixer, combined with the latest circuit design, its short audio signal path decreases the latency and improves the power distribution. Phenomenal performance at any sample rate!

DUAL GAIN 32-BIT A/D CIRCUITRY

Not only does this provide huge dynamic range with ample headroom, but you can control the gain independently for different circuits with clickless steps. It also allows for software add-ons. Creative innovation!

SPLIT CHANNEL ON ALL INPUTS

Every input has a separate split gain control for sending them to different paths. Typically, one for the recording device and one for the FOH.

EXCEPTIONAL MECHANICS

Anubis is not a piece of bent metal with a few knobs on the top. It may be a small desktop unit, but it is beautifully crafted from a single piece of aluminum. Inside is a miracle of production engineering under the guidance of masters of the miniature, Sonosax... Swiss engineering at its best!

BACKPACK PORTABILITY

Anubis is designed to go with you everywhere. Its rugged design and carry case with a weight of 950g and dimensions of 200 x 128 x 40 mm, make it ideal for stuffing in a backpack. It fits easily on your desktop or can be mounted on a microphone stand.

SUPERB SPECIFICATIONS

Merging has a reputation for getting it right when it comes to audio quality and we have years of experience. It would be surprising if Anubis was any less than the best we can achieve. Great sound is only part of the story, just look at the performance measurements.

Connectivity

The Anubis interface has two analog high-quality combo connectors and an additional two front line/instrument analog inputs. On the output side, you get two gold plated XLR and two TRS jacks. In addition, there are two independent stereo headphone jacks with the best quality amplification Merging has ever done. There is also MIDI IO or GPIO and the all-important AES67/RAVENNA connector.
