Merging Technologies ANUBIS PREMIUM SPS – Premium RAVENNA/AES67 Audio Interface & Monitor Controller

OVERVIEW

The Merging Technologies ANUBIS PREMIUM SPS is the ultimate evolution of Merging’s acclaimed compact network audio platform. Designed and assembled in Switzerland, it combines mastering-grade analogue circuitry, reference-quality AD/DA conversion, advanced monitor control and powerful FPGA-based DSP into a single desktop unit. Supporting 32-bit PCM up to 384kHz, DXD (352.8kHz) and native DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256, the Premium SPS model is purpose-built for engineers working in high-resolution recording, mastering, broadcast, post-production and immersive audio environments.

Unlike conventional desktop interfaces, ANUBIS PREMIUM SPS operates as the heart of a professional RAVENNA/AES67 Audio-over-IP network. The addition of ST 2022-7 Seamless Protection Switching (SPS) provides fully redundant network connectivity for mission-critical broadcast and live production applications, while NMOS compliance ensures seamless integration into modern IP-based infrastructures. Two premium microphone/line preamps, two instrument/line inputs, four analogue outputs and dual independent headphone amplifiers provide exceptional flexibility for recording, monitoring and production.

A responsive capacitive touchscreen, precision rotary encoder and configurable hardware controls place powerful monitoring, cue mixing, talkback and routing functions directly at your fingertips. Whether operating as a standalone monitor controller, a high-end recording interface, a network audio hub or the centrepiece of a larger Merging Technologies system, ANUBIS PREMIUM SPS delivers uncompromising sonic performance with the reliability and precision expected from one of the world’s most respected professional audio manufacturers.
