Agera Acoustics NR-48P 4-In/8-Out Digital Speaker Management Processor

The Agera Acoustics NR-48P is a digital loudspeaker management processor for larger portable and installed sound systems. It has 4 inputs and 8 outputs on a fully assignable matrix, so any input can be routed to any output independently. Processing runs on a 32-bit SHARC DSP at a 48kHz sampling rate with 24-bit AD/DA converters for high-quality, low-latency audio. Crossovers can be set with Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley or Bessel filter types, allowing precise tuning of virtually any loudspeaker configuration, and the inputs use British A-grade preamps. The extra outputs make it well suited to multi-zone and multi-speaker systems. Configuration and monitoring are handled from a laptop over USB with the included PC software, and the unit has an on-screen digital display. Daisy-chain capability lets several processors be linked together to build larger, more complex audio management systems. The NR-48P is housed in a compact rackmount chassis measuring 480 x 45 x 205 mm and weighs about 2.5 kg, suitable for touring racks and permanent installations. Typical applications include professional PA systems, large sound installations, churches and houses of worship, rental and production companies, and live events and touring systems.
