The NEXUS STAR audio-router system was designed by Stage Tec for the most extensive routing requirements typically found, in broadcast centres, large production companies, and exhibition grounds. The NEXUS STAR is a routing node serving as the core of a NEXUS installation and interconnecting numerous NEXUS Base Devices scattered over separate studios and apparatus areas via optical cables.
It is a versatile audio-network and routing system for controlling studio or mixing-desk resources, for apparatus-area and broadcast-complex networking, for OB trucks, sound reinforcement, and for any other professional audio technology applications.
