1000% such high quality and values

I’ve had this unit for about 3 months. I’m happy with it. Only two cons 1. Only one source can be used at a time. I had a cheaper unit that could do this and had become used to having the option. 2. I use the spdif ‘Alt Source’ input fed from the spdif out from my interface. Every time the unit its re-powered, I have to re-select the Alt source as well as re-select spdif.

Thanks you guy for this very helpful video! I've been planning to renew my studio monitor controller which should be around 500 euros in budget wise. I really appreciated that you mentioned and checked about the digital inputs' quality which is very important for me. I finally decided to get the Nero now. Thanks again!

You’re welcome! Out of interest, we’ve had some very high end converters in the studio lately (£10,000 and up!) and they don’t sound any different going through the Nero. It would be an awesome unit at four times the price!

Great review guys. Just what I needed.

Great video! About the device: 100db Dynamic Range Analog. DAC 113db DR.. SPL One 121db analog out. I was debating about these two units. In terms of audio quality specs, SPL won, in terms of features Nero take the lead.

In building out my new studio in a house I bought, ironically, on the day this video was released, I've only recently had the need of a monitor controller. After a ton of research on it I landed on the Nero. AWs my first controller I couldn't be more happy with it. For sound quality I've come to the same conclusion as you, it's fantastic! I was running it using the SPDIF connection for a while but my Hedd Audio Type 30's seem to like a little bit higher input level so I went back to analog. I use an Apogee Ensemble Thunderbolt interface so I still have good AD conversion & don't mind running it this way. It's already become such a part of my workflow that if I were forced to work without it I'd....well, I'd buy another one. Props to Audient!

Hey guys I picked up the Nero and it is indeed a great controller for the money. Nice step up from my well worn Presonus Monitor Control, when comparing the two the uncolored sound of the Nero was very evident. One thing I did notice, and haven't seen mentioned in any reviews, is that the on board headphone amps are a bit lacking when it comes to driving high impedance cans. The Nero couldn't really push my 250 ohm Beyerdynamic DT-880 Pro's, and they sounded pretty anemic until I hooked up a quality headphone amp to the Nero's HP1 out. The sound out of the headphone outs seems just as uncolored and accurate as the rest of the unit, however.

hey guys, great video. I purchased one of these, largely based on your positive null test review. however, when doing my own null test it's immediately clear that this thing, even after a factory reset and pulling the output trim all the way up, loses about 6.1db of the signal just by running it through the Nero. I see other people in forums mentioning this, as well. how did you account for this in your null test? I set the gain on one channel to match best I could (+6.1 db) and still wound up with some noise. my test for the noise may be flawed by my less than new/perfect interface, but I'm certain of the db drop. Is this consistent with your test?

Another outstanding video.

Hahaha love it! Makes me really want to get one for my studio...

Hey I’ve bought one! thanks for your video I guess. One question, Unfortunately my interface has the digital connection but my speakers don’t. Is it ok for me to route from my interface’s spidif/coax to Nero’s spidif/coax and analog out from Nero to my speakers(analog in)? Thanks always!

Cubase Elementary I wouldn’t worry at all, I do a lot of mastering for major labels and so have very little in the chain, and keep that chain as super clean as possible. Whilst I wouldn’t master using the S32 if I had better converters, I would if I didn’t, and many people do! I think the 1824 is a step up from the S32 in terms of output anyway - and you’re only really going to hear the differences in a really well designed room with really high end monitors. So don’t worry! Try the iD14 and compare for mixing - if you find it better then great, if you don’t hear any difference then don’t worry about it 😎

In terms of sound quality it was as transparent as you could hope for, and you can also select more than one input and output source (something you can’t do with the Nero) so you could mix outputs from different sources together, and have more than one set of monitors on at once if you wanted to. So I’d recommend one of those if the Nero’s are hard to get hold of.

It has just a pot, erm... actually, two of them (one for the blend between usb and analog inputs for direct monitoring), the other is the master. The blend pot eats up MUCH of the top-end, leaving me extremely frustrated, so I have to crank that up - but then the mastering pot must be lowered to 10-20% to preserve my hearing. And that pot eats up the lows instead. Want to interchange it with something trasnparent, and more reliable. Might as well buy a DAC, too - we'll see

We can't hear multiple monitors at the same time!...The SUB buton is not ready to work alone so we can't hear only the SUB or even connect a Mono Auratone and to me the more horrible is that we can't hear multiple sources at the same time...So to me, that i bought one unit of this Gear i am disapointed. Also make my monitors Genelec crank whe it turns on! Otherwise great piece of gear...

Hey guys, great video! Could you do a „Audient Nero vs Palmer Monicon XL vs Presonus Monitor Station V2“? They are all within a price range under 400 bucks and seem tasty for each unit itself. :) Cheers and good health! :)

I just bought mine at Sweetwater 8/10/2020. There goes half of my stimulus lol! I needed a new monitor station, my Presonus Central station is going slowly

Congrats, JC! The Central Station was a great unit, but the Nero is way better. Enjoy! Thanks for watching 😎

PresentDayProduction thank you all for the video! New follower

Marmite? Ewww. Vegemite FTW

😂👍🏼

It's great EXCEPT that it caps out at +18db on input, so loads of +20/+24 rated gear clips the fuck out of it at 0dB FS... and not all even have +18 or below as a calibration option.

Puppets? Just don't go any further with that! Please.

Chips and marmite...fuck yeah!

Pretty sure I heard a fart at 9:11, pretty sure I got excited at 11.11, pretty sure the dietary requirements at 14.06 are normal...

Definitely no farts... that would be vile and repulsive and we’d never stoop that low for a laugh. We’re a serious audio production channel, not Peter Sellers in a lift... 😉

Wait, hold on, the complete disapearance of the song playing is due to phase cancellation? No way.... ok. So correct me if i'm wrong, but this Audient Nero Monitor Controller is absolutly dead transparent i mean, litterally. I must have missed a part of the plot there i would have expected phasing or some type of noise. Fuck me.

Yes, that literally is it. It’s transparent!

Can you play the alt and the main at the same time?

No, only one at a time. The same with the inputs. The Drawmer monitor controllers mix inputs and let you hear more than one output at a time
