MERGING+ANUBIS – Discover the Anubis hardware with the introductionary video.

Anubis has two variants: MERGING+ANUBIS and MERGING+ANUBIS SPS. SPS offers an additional network connection for either redundancy or to eliminate an external switch, while Anubis offers an EtherCon connector for extra connectivity reliability. Your choice of model depends on your usage profile. As with other Merging products, both versions are offered in Pro or Premium. If 192kHz is the limit for you, go for Pro. If you are into true Hi-Res Audio and work in DXD/384kHz or in DSD, you will need Premium.

Whichever flavor you choose, you get the same beautiful unibody case crafted from a single piece of aluminium with the same multi-touch display with all the same control possibilities. ONE OF A KIND – whatever the flavor.

Missions – Modular Applications

From the initial recording through to the final master, there are specific ‘missions’ that require precision and control. MERGING+ANUBIS gives you complete control to choose the ‘mission’ application to accomplish each stage – effortlessly.

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., so you will be in the Monitor Mission. If your mission is to record the band or rehearse for the next gig, you will be in the Music Mission controlling the extraordinarily powerful ultra-low-latency mixer and feeding individual cue mixes to each musician. Anubis gives you that “Mission Control” in a single, compact device that has unrivalled capabilities defined by the software application. MERGING+ANUBIS allows the user to choose the Mission Controller app that fits the task. ONE OF A KIND.

Apply effects to your performers’ ultra-low latency cue mixes and give them the perfect listening environment with Equalization, Compression and Reverb on their channel inputs to get the best performance out of your artist. Those effects can be used in standalone, or can be routed back to a DAW for recording or for loopback processing applications.

3 SENDS for Externals

Users can also use their favorite external hardware. If you have a distortion pedal or an analog hardware EQ, the Music Mission has 3 SENDS for externals so that you can quickly integrate those into the mixer and apply those effects to any Channel Strip.

Monitor Mission

The concept of software based Missions allows for designing very versatile and highly dedicated applications, upgradable in time, and precisely targeting the requirements of today’s professionals. The Monitor Mission is the central node of all Music and Recording Studios, its extreme sound quality fulfills the essential requirement of all Mastering Studios. The large number of supported surround formats will please all Film and TV Post Studios and its AolP standards support makes it the perfect choice for Broadcast Studios, OB Vans or Editing Rooms. The Anubis compactness and robustness makes it the ideal choice for Location Recording and Live Events monitoring.

Monitor System

From mono to immersive setup, the Anubis Monitor Mission is the center of audio monitoring operations. The touch screen TFT, the dedicated buttons and the encoder enable direct access from basic to advanced functions of the speaker system, headphones and cues. This includes metering, bass management, room correction, delays and downmix on all 32 output channels. Audio I/O channels can be extended to other devices such as Horus, Hapi or any AES67/RAVENNA device via the Peering feature directly accessible from the Anubis screen. Updating workflows for immersive audio playback is as simple as it gets.

During a recording session, in addition to precision monitoring of the performance, a complete talkback circuitry enables easy communication. Any audio (over IP) sources including the built-in mic can act as a talkback input.

Monitor Calibration

Under the hood, Anubis embeds some DSP for audio filtering and mixing purpose. In a monitor controller, filters are very useful in many situatons such as room correction, bass management, active channel speaker
filtering, headphone adjustment, etc. Each output channel can be adjusted with a parametric EQ offering visual and precise adjustments.

On each speaker set, bass management may be engaged and the output channels may be shared and/or split. This offers wonderful flexibility for any speakers system setup. As an example LFE channels can be routed to the subwoofer in Speaker set A and the same subwoofer can drive the bass content in Speaker set B. You can then go from A to B with a simple click or via a footswitch event.

On top of filtering, delays up to 200ms may be added on the 32 output channels for Speaker position adjustment and/or video synchronization.

Sources Selection, Summing & Auto-Downmi

Whether monitoring through a Speakerset, Headphones or a Cue, you can listen to any available Source regardless of its format. The auto dowr mixer can make it fit whichever format you want to listen in. Anubis handles everything from mono all the way to Dolby 9.1.6, Auro and even NHK 22.2!

Anubis even allows to *on the fly’ monitor any Ravenna/AES67 stream present on the network without needing to configure it as a source. Ideal to keep large AolP networks well onto the radar.

Merging’s 30 years of leadership in pioneering technologies such as DSD/DXD means you get the ultimate digital audio summing right within your monitoring box.

Anubis Plugins

Optional Plugins For Merging+Anubis

Anubis can host optional plugins developed by Merging, available for purchase on the Merging Online Store.

Merging+Deesser

The Merging + Deesser comes as an option that can be purchased from the Merging Online Shop.

At purchase a key will be issued and needs to be entered in the Merging License Manager from either: MAD, VAD, ANEMAN or MT Discovery to activate the plugin in the Music Mission.

Add-on Anubis plugin used to attenuate, reduce sibilance or harsh high-frequency sounds that come from dialogue, vocals, instruments or percussions. Sibilance is a type of sound that often seems harsh in the context of a recording. Typically, “S and *T* are the worst offenders. The Merging+Deesser can also be used to remove the harshness of drums cymbals (Overhead mics).

Once purchased and authorised the Merging+Deeseer is available in the ultra-low latency Mixer of Anubis and ideal for singers tracking vocals live, it can also be used on mixes to remove harshness.

• Intuitive UI and ease of operations
• Supported from 44, Iktz up to 352. 8kt. (OXD) and 38AkHt.
• Listen feature to isolate and monitor the target sibilantfrequencies
• Multiple Merging+Deesser instances supported per Anubis (from 4 to 20 depending of resources)
• 18 Snapshots including 6 Factory Snapshots

Merging+Blackhole

The Merging +Blackhole comes as an option that can be purchased from the Merging Online Shop.

At purchase a key will be issued and needs to be entered in the Merging License Manager from either: MAD, VAD, ANEMAN or MT Discovery to activate the plugin in the Music Mission.

The Eventide Blackhole add-on for Anubis is a classic Eventide reverb effect capable of producing huge spaces and out-of-this-world soundscapes.

Most reverbs are earth-bound and constrained by the physics of the real world. The Eventide Blackhole reverb breaks the rules by allowing you to create virtual spaces that could never exist in reality (or at least the one we inhabit). At large sizes, its soft attack and lingering, harmonic tails allow it to really shine on guitars, strings, and pads. At small sizes, those very same qualities can add an angelic sheen to vocals or turn a simple drum track into an otherworldly rhythm section.

The Blackhole user interface is designed with an emphasis on user control and playability. Specifically, the knobs are easily adjusted with an up-and-down motion of the finger, and all controls produce a smooth change in the audio, allowing you to glitchlessly shape the effect as you desire.

Blackhole was designed to give you extensive control, allowing you to craft your own signature sounds. Included with Blackhole is a set of 18 Anubis Snapshots presets.

• Reverb effect with extraordinary possibilities
• Algorithm from the Eventide DSP4000 and H8000 hardware
• Intuitive UI and ease of operations
• Supported from 44.1kHz up to 352.8kHz (DXD) and 384kHz
• Modulation and feedback adjustable resonance parameter
• 18 Snapshots including 6 Factory Snapshots

3rd Party Add-Ons

Anubis opens to third party add-ons

The power of Anubis can be fully realized when partnered with other trusted suppliers that enhance the productivity and utility of the appropriate Mission.

SoundID Reference from Sonarworks

While SoundID Reference standalone software offers 3 different filter types (low latency, mixed and linear phase), Anubis enables SoundID Reference correction using Pyramix acclaimed EQ-X filter topology.

EQ-X is a mastering EQ used since many years by our mastering customers on thousands of award winning records around the world.

The state space filter design of this Extreme Definition Equalizer has been specifically optimized to deal with the highest audio resolutions while still permitting very low noise & distortion, typically offering a THD+N of better than -110dB, throughout the entire audible (and even non-audible) range. Of course, this new digital filter’s topology, while designed with high sample rate in mind, also offers the extra benefits and low noise to 1FS equalization.

Anubis helps you mix in the right listening environments for your different delivery requirements.

SoundID Reference can export to Anubis different corrections curves for the room response to be flat or match a Dolby Atmos Music target, a user custom target or translation check curves (emulating cars, cellphones, laptops, etc…).

At a touch of a button Anubis can recall the required correction, for quick comparisons or changes.

All speaker sets of the same control room can be corrected.

Anubis remembers the selected correction for each speaker set and activates it as the user toggles between near fields, mid fields and any other alternate speaker set.

Whether using the monitoring or the music mission, Anubis is the perfect headphones cue station. Anubis can now run a lot more SoundiD Reference corrections at the same time.

For example, a main stereo speaker set can be corrected in the control room, plus 5 simultaneous different headphones. Or a 7.1.4 speaker set plus 3 different headphones. And even a 9.1.6 speaker set plus 2 different headphones cues.

The process is as simple as this: purchase the relevant version of SoundID Reference from any Sonarworks dealer or online store, get Anubis from your favorite Merging dealer and you are ready to go!

Should you wish to run a SoundID Reference multichannel correction onto Anubis, head to the Merging online store in order to purchase an Anubis Sonarworks multichannel license.

Are you a fan of Sonarworks headphones correction? Treat yourself to one of the best headphones amps used by top engineers around the world.

MERGING+ANUBIS is the first hardware to enable a SoundID Reference correction outside of the computer. No need to worry about inserting SoundID Reference plugin or software on the DAW anymore.

SoundID Reference is a speaker and headphone calibration software from Sonarworks removing unwanted coloration and delivering accurate studio reference sound. With SoundId Reference you can stop second-guessing yourself and trust that every mix will translate. You’ll hear a flat, consistent sound wherever you work from.

Anubis now supports SoundID Reference Multichannel corrections all the way to Dolby Atmos 9.1.6!

Give your studio/ OB van/ headphones a SoundID correction in no time.

For those wanting to calibrate their rooms manually, Anubis offers 336 EQ bands with trims and delays!

Since Anubis is meant to be the center of the studio, having SoundiD Reference correction running brings confidence that no matter which source you are listening to (DAW, Computers, live mics, etc…) you can be confident SoundID Reference correction will be applied at the lowest possible latency.

• Less than 0.35ms at 44.1/48 kHz
• Less than 0.19ms at 88.2/ 96kHz
• Close to ZERO! at 176.4/ 192kHz/ DXD and 384kHz
