NEXT-proaudio has developed on the unified rack solution N-RAK, designed for optimum performance flexibility and setup simplicity. The new rack was configured to interface seamlessly allowing multiple configurations for the entire NEXT-proaudio’s product range. Consisting of a family of two new different models, N-RAK 6 and N-RAK12, all the new N-Raks are equipped with Powersoft T604, featuring Dante audio networking functionality.
These N-RAKs were created as a universal platform developed to facilitate cross-rental between NEXT-proaudio’s Users worldwide and to ensure compatibility with the cabling standard of the systems. The complete N-RAK series comprises N-RAK 6, N-RAK 12, N-RAK 20, N-RAK 40, N-RAK 80.
The new N-RAK 6 and 12 have Dante, AES3 and Analog inputs for multiple connections, making the setup process greatly simplified and much more efficient than the former LA Rack. With the Powersoft amplifiers already built-in and no assembly required, it’s an easy-to-configure, all-in-one amplifier solution that eliminates the process of building amp racks.
The N-RAK touring rack offers an advanced rack solution for all NEXT-proaudio’ systems covering signal and power distribution in a plug-and-play touring package.
The N-RAK versatility extends to delivery as well, since its dimensions were projected to allow easy shipment on European trucks, sea containers and other transportation modes.
The new fully equipped N-RAK 6 and 12 module comprises a compact 4U Customized Rack with two Powersoft T604 (N-RAK12) or one Powersoft T604 (N-RAK6); 2U Audio Distribution Panel in the front; and 2U Power Distribution Panel in the back.
The N-RAK features Armonia software for convenient, simplified and standard control. The complete digital audio signal management system based on ARM Cortex A-8 processor and TI C6000 DSP platform heralds new and innovative level of signal processing, providing non-boolean routing and mixing, multi-stage equalisation with raised-cosine, IIR and FIR filters, delay up to 4 s in input processing and 200 ms for time alignment, gain and polarity adjustment, crossover, peak limiters, TruePower limiters and Active DampingControl.
