MODELS - HARDWARE FLAVORS

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

ANUBIS PLUGINS

Optional plugins for MERGING+ANUBIS

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

Anubis with Deesser

MERGING+DEESSER


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.

Deeser Screenshot

MERGING+DEESSER

 

  • Intuitive UI and ease of operations
  • Supported from 44.1kHz up to 352.8kHz (DXD) and 384kHz.
  • Listen feature to isolate and monitor the target sibilant frequencies
  • Multiple Merging+Deesser instances supported per Anubis (from 4 to 20 depending of resources)
  • 18 Snapshots including 6 Factory Snapshots
Merging Online Shop

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.

Note: Supported as of Firmware version 1.4.0 and higher.

Anubis with Blackhole Reverb

MERGING+BLACKHOLE


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.

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 Multichannel


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.

SoundID Reference Multichannel


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!

SoundID Reference


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

EQ-X Logo


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.

SoundID Reference on Anubis


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.

Different headphones corrections


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.

Note: When speaker sets aren’t running simultaneously, there is virtually no limit to the number of speaker sets that can be corrected with SoundID Reference. The music mission only supports stereo.

SoundID Reference


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.
