Yamaha and Steinberg Launch Flagship Audio Post-Production System

Nuage components communicate with each other and up to three DAWs via Dante networking.  A low latency, PCIe Dante audio interface card (for Mac or PC) delivering up to 128 simultaneous, bi-directional channels at 192kHz or 256 at up to 96kHz. As well as making it very straightforward to create custom configurations to match any application, the digital network means that premium audio quality is maintained throughout.

Nuage hardware is modular, providing maximum flexibility for all applications. Components include:
·    Nuage Fader control surfaces: which align with the system’s LCD monitor displays to provide super-smooth visual continuity with the Nuendo mixing window.
·    A Nuage Master control unit: featuring everything needed for Nuendo editing and session management in remarkably efficient user configuration.
·    Nuage Workspace units: that can be used to integrate third party hardware and/or facility-specific custom options.
·    Three Nuage I/O units: providing 16 analogue I/O,16 AES/EBU I/O or eight digital and eight analogue.
·    A PCIe Dante Accelerator card: that gives the computer running the Nuendo extra low latency, multi-channel audio data transfer capability – with redundancy.

“Nuage delivers the ultimate combination of advanced DAW technology, intuitive interface design, flexibility and reliability,” says Nick Cook, European Marketing Director, Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems Europe. “We believe it is a new milestone in post-production technology. It throws the gauntlet down to the industry, demonstrating that Yamaha and Steinberg are determined to become bywords for excellence in audio post-production.”

“The Nuage system is the quintessence of merging dedicated post-production software and hardware seamlessly together into one complete studio environment,” says Steinberg Managing Director Andreas Stelling. “With the Nuage console and Nuendo 6 representing the most sophisticated platform for audio post-production available today, we are delighted to offer existing and new customers a unique approach to achieving higher levels of productivity and quality.”

Inter BEE 2012 takes place at Tokyo’s Makuhari Messe from 14th - 16th November. Yamaha is exhibiting on Stand 4410, Hall 4.
