Complete Control
At the core of your studio

How does it sound?
Well, it doesn’t really sound like anything.
Nero gives you the cleanest monitoring path possible.
Precision Matched Stereo Volume
What does it do?
Nero perfectly matches the volume of the left and right channels of your stereo signal using Audient’s custom Precision Matched Attenuation Technology.
How does it help?
Unlike other monitor controllers, this prevents any deviation in volume between your left and right monitors or unbalancing of your stereo image, enabling you to monitor accurately and mix with confidence.
