Linea Research NSC24 Networked System Controller

The Networked System Controller from Linea Research delivers precise, high-quality audio and intuitive system configuration for sound systems. Available in three models, its ASC48-derived architecture ensures dependable operation and consistently superior sound, setting a new standard in performance.

The advanced 96kHz digital signal processor offers unique and useful features. In-house designed DSP algorithms are exclusive to Linea Research. For example, LIR (Linear Impulse Response) crossover filters are as easy to use as conventional filter shapes. They also provide lower latency than FIR filters. The powerful VX Limiter suite includes Peak and RMS limiting. It also provides multiband limiting for passive 2-way enclosures.

Supporting analogue, AES3, and Dante inputs and featuring analogue and Dante outputs, the NSC series makes it suitable for the most demanding applications, especially when flexibility is paramount.

When used as a loudspeaker management system or a digital crossover, the NSC Series delivers state-of-the-art features and performance. The NSC Series can receive, process, and transmit audio without leaving the digital domain. This makes the NSC Series an ideal audio controller for small, medium, and large systems. It remains effective even when amplifiers with in-built DSP are used.

The Ethernet connection on the NSC enables remote control, while a front panel optimised for challenging environments provides full local control. Control and telemetry via Linea’s intuitive System Engineer software application offers convenient, time-saving features, such as flexible management of presets and Group control.
