The Merging Technologies Anubis Pro is a ground-breaking new audio interface that adapts to any workflow. Perfect for recording, mixing, or producing, the Anubis is equipped with two premium Swiss-engineered preamps, pristine-sounding ADDA converters, two high-quality headphone preamps, and RAVENNA/AES67 connectivity for networked audio systems. And with additional software functionality available in the form of the downloadable “Missions”, the capabilities of the Anubis are virtually limitless.

The power of Anubis can be fully realized when partnered with other trusted suppliers that enhance the productivity and utility of the appropriate Mission. Unlock the full potential of MERGING+ANUBIS with SoundID Reference. SoundID Reference is integrated directly in MERGING+ANUBIS interface for the lowest possible latency and highest convenience without using a plugin or an app.

SoundID Reference for Multichannel
Anubis now supports SoundID Reference Multichannel corrections all the way to Dolby Atmos 9.1.6. Please note: a separate license is required to run a SoundID Reference multichannel correction.

CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN

The Anubis is equipped with two mastering-grade preamps with 139 dB of headroom for unparalleled dynamic range. Quickly connect instruments and line level devices using the easy-access front panel Hi-Z inputs.

By utilizing a state-of-the-art converter design, the Anubis delivers ultra-transparent A/D and D/A conversion. Monitor performances with crystal clarity using four balanced outputs—perfect for A/Bing mixes between two sets of speakers. Two independent stereo headphone jacks with industry-leading amplification allow you to monitor tracks with unprecedented detail.

ADVANCED MONITORING CONTROLS

The Anubis is much more than a simple desktop audio interface. Different stages of the creative process require different tools, and the Anubis is designed to adapt to your every need with a variety of “missions,” or on-board software programs devoted to different tasks.

Typical Music Setup

“Monitor Mission” gives you all of the tools you need to create a great mix. Adjust monitor levels, access transport controls, or communicate directly with performers using the built-in talkback mic. Take complete control of your reference monitors, nearfields, headphones, input sources, surround mix, downmix and more with a single, compact device. And with RAVENNA/AES67 support, the Anubis is capable of playing back on systems of any size—from stereo to 22.2 surround sound systems.

MODULAR BY SOFTWARE

Monitor Mission is just the beginning for the Anubis. Merging Technologies has developed a new concept they call “modular by software,” in which they increase the functionality of the Anubis by releasing additional Missions in the future—starting with the Music Mission, designed for music production and live concerts.
