IMPRESSIONS

This is a very well-conceived and highly specified monitor controller, with an excellent range of features and facilities, and I have no qualms at all about recommending the Nero for either project or professional applications. All in all, this is a versatile monitor controller with all the key features in place and plenty of useful configurability. The provision of four independent headphone outputs, with a talkback facility, is unusual and makes this monitor controller ideal for applications working with several musicians at the same time in a small project studio, too. The Nero is a very welcome addition to the array of very decent monitor controllers now on the market.
