Welcome to Merging's latest mastering-grade networked audio interfaces: Hapi Mk III and Anubis, combining Swiss-built technology with industry-tested AES67, RAVENNA and Dante connectivity.

Merging is now part of the Sennheiser Group since joining forces with Neumann in mid-2022, and continues to strive to deliver products which have always been noted for audio fidelity and quality engineering.

While Merging has always supported the open source RAVENNA/AES67 standard, customers have asked us for years to also add compatibility to Audinate’s Dante® standard. With this update, Anubis will be useable as a hub, mixer or monitor controller in Dante environments, and Hapi Mk III is the ultimate Dante interface and channel extension, offering unparalleled audio performance. Compatibility with over 4000 Dante enabled devices from more than 600 manufacturers means there is a whole new world of applications to be discovered, especially in the live and installation markets.

Adding Dante compatibility is a testament to Merging’s customer-centric approach and has no impact on our commitment to RAVENNA/AES67. Both AoIP standards have their specific advantages depending on the use case.

Hapi Mk III is an exceptional audio centerpiece that effortlessly adapts to the most demanding scenarios. With its customizable I/O options, it offers unparalleled networked audio solutions, making it the perfect choice for broadcast, live events, and studios. This Swiss-made device is crafted to the highest standards and delivers audio quality that surpasses industry standards.

Anubis is a powerful and versatile audio interface with state-of-the-art technology. It offers switchable Missions for different audio applications, internal signal processing, and redundant network connectivity for I/O expansion via RAVENNA/AES67 or soon Dante. A touchscreen allows for intuitive control and stand-alone operation. Whether you require a large mixing desk or a sophisticated monitor controller for immersive / 3D speaker setups, Anubis is the perfect solution.

Selecting the best digital components is only one half of the challenge of making the best audio interfaces available. The design of the analog circuits, finding the most suitable power supply and assembling each unit with care is the other critical part of the process. Each unit is individually tested to ensure it meets or exceeds the specification and each AD or DA has its own test sheet supplied. The stylish case makes it instantly recognizable as the quality component it is. Would you expect anything less from a Swiss company?

Mastering your precious project is the final step before release so the last thing you want is a key part of the listening chain coloring the sound. Every detail needs to be heard so that is why Horus, Hapi & Anubis are so widespread in the mastering and archiving communities. We take comments like “neutral”, “transparent”, “detailed” as being the ultimate accolade.

The Networked Audio range has been designed so that any input can be routed to any amount of outputs as required. In some cases, this may be linked to the configuration of the card and be limited to groups of 8 channels but the whole point of networked interfaces is the flexibility offered as well as the extraordinary capacity of a simple Cat5e cable.

With comprehensive routing pages accessible both locally on the touchscreen and by remote access using a standard web browser, the Networked Audio range of interfaces is the answer to signal flow management in your studio.

Making the control and management of the network intuitive and simple is easily achieved with ANEMAN; our Audio NEtwork MANager. Any device connected to our Networked Interface range is automatically RAVENNA/AES67 compatible and will appear on the ANEMAN screen as will many devices from other manufacturers.
