NRV10 - 10 x 10 FireWire Digital Audio Interface | 8 x 2 Ana

The NRV10 by M-Audio. Is it a mixer, an interface - do you use it in the studio or live. The short answer is YES.

HowAudio.com chose to do a tutorial on this powerful tool because of it's versatility and quality. Since it is unlike any other "mixer" we thought it would be a benefit to our members and visitors to demonstrate what it has "under-the-hood". In this tutorial Jeff Dykhouse shows us how the signal flows through the NVR10.

Top Features: high-quality 8 x 2 analog mixer with integral 10 x 10 24-bit/96kHz FireWire S 400 audio interface; 4 mono channels, 2 stereo channels (including 5 XLR mic inputs); headphone output with flexible source assignment and DJ-style pre-listening; compatible with all major DAWs including Pro Tools M-Powered 7.3* (demo included).

Does it work with Logic? Cause I plugged the firewire port in and got nothing.

[Rrrrobbo]

In OSX the NRV10 displays its "10" outputs as separate devices, this is logical as it means you can send different programs to different channels (by choosing a different device) however, if I send superior drummer 2 (in toontrack solo or logic 9) to outputs 7/8, and then try to send music to 5/6, there is some kind of problem and the result is a distorted mess!! They are fine individually, no problem with gain it just garbles in a horrible digital way?! no issue with 'built in output'.....!

[Rrrrobbo]

you can't send 9/10 out of the main mix, only out of the control room or headphone outputs, this is irritating because only the main mix outputs are balanced xlr,

[Rrrrobbo]

@justind507 no, the mixer is a seperate analog mixer that controls the signals in and out of the interface, it does NOT send any midi whatsoever

[justind507]

@HowAudioTV can you control the faders in the daw?

[santiago99989]

Can I use with the traktor dj?? I can listen in one channel something i play in the computer like a dj mixer?!?

[weallhavetoleave]

I have one of these mixers. A few of the sliders and inputs developed a bit of crackle and noise after about 18 months (after warranty expired). I only use it at home on occasion in a smoke free and low humidity environment.

So it seems maybe a got a not so good mixer out of that batch or M-Audio need to provide a little more longevity. So next time I will likely buy another brand.

Other than that, sound quality is very clean and I would recommend it.
