NUX NSS-5 Solid Studio IR & Power Amp Simulator
Whats Inside?
Solid Studio comes with 8 speaker cabinet simulations. All the cabinet models inside the Solid Studio are sounds great as original as the way it feels.
And there are 8 microphone models you can combine with any cabinets. Also, you can adjust microphone position for fine tuning.
Solid Studio Power Amp Simulation produces a warm tube-like sound and you can choose one of three power tubes for your essential sound needs.
Input/Outputs
NUX Solid Studio has a 6.35mm mono input with an input signal level toggle switch (-10dB / +4dB) for fitting various instruments. And it has 3 outputs: simulation dedicated (TRS) STEREO OUTPUT and DI OUT, and a bypassed THRU output.
Connection Tips
Solid Studio offers a variety of connection solutions to give you correct guitar tones with or without a real speaker cabinet.
Gig Saver
You can place the Solid Studio at the end of your pedal board, and you can send the simulated sound to the mixer while you can send your original signal to the amp. Its an alternate option for amp / cabinet mic-ing on stage.
Silent Recording
Solid Studio is good for sitting between your pedals and audio interface for silent direct recording. Let the Solid Studio handle the speaker cabinet and microphone part.
Advanced Connection
By placing the Solid Studio between the amp and the cabinet, while still using your real cabinet for stage monitoring, you can split a DI signal with cabinet simulation to the mixer from Solid studio. The Solid Studio DOES NOT provide NO LOAD to the amplifier, therefore, a real cabinet or a loadbox MUST be connected to the THRU jack of the Solid Studio, or there is risk of damaging the amplifier.
-The amplifiers speaker output must be connected to the Solid Studios input by a SPEAKER CABLE
- The Solid Studios input mode must be switched to +4 dB
- The Solid Studios THRU output must be connected to the speaker cabinets input by a SPEAKER CABLE
- The Solid Studios output mode must be selected as SPK (SPEAKER)
