USB audio modes
NEXUS processes everything at 48 kHz. At any other USB rate, NEXUS converts inside the box. Recording back to the computer is available in the two 16-bit duplex modes only. Chapter 7 — Routing & sources explains how to change mode.
| Mode | Playback | Record to computer |
|---|---|---|
| 44.1 kHz / 16-bit | Yes | Yes |
| 48 kHz / 16-bit | Yes | Yes |
| 48 kHz / 24-bit (default) | Yes | No |
| 88.2 kHz / 16-bit | Yes | No |
| 96 kHz / 16-bit | Yes | No |
| 44.1 kHz / 24-bit | Yes, truncated to 16-bit | No |
Control
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Configuration | Omnissiah app, over USB-C |
