LAS VEGAS, NV, April 19, 2023 — During a year of celebrations, including Sound Devices’ 25th anniversary and the NAB Show’s Centennial, Sound Devices can add another milestone to the list: winning Mix Magazine’s Best of Show Award for the A20-Nexus receiver at the 2023 NAB Show.
Launched in November 2022, the A20-Nexus multichannel, true diversity wireless receiver impressed the judging panel with its forward-looking feature set. It offers an unprecedented 470-1525 MHz global tuning range through SpectraBand technology, long-distance remote control of transmitters via Sound Devices’ proprietary NexLink protocol, integrated RTSA (real-time spectrum analysis), Power-over-Ethernet, and audio-over-IP via Dante – all in a half-rack unit. Its eight receiver channels can be expanded to 12 or 16 channels with no extra hardware required, by purchasing or renting A20-Nexus 4-Channel Expansion Licenses.
“Winning this award for the A20 Nexus receiver means a lot to our entire company and to me personally,” says Sound Devices CEO Matt Anderson. “The design of the A20-Nexus is the culmination of many years of dedicated research and a joint effort by our team here in the U.S. and our Audio Ltd. team in the U.K. It demonstrates our focus on wireless technology and our commitment to quality products that meet the current and future needs of our customers.”
Throughout the busy NAB Show, the Sound Devices booth was packed with people wanting to see the A20-Nexus receiver’s features firsthand. Sound Devices also invited guests to a special event outside the Las Vegas Convention Center, where they had several A20-Nexus receivers available for hands-on demonstrations. Guests were able to experience how well the receiver and its SpectraBand technology perform in real time in a crowded RF environment.
Mix Magazine’s Best of Show Award is the second award that the A20-Nexus has received so far in this year, having also been awarded a 2023 Innovative Product Award as chosen by the readers of Sound & Video Contractor.
