Getting Started

Power switch​

The rear-panel power switch turns NERO on and off.

Always remember that your speakers or power amplifiers should be turned off when turning NERO, or any other device in the signal chain, on or off.

For the power-supply requirements and electrical warnings, see Safety and Compliance.

Computer software​

NERO operates as a standalone monitor controller. It does not require a driver or firmware installation on your computer.

Connect your audio sources, speakers and headphones directly to NERO and configure the required routing from the hardware controls.
