Audix NovaCore NCR1 Single Channel Wireless Receiver

The Audix NovaCore NCR1 is a compact, single channel digital UHF wireless receiver that gives you professional, encrypted audio in a simple, portable format. Ideal as the starting point for a NovaCore system or as a flexible add-on to existing racks, it delivers low latency performance, intuitive one touch setup and robust RF stability in a unit that is just as happy on the road as it is in a fixed install.

With a generous 48 MHz tuning range, one touch IR sync and a clear front panel LCD, the NCR1 makes it easy to build reliable wireless setups for bands, venues, houses of worship and corporate AV. Dual RJ11 ports provide direct connection to Audix Frequency Coordination software, while the balanced XLR output with switchable pad and ground lift ensures clean integration with your mixer or audio interface.

Compact Entry Point to the NovaCore Ecosystem

The NCR1 is designed as the most streamlined way to access the NovaCore digital wireless platform. Its single channel format keeps things simple for smaller systems, portable rigs and satellite locations, while remaining fully compatible with all NovaCore handheld and bodypack transmitters, capsules and accessories. Because it shares the same RF platform as the larger NCR2 and NCR4 receivers, you can easily mix and match units as your system grows without changing workflow or software tools.

Fast, Confident Setup

Getting up and running is quick thanks to one touch IR sync pairing with any NovaCore transmitter. The front panel LCD gives you instant feedback on RF and audio levels, group and channel selection, diversity status, battery condition and squelch settings, so you can see the health of your wireless link at a glance. Additional parameters are accessed via the MODE menu, allowing you to fine tune performance without diving into complex external control systems.

Secure, Low Latency Digital Audio

The NCR1 delivers digital UHF reception across a 48 MHz window, with latency of less than 3 ms to keep performers and presenters feeling connected to their sound. AES 256 encryption helps protect your audio from interception, which is particularly valuable in corporate, educational and broadcast environments where confidentiality matters. The result is a clean, stable wireless signal that feels as immediate and reliable as a cable.

Flexible Connectivity for Real World Rigs

On the rear panel, a balanced XLR output provides line level audio with a switchable pad offering 6 dB, 0 dB or plus 16 dB settings, so you can match the receiver to a wide range of mixers and input sensitivities. A ground lift switch helps eliminate hum and buzz in challenging power situations. Dual RJ11 ports allow you to daisy chain multiple receivers directly to Audix Frequency Coordination software without needing a separate network switch, keeping wiring straightforward in both mobile and installed systems.

• Single Channel Digital UHF Receiver - A focused, single channel design with a 48 MHz tuning range (494 to 542 MHz, country dependent) and latency under 3 ms gives you professional wireless performance in a compact footprint, ideal for smaller systems, fly rigs and expanding existing racks one channel at a time.
• AES 256 Encrypted Wireless Link - Built in AES 256 encryption secures the audio between the NCR1 and any NovaCore handheld or bodypack transmitter, helping to protect sensitive content in corporate, educational and worship environments while maintaining clear, detailed sound.
• Intuitive Front Panel Control and Monitoring - The front panel LCD displays RF and AF metering, group and channel selection, diversity status, transmitter battery level and menu settings, so engineers can monitor system health instantly and make adjustments quickly via the MODE menu.
• Flexible I/O and Software Integration - A balanced XLR output with selectable pad settings and ground lift ensures clean connection to your mixer, while dual RJ11 ports let you daisy chain multiple receivers directly to Audix Frequency Coordination software without a network switch, simplifying multi channel setups.
