Audix Novacore: 16-Piece Digital Wireless Family Shown at NAMM 2026

Audix used NAMM 2026 to introduce Novacore, a digital wireless line made up of 16 products. The Oregon-based company, founded in California in the mid-1980s, aims the series at stages of different sizes, from clubs and houses of worship to theatres and arenas. Its stated goal is a natural reproduction of the human voice in a build meant for touring.

What is in the range

Novacore is built from separate parts that can be combined as a show grows:

• NCR1, NCR2 and NCR4 – receivers with one, two and four channels;
• NCHH – a handheld transmitter;
• NCBP – a bodypack transmitter;
• NCEC (Extended Cardioid) and NCTH (Tight Hypercardioid) – vocal microphone capsules;
• Frequency Coordinator – software for planning frequencies;
• a set of accessories.

The price works out to just under $1,000 per channel.

Technical details

The system converts audio at 24 bits and covers 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Latency stays below 3 ms. The link is protected with AES-256 encryption, the industry-standard level. The receivers operate in the UHF band with a wideband front end and a 48 MHz tuning range, which is intended to help in venues where the radio spectrum is crowded.

The two- and four-channel receivers also support Dante. This lets engineers send the wireless signals straight onto an audio-over-IP network without extra converters. The single-channel NCR1 is not listed with this feature.

At the time of the announcement Audix said the Novacore products would reach retailers soon. No exact shipping date or per-model prices were given beyond the per-channel figure.
