The platform, exhibiting at the NAMM 2026 Show at the Anaheim Convention Center in booth 14202, is designed to bring AUDIX sound into the digital domain using 24-bit analog-to-digital conversion. Frequency response is stated as 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with latency under 3 ms. Novacore also features industry-standard AES-256 digital transmission encryption.
The heart of the ecosystem is a family of UHF digital receivers available in single (NCR1), dual (NCR2), and quad-channel (NCR4) configurations. They offer a wideband front end with a 48 MHz tuning range and are designed to provide the spectrum flexibility needed to survive in crowded RF environments. For networked installations, the dual and quad-channel models are Dante-compatible, allowing direct routing of wireless channels into existing AoIP infrastructures.
The platform supports both handheld (NCHH) and bodypack (NCBP) transmitters, both featuring rugged construction and battery life exceeding 16 hours via rechargeable lithium-ion batteries or standard AA batteries.
Novacore introduces specialized vocal capsules—the NCEC Extended Cardioid and NCTH Tight Hypercardioid—which utilize proprietary VLM (Very Low Mass) technology designed to provide natural sound and strong transient response. The capsules are designed with internal shock isolation to reduce handling noise and are also compatible with common third-party S-thread wireless handles.
Expanding the platform’s reach, the newly introduced Wireless MicroBoom series (MBW50B, MBW84B, and others) integrates with the Novacore system. These carbon fiber booms use miniature condenser capsules for discrete audio capture for choirs and theatrical performances, without the visual clutter of cable runs. For institutions with existing hardware, upgrade kits (M1370B) are available to upgrade the wired MicroBoom to the Novacore wireless standard.
The Novacore Frequency Coordinator software provides real-time visibility and spectrum information for coordinating multiple systems. The ecosystem is supported by accessories including NCRD directional antennas for focused RF coverage, NCAC antenna combiners to simplify multi-channel distribution, and the NCC1 and NCC2 charging stations.
“Novacore puts AUDIX in the digital wireless game with a secure, encrypted platform without overcomplicating things,” says Steve Young, AUDIX Sales Director. “It’s designed for our core customers who need simple setup, clean audio, and robust performance in a system they can trust every week to hear what matters.”
