Nu Multi
The Nu Multi is a complete multichannel pickup, an array of Nu Capsules in a modular form factor that fits standard electric guitars and basses. The design is also easy to customize for extended-range or non-traditional instruments, with a minimum 10 mm string spacing (10.2 mm typical).
Each string has its own independent output, enabling true per-string processing and control. The Nu Multi can also be installed alongside traditional monophonic pickups, giving you both polyphonic and conventional outputs in the same instrument.
See the Meredith Nu Multi Reference Setup for more information. Use this guide as a use-case reference on how to install and integrate a Nu Multi Pickup, including controls, together with other monophonic pickups.

Nexus
To unlock the full potential of a Nu Multi equipped instrument, you need a hub that can carry both audio and control to the outside world. That’s the role of the Nexus-GK. Compact, flexible, and hacker-friendly, Nexus-GK connects your guitar through a single rugged 19-pin cable, delivering multiple channels of audio and real-time control seamlessly to your studio or stage setup.
Nexus-GK handles up to 12 channels of audio, whether from standard mono pickups or the Nu Multi. It can also carry analog control voltages and switches from your instrument, translating them into MIDI control messages. This gives you hands-on control of volume, EQ, patch changes, and effects directly from the guitar.
Outputs include up to 12 channels of audio. Standard MIDI via 5-pin DIN and Roland-compatible 13-pin DIN are available optionally with the GK-MIDI module, making integration with MIDI gear and Roland/BOSS devices possible. From EQ and dynamics to patch automation and spatial effects, Nexus-GK is the bridge between your instrument and the wider world of processing and performance. Together with the Nu Multi, it forms a complete ecosystem that captures every nuance of your playing and delivers it wherever you need it.
