VANI

Your practice rig, complete.

Vani is a compact monitor speaker built to sit at the end of your Meru signal chain. Plug Nada and Tala into it, connect your instrument, and everything comes out of one small box. No mixer, no interface, no patch bay. Just music.

A three-band Baxandall EQ — bass, mid, treble — gives you real tonal control, not the cosmetic kind. The same analog EQ circuit used in high-end studio gear, scaled for a practice monitor. Dial in the room, cut the mud, bring up the clarity of your tanpura. A front panel volume encoder with a satisfying click keeps your hands on the music.

Vani is deeper than Nada and Tala — the Hammond 1590D gives the internal 40mm driver proper acoustic volume to breathe. It's not a PA. It's a practice monitor, tuned for clarity at the volumes you actually practice at — close-range, focused, present. Bass is tight, mids are honest, highs don't fatigue.

Power and audio both come in through the rear panel. USB-C in from the daisy chain, 3.5mm aux in from whatever you're monitoring. Vani is the end of the line — no USB-C out, no MIDI, no display. Just the sound.

Built in Austin. Hand-assembled in a Hammond 1590D enclosure. Made to sound good in small rooms.
