DMU

The DMU enables easy monitoring of all activity on the NXAMP or NXAMPMK2’s audio inputs, with signal and power supply coming from the amplifier’s GPIO port. Front panel features include four analogue XLR inputs plus links, three RJ45 ports for digital audio networking and LED VU meters.

The DMU is an unique tool that will perfectly fit your NXAMPs when used on the road. It offers all the necessary tools to ensure easy patching of the NXAMP inputs.

Traditionnal patch bay…

In an elegant but robust 1U low depth enclosure, the DMU offers to most demanding users an immediate overview of all inputs connected to the NXAMP powered TDcontroller.

On the left part of the unit, four XLR inputs (with output links) will act like a traditionnal patch bay, outputing the analog signals on four XLR on the back panel, to fit any cable lenght between the DMU and the NXAMP.

On the right part of the unit, three Ethercon connectors does the same but with audio and/or remote control networks.

… With unique functionnality

On each audio input, analog on XLR or digital on Ethercon, the DMU offers a highly readable, eight level vue-meter, plus two status leds for each network inputs.

Nothing to configure, these vue-meters are automatically driven (and powered) from the GPIO port of the host NXAMP.

Analog meters takes care of the variable input gain of the powered TDcontroller, whereas only patched digital inputs among the one availables on an audio network will be displayed.

Matched impedance routing

Unlike entry level input patch bay, using only wires to connect front pannel to back pannel plugs, the DMU uses a carrefuly routed multi-layer PCB, with shielded low impedance design for analog audio
and matched impedance design for the high speed network inputs.

Part of the NXAMP Universal Rack

Together with the DPU (Digital Patching Unit) and the NXAMP4x4, the DMU is part of the NXAMP Universal Rack, the interchangeable standard of power amplifiers for Nexo systems.
