To power your NEON monitor on location from a battery rather than from mains power, use this AtomX Core Power Box with 6.6' XLR Cable from Atomos. Developed with Core SWX, this durable aluminum power box provides stable operation for the power-hungry NEON monitors that have a 380W output. A power on/off switch on the side allows you to cut the power to preserve the batteries when not in use.

Two Gold mount battery plates on either side of the unit require batteries with a minimum of 12A load to provide stable power for the monitor. The monitor is then powered using the included 3-pin XLR power cable. It is recommended to have battery packs that are equal in capacity and output to operate, such as two Core SWX NEO 9, NEO 150, or HelixMax Gold mount batteries.
