The Ashly nXe Series 4-Channel Networkable Multi-Mode Power Amplifier comes pre-installed with OPDAC4 internal 4-Channel DAC with selectable HPF and OPDante Dante Network Audio Interface cards. The OPDante card enables access to digital audio networks at low latencies (83.3 μs) over fast Ethernet. It can be installed in the rear card slot of nXe series amplifiers. Signal can be routed from other Dante enabled devices by simply connecting a CAT5e or CAT6 cable to the card's primary or secondary (redundant) Ethernet ports.

The amplifier is capable of driving 2, 4, and 8 Ohms loads at full power and offers a maximum rated output power of 75W per channel at 25V, 70V, and 100V modes. The amplifier comes with additional energy saving features such as Real-Time Clock (RTC), Event Scheduler, and GPIO control. The OPDAC4 card includes a software selectable high-pass filter that can be set for 80 Hz @ 12 dB/Oct, 400 Hz @ 6 dB/Oct, and Off.

The multi-mode output capability allows each individual amplifier output channel to be set for Low-Impedance, or Constant Voltage operation using DIP switches. The amplifier features a lightweight 1U design with universal AC input SMPS for improved energy efficiency. Thanks to the Euroblock, and IEC connectivity, the power amplifier safely fulfills the requirements for installed sound applications.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Are the batteries included?

A: No it does not. It also is only compatible with the EN-EL15b batteries, so keep that in mind.

Q: 2. Is this truly hot-swapable? That is, when battery A is depleted and the camera is using battery B, can I swap out battery A with a fresh battery and it will switch back? Can I swap either battery at any time as long as the other still has power?

A: Yes it is. The batteries are in two separate compartments.

Q: 3. Do you need to remove the battery door cover for the grip to be attached?

A: Yes.

Q: 4. Can you use the usb-c port to charge the batteries in the grip using an external power bank (i.e. when you are outdoors without access to a power outlet)?

A: Yes, one can charge Nikon EN-EL15b and EN-EL15c batteries in the Nikon MB-N10 Multi-Battery Power Pack for Select Z-Series Cameras over the USB-C port on the grip. Nikon recommends only using the Nikon EH-7P Charging AC Adapter for this, though this is no longer available. One can try other methods of power, but this is not officially endorsed by Nikon. The power bank or charger would need to have enough power for this to work. Keep in mind this is only to charge the batteries, and this cannot be used to continuously power the camera.

Q: 5. Can I use EN-EL15c batteries in this?

A: Absolutely! :)

Q: 6. How does it indicate what is charged? or charging? and other status indications?

A: This has LED indicators next to Battery A and Battery B, whichever is illuminated will indicate which one is charging.

Q: 7. With the grip attached, is the body still water resistant?

A: As per Nikon "The MB-N10 is designed with the same weather sealing and modern design of the Z cameras".

Q: 8. Will this charge the latest EN-EL 15C using the USB-C port while using the camera with a compatible camera that allows USB power?

A: The camera needs to be turned off for you to charge the EN-EL15C battery in the grip via USB.

Q: 9. It can be used with z5?

A: The following grip will accommodate the following Z bodies. Nikon Z5 Nikon Z6 Nikon Z6 II Nikon Z7 Nikon Z7 II

Q: 10. Will is still fit if I am using a smallrig or any other camera cage?

A: The Nikon MB-N10 Multi-Battery Power Pack for Select Z-Series Cameras would not be compatible with a camera cage.
