The NXE Series 4-Channel Networkable Multi-Mode Power Amplifier from Ashly 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 Ohms loads at full power and offers a maximum rated output power of 800W per channel at Low Z, 70V, and 100V modes. In addition, the amplifier is suitable for use in performance venues, stadiums, arenas, convention centers as well as schools, store fronts, and places of worship.

The multi-mode amplifier features an automatic but defeatable sleep mode consuming <1W, and instant standby mode controlled by contact closure or software. A switch mode power supply can auto-detect 120 or 240 VAC mains, and a Neutrik powerCON is used for the AC cord. Each channel features a selectable output mode of Low Z, 70V, or 100V, an 80 Hz high-pass filter, input limiter, and input gain settings of 26 dB, 32 dB, 38 dB, or 1.4V. Each channel comes with a remote DC level control.

The amplifier comes with Neutrik XLR/TRS combo jack and Euroblock input connectors and Neutrik speakON output connectors. The unit features a front panel power switch and level controls that can be disabled. The LEDs indicate Protect, Sleep, Disabled, Com, and Bridge mode status, as well as Temperature, Output Current, Output Signal, and Clipping/Mute status per channel. In addition, the power amplifier features an Ethernet control with a real-time clock for event scheduling.

The power amplifier is equipped with serial data remote control, aux preamp outputs, preset control, and fault condition logic outputs. It also features a temperature dependent variable speed forced-air cooling. In addition, the amplifier can be mounted on a standard 19” rack.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. Does this grip have a 1/4 female tripod hole in the bottom?

A: Yes it has a 1/4-20 tripod socket.

Q: 3. 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: 4. 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: 5. Does this come with any batteries? Or are those separate?

A: The required batteries are not included with this grip. https://bhpho.to/367zzPx

Q: 6. 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: 7. How much height does this grip add to the Z6/Z7? I am trying to determine if using this grip might require me to find a new camera bag. Thanks!

A: The grip adds just about 2".

Q: 8. Does this have a shutter button and a back autofocus button on the grip for vertical shooting? Or does it just hold batteries?

A: Unfortunately this is just a battery grip without any control buttons.

Q: 9. Support black rapid straps?

A: yes, it will work with BR straps.

Q: 10. Can I use EN-EL15c batteries in this?

A: Absolutely! :)
