The lightweight nXp800 4-Channel Multi-Mode Network Power Amplifier from Ashly features programmable output on each channel selectable via rear panel DIP switches with swept load impedance monitoring. Audio is processed via the 32-bit SHARC DSP at 48 or 96 kHz sample rates and a built-in signal generator is provided for test tone and noise-masking.

The nXp800 amplifier comes pre-installed with CobraNet network audio module and features aux preamp outputs. Ethernet control is supported via the free Protea NE software (downloadable from Ashly's website) and serial data control is possible via Ashly programmable remotes or third party controllers (available separately). The Protea DSP (Digital Signal Processing) software is included for dynamics, gain, equalization, matrix mixer, crossover, delay, and metering.

The amplifier is suitable for live sound and fixed installation sound systems at performance venues, stadiums, arenas, convention centers as well as schools, store fronts, and places of worship.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this adapter work with the FX100?

A: As long as it has the multi adapter hot shoe

Q: 2. Is this compatible with the FX9 and if so, will it interface with the Ch 3&4 manual level controls on the camera?

A: The SMAD-P3D does work with the FX9 and interfaces with Channels 1 and 2. Levels are not adjustable using the internal controls on the camera.

Q: 3. Will this work with a URX-P03?

A: The SMAD-P3D cannot be used with the URX-P03 nor the URX-P40. The Sony SMAD-P5 is directly compatible with the URX-P03.

Q: 4. How can I expand listening to other areas of my house? My current (old) Yamaha receiver allows me to plug in outdoor speakers. This doesn't have inputs like that. Can any bt speaker work or does it have to be the Yamaha MusicCast speaker?

A: Unfortunately this model does not provide a second Zone option. Though it has Bluetooth, it is only able to receive a Bluetooth signal for Audio Playback purposes. It is not able to transmit Bluetooth to a separate speaker. The MusicCast option will be the only way to expand the audio.

Q: 5. I have a Sony HDR-SR10, which lacks a 3.5mm external mic input, or any sort of external mic input. It has the HSI. Will this adapter allow for the camera to use the audio signal from a receiver via the HSI, since there is no other mic input on the HDR-SR10? If so, I can look into purchasing this adapter.

A: The SMAD-P3D is compatible with select cameras that feature Sony's Multi-Interface shoe. Unfortunately not compatible with the HDR-SR10.

Q: 6. What's the difference between this and the cheaper non D smad-p3 version?

A: The SMADP3D is designed for use with the new Sony URX-P03D dual channel receiver.

Q: 7. Will this work on the a6300 using the dual channel wireless receiver?

A: The Sony SMADP3D Multi-Interface Shoe Adapter is compatible with the Sony a6300. User may connect the Sony URX-P03D 2-Channel Portable Receiver to the a6300 using this multi-interface shoe adapter.

Q: 8. 1. Can you confirm this can add two channels to an FS5ii - this in addition to the two connections on the camera itself? 2. Would this paired with the Sony URX-P03D allow a Sony A7Sii to record two separate channels of audio? So in post you'd get for example the wireless lav on the left channel and a second wireless lav on the right channel?

A: The two channels it will add are not level adjustable.

Q: 9. I am shooting with the A7SIII and have been using the UTX-P03D. When I use the dual channel SMAD Unit, the ability to control audio levels in camera is suddenly disabled. Also the in the menu the (MI Shoe Audio Set) option is grayed out, not allowing me to control my levels anymore. Because of this I've been using the 2 channel Sony provided 3.5mm jack. Am I missing something, or does this SMAD unit only provide auto gain with no ability to control audio levels?

A: Awaiting a Call-Back from Sony on this, to confirm compatibility/usability with the A7s iii. One "theory" is that the A7siii is a "consumer" product and may not be (fully?) compatible. The Sony URX-P03D wireless receiver is to used with interface Sony SMAD-P5 Digital MI Shoe Adapter for UWP-D Series. ( https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1484185-REG/sony_smadp5_digital_mi_shoe.html). This is stated as applicable to SELECT Sony cameras (the A7s iii is not listed-see below): Key Features For UWP-D Series URX-P40 Receiver For Camcorders/Cameras with MI Shoe Digital Audio and Data Connection Switchable to Analog Connection Cable-Free Setup Show More The compact Sony SMAD-P5 is a digital Multi Interface (MI) Shoe adapter that allows you to mount the UWP-D Series URX-P40 receiver on select Sony camcorders and cameras equipped with the MI shoe architecture. The adapter eliminates the need for connecting cables, speeding your setup in the field. More Details The adapter also offers seamless integration with the Sony a7R IV and A9 II mirrorless cameras, the PXW-Z280/PXW-Z190 XDCAM camcorders, and the PXW-FX9 camera

Q: 10. it can be used on a Sony 6600? as a shoe to lift the flash an or mic.

A: The Sony SMAD-P3D is used for receiving a 2-channel audio signal from a Sony URX-P03D wireless receiver without XLR cables. The Sony a6600 Mirrorless Camera is listed with a Sony MI shoe so it would be compatible with the SMAD-P3D.
