The DPU optimises the NXAMP or NXAMPMK2’s channel by channel preset selection by automatically routing its outputs to any of six output connectors on the DPU front panel. Cabinet names and bridging status are displayed alongside each output, making it easy to wire the system.

The DPU is a 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 power outputs.

World-first intelligent output patch

Forget about the classical static output patch panel full of sticky tape and unreadable inscriptions. The DPU communicates directly with the NXAMP and knows which loudspeaker setup is currently running.

It can then automatically route the amplifier’s power outputs to the correct output speakon on its front panel, whatever Nexo speaker is connected, in bridge mode or not.

Ultimately, it offers the possibility to link two NXAMP together on the same output, for systems where more than one amplifier is needed.

Fully redundant design

The DPU is powered through a dual fully certified medical grade power supply system. Any of the two lockable power cords can be unplugged anytime without any drop on the audio signal.

The heavy-duty ultra-low impedance switching matrix used for audio routing is also implemented using a redundant design, ensuring maximum security.

Zero configuration

Using the DPU is extremely easy; not only there is nothing to set up, as all routing parameters are automatically configured, but it tests also that all connections to NXAMP are correct.

Useful display

The DPU provides also crucial information when connecting your Nexo speakers to the NXAMP.

When the NXAMP is muted, the four individual LCD display for each output the name of the speaker, its pin-out and the NXAMP inputs in use. When unmuted, the LCD turns into four easy readable output meters.
