Sound Devices A20-QuickDock Nexus Quick Release Dock

Share

The Sound Devices A20-QuickDock is a quick release dock platform for the Nexus to connect with any 8-Series mixer/recorder for a cableless kit.

When docked on an 8-Series:

• Power must be provided by the 8-Series – A20-Nexus power inputs (TA4 and PoE+) are disabled.
• The A20-Nexus and its Nexlinked transmitters are controlled from the A20-Nexus front panel or its web app. The 8-Series user interface is not used for control.
• Most A20-Nexus rear panel connectors are disabled apart from the antenna connectors, the USB-A port and the Ethernet ports.
• The USB-A port has the following capabilities when A20-Nexus is docked on an 8-Series:
  • Pairing A20-Mini transmitters to the A20-Nexus by connecting a USB-C cable from the transmitter to the USB-A port.
  • Attaching a USB keyboard for entering text directly (e.g. receiver channel names) into the A20-Nexus.
  • Mounting a USB thumb drive for updating A20-Nexus firmware.
  • Syncing 8-Series timecode to an A20-Mini via the A20-Nexus.
• When docked to an 8-Series, the A20-Nexus Ethernet ports can only be used for control, not Dante.
