The NEXO DPU (Digital Patch Unit) is a 1U intelligent output patch panel that automates loudspeaker output routing for NXAMP and NXAMP MK2 amplifiers. Designed for touring and rental engineers, it communicates directly with the NXAMP and routes the amplifier’s power outputs to the correct front-panel Speakon connectors based on the currently loaded loudspeaker setup, removing the guesswork and sticky-tape labelling of a static patch panel.

Intelligent output patchThe DPU knows which loudspeaker setup the NXAMP is running and automatically routes each amplifier output to the correct Speakon, in bridge mode or not. Two NXAMPs can be linked on the same output for systems that need more than one amplifier.
Features
Automatic channel-by-channel output routing to six front-panel Speakon outputs
Communicates directly with the NXAMP to follow the loaded loudspeaker preset
Cabinet names and bridging status shown alongside each output
Links two NXAMPs on the same output for high-power systems
Dual medical-grade redundant power supply with lockable power cords
Either power cord can be unplugged with no drop on the audio signal
Heavy-duty ultra-low impedance switching matrix, also redundant by design
Zero configuration – routing is automatic and connections to the NXAMP are self-tested
LCD displays show speaker name, pin-out and NXAMP inputs when muted; output meters when live
