The bottom panel includes a multi-pin port that provides quick and convenient power, audio, and timecode connection without the need for any additional cables. This also allows for seamless integration of the A20-Nexus with the 8-Series, enabling users to easily take advantage of its advanced features and capabilities. With the A20-QuickDock, connecting and disconnecting the A20-Nexus is quick and effortless, making it possible to mount the receiver remotely whenever desired. This makes it easier than ever to connect the A20-Nexus to the 8-Series, allowing for seamless integration and enhanced functionality. This accessory also allows the A20-Nexus to quickly and easily connect and disconnect from the 8-Series without the need for any tools, making it possible to mount the receiver remotely whenever desired.

Considerations when docking an A20-Nexus on an 8-Series mixer/recorder:

• The 8-Series must provide power – the A20-Nexus’ power inputs (TA4 and PoE+) are disabled.
• The A20-Nexus rear panel connectors are mostly disabled apart from the antenna connectors, the USB-A port and the Ethernet ports.
• When docked to an 8-Series, the A20-Nexus Ethernet ports can only be used for control, not Dante.
