AMX MET-6NE-BL Metreau Keypad 6-button nav wheel BLACK
Description
AMX MET-6NE-BL Metreau Keypad 6-button Navigation Wheel — Black
The AMX MET-6NE-BL is a compact control interface built for studio and recording environments where networked monitoring and device management streamline session workflow. Its tactile navigation wheel and responsive button layout deliver immediate feedback during critical recording and mixing tasks, making it an efficient choice for producers and engineers integrating networked control into their studio setup.
Network Integration & Power Delivery
This keypad connects via RJ-45 Ethernet (10/100) and operates entirely on Power over Ethernet (802.3af standard), eliminating the need for separate power cabling. An external PoE injector or compatible network switch supplies power, simplifying installation in console-mounted or rack-integrated studio setups.
Control Interface & Environmental Specs
Six programmable buttons paired with a navigation wheel provide intuitive command input for real-time session control, while blue LED indicators and an LED bar for visual level feedback confirm system states at a glance during recording and playback. The unit operates reliably between 32°F and 104°F (0°C to 40°C) in humidity levels from 5% to 85% (non-condensing), making it suitable for climate-controlled studio environments.
