AMX NX-3200 NetLinx Integrated Controller - 1RU - Dual LAN
Description
AMX NX-3200 NetLinx Integrated Controller – 1RU Dual LAN
The AMX NX-3200 is a professional-grade integrated controller engineered for complex studio automation and networked AV environments. Its compact 1RU form factor integrates cleanly into standard 19" racks alongside audio interfaces, mixers, and outboard gear, while the matte black metal enclosure with removable rack ears accommodates both permanent studio installations and flexible mobile setups. This controller delivers enterprise-level processing power and networking capability in a purpose-built platform for managing multi-room recording, monitoring, and control infrastructure.
Processing & Connectivity Architecture
At its core, the NX-3200 runs a 1600 MIPS processor with 512 MB RAM and 8 GB SDHC flash memory, providing sufficient processing headroom for real-time control of complex studio chains and networked device routing. The dual NIC architecture features separate 10/100 LAN and ICSLAN connections, enabling isolated network paths for redundancy and security—essential for studios requiring reliable, fault-tolerant operation without interrupting active sessions.
I/O & Network Security
Port density supports comprehensive device integration: 8 Serial, 8 Relay, 8 IR, and 8 Digital I/O ports enable control of audio interfaces, monitor systems, patch bays, lighting rigs, and networked outboard gear, while 2 AXLink ports extend control over AMX peripheral devices. The controller implements IPv4 and IPv6 support alongside IEEE 802.1X port-based network access control, X.509 certificates, and LDAP integration, ensuring enterprise-grade security for multi-user studio environments and networked recording setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NX-3200 designed to control?
The NX-3200 manages mid-to-large AV systems, building automation, and live event installations through 8 serial ports, 8 relay ports, 8 IR ports, and 8 digital I/O ports—plus 2 AXLink ports for AMX peripherals. It orchestrates real-time control of audio interfaces, video switchers, lighting, monitors, and networked devices across isolated network paths.
What makes the dual-NIC architecture valuable for installations?
The NX-3200 features separate 10/100 LAN and ICSLAN connections, creating redundant, isolated network paths. This prevents a single network failure from taking down your entire system and meets enterprise security requirements for critical AV and automation infrastructure.
Is this controller suitable for small studios or portable live sound?
No—the NX-3200 is designed for fixed, mid-to-large installations where professional-grade redundancy and networked control infrastructure are essential. Small home studios and portable live sound systems would benefit from simpler, more compact solutions.
What programming environments does it support?
The NX-3200 supports RPM (Rapid Project Maker), NetLinx, and Java programming environments, giving your systems integrator or engineer flexible options for building custom automation and control logic.
What are the physical specs and power requirements?
The NX-3200 is 1RU rack-mountable (17" W × 1.8" H × 9.1" D), weighs approximately 6.08 pounds, and features a matte black metal enclosure with removable rack ears for flexible deployment in standard 19" racks. USB port allows for file save and restore operations.
