A20-QuickDock for 8-Series

The A20-QuickDock accessory allows the A20-Nexus to be docked to Sound Devices 833, 888, or Scorpio recorders and provides convenient power, audio, and time code connections with no additional cables. Docking and undocking can be done in seconds with no tools. The A20-QuickDock is also suitable for remote mounting when desired.

Delivery includes a mounting plate for the recorder, a quick release mechanism, Allen keys, and screws.

When docked on an 8-Series recorder:

• Power must be provided by the recorder; A20-Nexus power inputs (TA4 and PoE+) are disabled.
• A20-Nexus and its Nexlinked transmitters are controlled from the A20-Nexus front panel or its web app; recorder 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:
  • 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.
  • Jamming 8-Series timecode to an A20-Mini via the A20-Nexus.
• A20-Nexus Ethernet ports can only be used for control, not Dante.
