Description
AMX MET-6NE-BL Metreau Keypad 6-button Navigation Wheel — Black
The AMX MET-6NE-BL is a compact control interface for managing networked AV systems in live venues, studios, and installed sound environments. Its streamlined form factor and tactile navigation wheel deliver responsive feedback under real-world conditions, making it reliable for sound engineers and AV operators running complex system rigs from a single point of control.
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 deployment in wall-mounted or rack-integrated setups on the road or at a venue.
Control Interface & Environmental Specs
Six programmable buttons paired with a navigation wheel provide intuitive command input, while blue LED indicators and an LED bar for visual level feedback confirm system states at a glance. The unit operates reliably between 32°F and 104°F (0°C to 40°C) in humidity levels from 5% to 85% (non-condensing), holding up in climate-controlled venues, studios, and installed AV environments.
