AMX NX-2200 NetLinx Integrated Controller - 1 RU
Description
AMX NX-2200 NetLinx Integrated Controller – 1 RU
The NX-2200 is a professional-grade control processor built to manage complex AV and automation systems from a single 1U rack unit. This compact controller delivers the processing muscle and I/O density needed to run integrated sound, lighting, video, and environmental control reliably in venues, studios, and permanent installations where system uptime is non-negotiable.
Processing Power & System Architecture
Built on a 1600 MIPS processor with 512 MB DDRAM and 8 GB SDHC FLASH memory, the NX-2200 executes complex control logic and manages simultaneous device commands without bottlenecks. The dual network ports allow you to segregate control traffic from general network data—a critical feature for live venues and touring operations where network isolation prevents interference with other systems.
Connectivity & I/O Configuration
The controller packs four digital I/O ports, three RS232 ports, four IR/Serial output ports, and four relay ports to integrate with gear across audio consoles, video systems, lighting rigs, and environmental controls. An AxLink port and USB connectivity let you work with both established protocols and newer standards, ensuring the controller adapts to your existing rig or future upgrades without requiring a hardware swap.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of devices can the NX-2200 control?
The NX-2200 controls audio equipment, video switchers, lighting systems, motorized screens, environmental systems, and any networked or serial-protocol device through its four digital I/O ports, three RS232 ports, four IR/Serial outputs, four relay ports, and AxLink port. Its 1600 MIPS processor and 512 MB RAM handle complex simultaneous control across dozens of devices without lag.
Is this suitable for a small live-sound setup or home studio?
No—the NX-2200 is designed for professional system integrators managing medium-to-enterprise installations. Small live-sound rigs and home studios do not require this level of networked control integration; simpler controllers or direct device connections are more cost-effective.
What are the physical and power specifications?
The NX-2200 is 1U rack-mount (17" W × 9.1" D × 1.8" H), weighs minimal load in standard racks, and consumes only 4.2 W active power. Operating temperature range is 32°F to 122°F, making it suitable for climate-controlled equipment rooms.
How does the dual network port help?
Dual network ports enable network segregation, allowing you to isolate control traffic from facility networks or separate critical AV control from general data traffic for enhanced security and system stability.
Can I use the NX-2200 with legacy equipment?
Yes. The NX-2200 supports multiple legacy protocols through its three RS232 ports, four IR/Serial outputs, and relay ports, making it flexible enough to integrate older AV and building systems alongside modern networked devices.
