Frequently asked questions
What's the main functional difference between these two products?
The HPX-900SL is a passive connectivity enclosure that consolidates cables and adapters into a single table-mounted access point. The MET-6NE-WH is an active control interface that manages AV system zones and equipment via Ethernet commands with tactile feedback.
Can I use both together in one installation?
Yes. The HPX-900SL provides the physical connection interface (inputs/outputs), while the MET-6NE-WH controls what signal routes where. They address different system layers and are often used together in enterprise AV installations.
Which one requires more technical setup?
The MET-6NE-WH requires configuration and integration with an AV control system via its Ethernet and IDC headers. The HPX-900SL is passive and only requires selecting which modules (HDMI, USB, etc.) to populate into its 9 slots—no programming needed.
Do either of these work for portable or touring use?
No. Both are designed for permanent, fixed installations. The HPX-900SL requires table mounting with minimum 3/4-inch thickness, and the MET-6NE-WH requires standard wall-plate mounting—neither is suitable for mobile applications.
