Product Information

Full details

The Sound Devices A20-QuickDock is an essential accessory for professional sound mixers looking to streamline their workflow by integrating an A20-Nexus or A20-Nexus Go receiver with an 8-Series mixer/recorder, such as the 833, 888, or Scorpio. It provides a seamless physical and electronic connection that facilitates power, audio, and timecode transmission without the need for additional cabling. While it offers unparalleled convenience and speed for field production, it is important to note that when docked, the receiver's rear-panel audio connectivity is bypassed in favor of the direct 8-Series integration.

Troubleshooting

Receiver not receiving power when docked

Ensure the receiver is fully seated in the dock and check that the 8-Series recorder is powered on and properly configured.

Audio signal not passing to the mixer

Verify that the multi-pin connector is clean and check the 8-Series menu settings to ensure the receiver input is correctly mapped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
