Product information "NC500MP OEM"
The NC500MP is a compact single channel amplifier module designed for integration in a wide range of audio applications. Typical use cases include musical instrument amplifiers, power amplifiers, active loudspeakers and subwoofer systems.
The module integrates a low power standby supply compliant with 2013 ERP Lot 6 requirements for a maximum standby consumption of 0.5 W, a high efficiency switch mode power supply and a single NCORE® Class D amplifier channel. All functions are combined on a single PCB assembly to support compact and straightforward system integration.
The NC500MP is intended for applications that require higher output power within an integrated amplifier and power supply solution. The design supports stable operation across varying load impedances and predictable electrical behaviour.
The module includes a Hypex Extension connector, allowing the addition of an auxiliary low power amplifier channel. This supports system designs such as two way active loudspeakers where an additional tweeter amplifier channel is required.

The NCx102EXT is an NCOREx® based Class D amplifier add on module for the NC-MP / NCx-MP series. It is intended for use in active loudspeaker systems as an additional amplifier channel, optimised for mid and high frequency reproduction while supporting full audio bandwidth operation. The module is powered directly from the host NC-MP or NCx-MP module via the Hypex Channel Extension interface. It supports a wide input voltage range compatible with the complete NC-MP / NCx-MP product range and does not require an external power supply. The NCx102EXT incorporates a self contained NCOREx® Class D amplifier. The design provides a flat frequency response independent of load impedance and maintains consistent distortion behaviour across the operating range. Radiated and conducted electromagnetic interference is controlled through circuit topology and PCB layout. Control is based on a phase shift controlled self oscillating loop with feedback taken directly at the loudspeaker output. This architecture supports stable operation and predictable electrical behaviour when integrated into multi channel active loudspeaker systems. The NCx102EXT is designed to expand NC-MP and NCx-MP based designs with additional amplifier channels, supporting two-way, three-way or four-way active loudspeaker configurations where an additional midrange or high-frequency channel is required. Highlights • High efficiency • Flat, fully load-independent frequency response • Low output impedance • Very low, frequency independent THD • Very low noise Features • NCOREx® Technology • NCx-MP Add-on • External controlled operation • Specifically designed as channel extension for our Mains Powered NCORE® and NCOREx® modules Protections • Advanced overcurrent protection • Exessive DC protection • Short circuit protection • Over temperature protection Possible applications • Monitor loudspeakers for recording and mastering studios • Public address systems • Active loudspeakers
The NC100HF is a dedicated high frequency amplifier module designed for use with the Mains Powered NCORE® module family. It is intended to add an additional amplifier channel for high and mid frequency reproduction in active loudspeaker systems. The module is optimised for operation in the mid and high frequency range, starting at approximately 500 Hz. Its design supports controlled amplification of tweeter and midrange drivers in multi way active loudspeaker configurations. The NC100HF interfaces directly with the on board switch mode power supply of the Mains Powered NCORE® modules. This allows the module to be powered and controlled as part of an integrated NCORE®-based system without the need for an additional external power supply The NC100HF is suitable for use in two way and three way active loudspeaker designs where an additional high frequency amplifier channel is required. Its integration approach supports straightforward system expansion within the Mains Powered NCORE® platform.
