NCx500 OEM
Product information "NCx500 OEM"
The NCx500 OEM is an amplifier module based on the NCOREx® Class D technology. Compared with the earlier NC500 OEM, the NCx500 OEM provides improved measured performance, including lower noise and reduced total harmonic distortion.
The module is designed for use in mono, stereo, multichannel and active loudspeaker applications. Its electrical and mechanical interface allows it to function as a direct replacement for the NC500 OEM in existing designs, supporting straightforward system upgrades without changes to the surrounding circuitry.
The NCx500 OEM includes functional and performance updates relative to the NC500 OEM, reflecting further optimisation of the NCORE® based control architecture. These refinements are intended to improve overall system performance while maintaining compatibility with established NCORE® based designs.
NCx500 OEM is fitted with a user-selectable high quality buffer stage. Depending on system requirements, customers can choose to use the module with or without this buffer stage through on-board jumper connectors.
The amplifier module is suitable for integration in professional audio equipment and high end home audio systems where low noise, low distortion and predictable behaviour are required.

The NCx Evaluation board is designed to make evaluation of the NCx500 OEM amplifier or NCx1000 OEM amplifier easy. The Hypex SMPS1200 or SMPS3K can be easily connected to the evaluation board and used as power supply for an evaluation setup. An H-box connector also allows for easy connection with a Hypex DSP3-213 board.
The SMPS1200 is a high efficiency Safety Class 2 switch mode power supply designed for use with UcD™, NCORE® and NCOREx® amplifier modules. The unit is intended for audio systems that require stable power delivery across a wide load range in a compact and lightweight format. The power supply includes an overcurrent protection mechanism that limits output current during temporary overload conditions. It also provides symmetrical auxiliary outputs and a control interface for operation with UcD™, NCORE® and NCOREx® amplifier modules. The SMPS1200 is designed to achieve low levels of radiated and conducted electromagnetic interference. The topology and layout are optimised to meet EMI requirements commonly associated with professional and high end audio applications. The power supply supports a selectable input voltage range, allowing operation with different mains supply specifications. This supports use in international applications with varying power grid standards. SMPS1200 is a 2-quadrant full bridge rectifier, making it possible to supply single ended class d amplifiers. The SMPS1200 complies with applicable safety and performance standards and is certified for use in professional audio equipmen HIGHLIGHTS • High efficiency • Small form factor • Low EMI FEATURES • 2-quadrant full bridge rectifier • Selectable input voltage range • External controlled operation • 4 variants available: A100 / A180 / A400 / A700 PROTECTIONS • Advanced Overcurrent protection • Over temperature protection • DC detection input POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS • Active Loudspeakers, for home and professional use • Line Array and Immersive Systems • Power Amplifiers, for home and professional use • Multichannel Power Amplifiers • Home Theatre Systems POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS • Active Loudspeakers, for home and professional use • Line Array and Immersive Systems • Power Amplifiers, for home and professional use • Multichannel Power Amplifiers • Home Theatre Systems Note: NCORE® and NCOREx® amplifier modules are not available for DIY customers.
The SMPS3k is a high power, high efficiency Safety Class 1 switch mode power supply designed for integration with UcD™, NCORE® and NCOREx® amplifier modules. The power supply includes an overcurrent protection mechanism that limits the output current during temporary overload conditions. If an overload persists, the unit enters hiccup mode and remains in this state until the overload condition is removed. Large primary electrolytic buffer capacitors support short term peak power delivery to the connected amplifier modules. The SMPS3k follows the same design principles for safety, quality and electrical performance as other power supplies in the SMPS family, including the SMPS400 and SMPS1200.
