AMX MET-7E-BL Metreau 7-Button Ethernet Keypad (Black)
The AMX MET-7E-BL is a compact networked control interface built for studio and production environments where clean, organized signal routing and system control matter. Seven double-width buttons with intuitive blue LED feedback provide real-time status confirmation across your recording setup, fitting seamlessly into standard wall installations without visual clutter. Its slim profile and lightweight construction remain unobtrusive in control rooms while staying immediately accessible during sessions and overdubs, bridging professional-grade control architecture with practical studio integration for managing multi-room monitoring, zone selection, or centralized audio/video routing.
Design & Build Quality
Built to fit standard Decora-style wall plates, the keypad occupies minimal space at just 4″ × 1¾” × 1″ while maintaining a solid, durable construction rated for indoor studio environments. The field-replaceable pre-printed buttons allow quick customization—relabel for different monitoring chains, recording modes, or routing assignments—ensuring the interface adapts to evolving session requirements and workflow changes without full unit replacement.
Connectivity & Power Specifications
The keypad connects via a single RJ-45 Ethernet connector (10/100) supporting PoE (802.3af, class 0), eliminating dedicated power runs and simplifying studio wiring architecture. Dual 8-pin IDC headers on the rear panel provide additional integration flexibility for connecting legacy control hardware or parallel routing logic within your control room setup.
