The Ashly nXe8004 is a 4-channel networkable power amplifier. It features lightweight, energy-efficient Class-D switching amplifier technology combined with a switch mode power supply and includes Ethernet Control using Protea™ NE software.

Description

NX Multi-Mode Power Amplifiers are designed to meet the most demanding live sound environments and fixed audio installations anywhere―performance venues, stadiums, arenas, convention centers as well as schools, store fronts, and worship spaces. Available as three separate amplifier series, NX offers 2 or 4-channel models as NX (base model series), NXE (networkable), or NXP (networkable + DSP).

All NXE Models Include:

Ethernet Control using Protea™ NE software 
Also, serial data control by Ashly programmable remotes or third party controllers, aux preamp outputs, instant standby mode, preset recall, fault condition logic outputs, optional Dante™, CobraNet™, or AES3 digital audio capability (factory-installed). Real-Time Clock with Event Scheduler. Assign automatic execution of selected functions and tasks. The event scheduler is programmed using PneS software and stored in the amplifier. Ashly Remote Control via iPad® app. Use our Ashly Remote free app available for custom design of secure wireless control over a network.

Class-D Switching Amplifier Technology 
NXE features a switch-mode power supply which automatically detects 110 – 120VAC or 220 – 240VAC operation and makes NXE one of the lightest in its class.

Multi-Mode Operation 
Selectable Outputs on each channel allow you to choose the desired output mode. Set the DIP-switch configuration for Low Impedance (2, 4, and 8 Ohm), or Constant Voltage (70V or 100V) and you’re set to go.

Energy Efficiency 
NXE has power-saving Ashly EMS™ (Energy Management System) which provides an automatic sleep-mode drawing less than 1 Watt (defeatable).

Multiple Internal Power Supplies
NXE provides increased channel separation and reliability.
