Ashly ne8250.70 8-Channel Network Enabled Power Amplifier with OPDante and OPDAC8 Option Cards

Make your audio installations more efficient and versatile with the ne8250.70 8-Channel Network Enabled Power Amplifier, a powerhouse of sound amplification designed for professional audio systems. This robust amplifier is built on a cutting-edge Class-D platform, ensuring energy efficiency and high performance, while its switching power supply offers reliability and sustainability for your audio needs.

The ne8250.70 stands out with its network-enabled capabilities, allowing for seamless integration into networked audio systems. Effortless setup and control are at your fingertips through standard 10/100 Ethernet protocol and the intuitive Protea ne Software, eliminating the need for additional outboard control units. This amplifier is not only user-friendly but also highly adaptable, with the option to choose between the 4-channel ne4250 or the 8-channel ne8250 models, each delivering a substantial 250W per channel.

For installations requiring tailored audio solutions, the ne Series Amplifiers come in two distinct configurations: the standard network amplifier and the network amplifier with an onboard Protea DSP Processor. Customization is further enhanced with the option to add AES3 inputs, microphone pre inputs, and CobraNet or Dante modules, ensuring that the ne8250.70 can meet the specific requirements of any professional audio setup.

The ne8250.70 is engineered to meet rigorous Architect & Engineering specifications, delivering a minimum of 250 Watts RMS per channel into 70V loads across all eight channels. For applications demanding more power, the amplifier can be switched into bridged-mono mode, providing at least 500 Watts RMS into a 140V load for channels paired 1+2, 3+4, 5+6, or 7+8.

Connectivity is made simple with Euroblock input and output connectors, and the amplifier boasts balanced analog inputs for pristine sound quality. Remote standby, DC remote level control, and contact closure preset recall are all available for enhanced control flexibility. Monitoring and controlling power functions, level, mute, polarity, temperature, current, and amplifier fault conditions can be done remotely via Ethernet, ensuring that you have comprehensive oversight of your system's performance.

The ne8250.70 promises a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz +/-1.0dB, ensuring full-range audio reproduction with minimal deviation. With a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 105dB unweighted and SMPTE intermodulation distortion less than 0.5% into an 8 Ohm load, 10dB below rated output, this amplifier delivers crystal-clear audio with minimal noise and distortion.

Designed for professional environments, the front panel provides clear status indicators for power, standby, protect, power switch disable, signal level, bridge, over-temperature, overcurrent, and Ethernet communication. The amplifier is also ready for future upgrades with the capability to accommodate factory-installed AES3, CobraNet, or Dante interface options, along with two 4-Channel DAC cards.

The ne8250.70 is rack-mountable in a standard 19-inch enclosure, occupying only two rack spaces (3.5 inches high) and maintaining a lightweight profile at 24.7 pounds (11.2kg), making it an ideal choice for space-conscious installations without compromising on power or functionality.

Elevate your audio system's capabilities with the ne8250.70 8-Channel Network Enabled Power Amplifier, a versatile and powerful solution designed for the demanding needs of modern audio professionals.
