Ashly FX Series FX500.2 2-Channel 500W Class D Power Amplifier with DSP

While the FX Series FX500.2 2-Channel 500W Class D Power Amplifier with DSP is a compact powerhouse, it's more than just an amplifier. It's a testament to the successful implementation of Class D design, as seen in the FA Series, and Ashly's years of expertise in creating user-friendly software. This device takes amplification to new heights, integrating a state-of-the-art DSP engine and software UI.

The FX Series is network-ready, offering connectivity via Ethernet for a wired LAN connection or directly through its built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, eliminating the need for a separate network router. This feature-rich amplifier allows system configurations that don't require additional equipment like standalone DSP or speaker system processors, offering a comprehensive solution in a single unit. This not only saves space but also reduces costs and setup time.

The FX Series is a versatile range of multi-purpose installation DSP-equipped amplifiers. These amplifiers come with a built-in Wireless-Access-Point (WAP) for easy connection and configuration via Wi-Fi, along with an intuitive web-based software UI. The FX Series is available in two configurations: the compact 1/2 Rack Units (RU) for tight spaces, and the powerful 2 RU FX 500.2 & FX500.4 for larger speaker systems. Despite their power, all FX models are lightweight, with the 2,000W FX 500.4 weighing only 16.5 lbs.

Underneath its sleek exterior, the FX Series houses a robust DSP engine that can be customized to suit a wide array of tasks without the need for additional equipment. It offers comprehensive input processing, zone processing, output processing, speaker processing, and device settings. This makes the FX Series perfect for a variety of applications, including multi-zone music distribution for retail and restaurants/bars, noise masking for offices and medical facilities, and media playback for hotel lobbies, retail, and museum kiosks.

The FX Series' DSP engine provides a rich selection of functions for optimizing your system. It features a user-friendly dashboard, input gain/trim and sensitivity controls, zone source select, mono/stereo, level control & metering, GPIO assignment, and compressor for Zones A-D. It also offers routing (from Zones A-D), delay (up to 100ms), 10-bands of fully parametric EQ for Outputs 1&2 (2-channel amps) or Outputs 1-4 (4-channel amps), and speaker presets.

The FX Series also offers the convenience of wireless access. It can be accessed anytime, anywhere with almost any browser-enabled device, without the need for software installation. It also offers secure ID and password protection from unauthorized use. For advanced users, Ethernet allows custom IP settings for use on a more complex wired LAN.

The FX Series is flexible and adaptable, capable of working with any type of speakers your system requires. It offers multi-mode operation with switchable Low Z (4/8 Ohms) or Hi Z (25/70/100V) that can be selected in software, allowing you to mix and match speaker types as needed. Each channel of the FX Series can operate at Low Z mode or be bridged for 70/100V constant Voltage output by selecting the appropriate Output Mode in the DSP software on each channel. The SPDIF Digital I/O may be used to connect other compatible equipment or to bridge two FX amplifiers and digitally expand the system. A Dynamic Power-sharing feature is automatically regulated and can allow power distribution between channels.
