Ashly Network Enabled 8-Channel Amplifier, 250W @ 70V & DSP

Where professional sound quality and network connectivity are paramount, the Network Enabled 8-Channel Amplifier, 250W @ 70V & DSP, stands out. This advanced amplifier is built around an energy-efficient Class-D platform, complemented by a switching power supply, ensuring optimal performance with minimal energy consumption.

This product is part of the NE Series Amplifiers, renowned for their seamless integration with networked systems. The ease of use, setup, and control is facilitated by the standard 10/100 Ethernet protocol and the Protea NE Software. This eliminates the need for any special outboard control units, making it a user-friendly solution for audio professionals.

The amplifier comes in two variants - the 4-channel ne4250 and the 8-channel ne8250. Both models are rated at 250W per channel, with separate HI-Z and LO-Z models available. The versatility of the NE Series is further enhanced by offering two separate platforms - the standard network amplifier and a network amplifier equipped with an on-board Protea DSP Processor.

The 8-channel power amplifier delivers a minimum power of 250 Watts RMS per channel into 70V loads, ensuring powerful and clear audio output. In bridged-mono mode, the amplifier can deliver at least 500 Watts RMS into a 140V load.

The amplifier features Euroblock input and output connectors, balanced analog inputs, and remote standby for power up. It also offers DC remote level control and contact closure preset recall. The Ethernet control and monitoring of power functions, level, mute, polarity, temperature, current, and amplifier fault conditions ensure a comprehensive control over the device.

The amplifier boasts a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz +/- 1.0dB and a Signal-to-Noise ratio greater than 105dB unweighted. The SMPTE intermodulation distortion is less than 0.5% into an 8 Ohm load, 10dB below rated output, ensuring a clean and distortion-free audio experience.

The front panel provides the status of power, standby, protect, power switch disable, signal level, bridge, over-temperature, overcurrent, and Ethernet communication. The amplifier also comes with an internal factory-installed digital signal processing (DSP) option controlled using Protea (network-enabled) software.

The amplifier is capable of having factory installed AES3, CobraNet, or Dante interface options. It fits in a standard 19-inch rack using two spaces (3.5. high) and weighs 24.7 pounds (11.2kg) or less, making it a compact and lightweight solution for your audio needs.
