About Ashly ne8800

Discover the advanced capabilities of the ne8800 Network Enabled Protea DSP Audio System Processor. This sophisticated device simplifies the connection and control of an audio processor for networked systems, making it an ideal choice for professionals in the audio industry.

This powerful processor is designed for seamless integration with standard 10/100 Ethernet protocol and Protea ne Software, eliminating the need for special outboard control units. It boasts an analog line input/output format with four option bays that support network audio, AES3, and mic input options.

The ne8800 is a high-quality 8-channel mic input processor, equipped with 2x 4-channel mic input cards and a CNM-2 CobraNet option card. This innovative design allows for greater flexibility in routing and processing audio signals, making it perfect for live sound reinforcement, theater productions, and installed sound systems.

The extensive DSP signal processing library utilizes multiple SHARC 32-Bit processors with sample rates of either 48kHz or 96kHz. Processing blocks include a matrix mixer, a full array of graphic, parametric and all pass equalization, and crossover filters. The Protea Software Suite also includes an advanced automatic feedback suppressor, FIR filter capability, gain sharing automatic microphone mixing, ambient noise sensing and level adjustment, autolevelers, compressors, matrix duckers, limiters, frequency-keyed noise gates, signal delay up to 1,365ms on every channel, and your choice of sinewave, pink or white noise generators.

All programming is accomplished using standard 10/100 Ethernet or RS-232 protocol and Protea ne Software on a PC platform. The hot-plug software control allows you to plug any function into any channel block even when running live audio with no recompiling necessary. The automatic DHCP network IP configuration reduces network setup time, while multi-level software security with password access assures a tamper-proof audio system.

The ne8800 Network Enabled Protea DSP Audio System Processor is more than just a device; it's a comprehensive solution for all your professional audio needs.
