Ashly NXE1502 2-Channel Networkable Multi-Mode Power Amplifier with CNM-2 CobraNet and OPDAC4 Option Cards

Before you make your decision, consider the NXE1502 2-Channel Networkable Multi-Mode Power Amplifier with Ethernet Control, CNM-2 CobraNet, and OPDAC4 Option Cards. This powerful and advanced audio equipment is designed to cater to the most demanding live sound and fixed installation sound systems, making it an ideal choice for stadiums, arenas, performance venues, worship spaces, and convention centers.

This high-quality amplifier from Ashly, a reputable brand known for its durable and reliable audio equipment, is available in three series: NX (base model series), NXE (networkable), and NXP (networkable + DSP). The NXE1502 model, in particular, features Class-D Switching Amplifier Technology and a universal switch-mode power supply with Power Factor Correction (PFC) that operates from 70VAC to 270VAC.

One of the standout features of this efficient amplifier is its Multi-Mode Operation with Selectable Outputs. This allows you to choose the desired output mode on each channel, with the DIP-switch configuration for Low Impedance (2, 4, and 8 Ohm) or 25V, 70V, or 100V Constant Voltage.

The NXE1502 also boasts an energy-saving Ashly EMS (Energy Management System) which provides an automatic sleep-mode drawing less than 1 Watt (defeatable). It also offers Ethernet Control using Protea NE software, serial data control by Ashly programmable remotes or third-party controllers, aux preamp outputs, instant standby mode, preset recall, and fault condition logic outputs.

The amplifier also comes with optional Dante, CobraNet, or AES3 digital audio capability (factory-installed), a real-time clock with event scheduler, and Ashly Remote Control via an iPad app. The NXE1502 is a 2 channel multi-mode amplifier capable of driving 2 Ohm loads at full power, with a maximum rated output power of 150W per channel at Low Z, 25V, 70V, or 100V mode.

The unit features an 80Hz high-pass filter, input limiter, and input gain settings of 26dB, 32dB, 38dB, or 1.4V. Each channel has remote DC level control, and the unit itself has a front panel power switch and rear level controls that can be disabled. The unit also has Ethernet control with a real-time clock for event scheduling, serial data remote control, aux preamp outputs, preset control, and fault condition logic output per channel.

The NXE1502 amplifier is designed with temperature-dependent variable speed forced-air cooling and weighs less than 11.9 lbs (5.4kg). It measures 19"W x 1.75"H x 14.54"D (483mm x 45mm x 369mm) and can be mounted in a standard 19" rack. This amplifier is a testament to Ashly's commitment to delivering powerful, advanced, and high-quality audio equipment.
