About Ashly NXE1.52

A powerhouse of sound amplification, the NXE1.52 2-Channel Networkable Multi-Mode Power Amplifier with Ethernet Control, CNM-2 CobraNet, and OPDAC4 Option Cards is engineered to cater to the rigorous demands of live sound and fixed installation sound systems. This versatile device is perfect for large-scale venues such as stadiums, arenas, performance venues, worship spaces, and convention centers.

The NXE1.52 is part of the NX series, which offers 2 or 4-channel models in three different variants: NX (base model series), NXE (networkable), and NXP (networkable + DSP). This model is networkable, providing seamless integration into your existing sound system.

Equipped with Ethernet Control using Protea NE software, this amplifier allows for efficient and reliable control. It also supports serial data control by Ashly programmable remotes or third-party controllers, enhancing its versatility. The device also features aux preamp outputs, instant standby mode, preset recall, and fault condition logic outputs.

The NXE1.52 amplifier is also compatible with optional Dante, CobraNet, or AES3 digital audio capability (factory-installed), providing a wide range of digital audio options. A Real-Time Clock with Event Scheduler allows for automatic execution of selected functions and tasks, programmed using PneS software and stored in the amplifier.

For remote control, the amplifier is compatible with the Ashly Remote free app, allowing for custom design of secure wireless control over a network. The NXE1.52 features Class-D Switching Amplifier Technology and a switch-mode power supply, which automatically detects 110 - 120VAC or 220 - 240VAC operation.

The Multi-Mode Operation with Selectable Outputs on each channel lets you choose the desired output mode. Set the DIP-switch configuration for Low Impedance (2, 4, and 8 Ohm), or Constant Voltage (70V or 100V), and you're ready to go.

The NXE1.52 is equipped with the power-saving Ashly EMS (Energy Management System), which provides an automatic sleep-mode drawing less than 1 Watt (defeatable). With multiple internal power supplies, the NXE1.52 ensures increased channel separation and reliability.

The NXE1.52 is a 2-channel multi-mode amplifier capable of driving 2 Ohm loads at full power. The maximum rated output power is 1,500W per channel at Low Z and 70V modes, and 1,250W in 100V mode. The unit features a front panel power switch and level controls that can be disabled. LEDs indicate various statuses including Protect, Sleep, Disabled, Com, and Bridge mode, as well as Temperature, Output Current, Output Signal, and Clipping/Mute status per channel.

The amplifier has temperature-dependent variable speed forced-air cooling, ensuring optimal performance. The unit is lightweight, weighing less than 22.7 lbs (10.3kg), and measures 19"W x 3.5"H x 16.8"D (483mm x 89mm x 428mm), making it suitable for mounting in a standard 19" rack.

  • Selectable 80Hz Hipass filter, limiter, and input gain per channel, via rear panel
  • Remote DC level control per channel
  • Extensive protection circuitry, continuously variable cooling fan
  • Ethernet port for software control and monitoring of amplifier functions, with front panel COM activity LED
  • Serial data port available for Ashly WR-5 and RD-8C programmable remote control (optional RS-232 converter INA-1 available for third party controllers)
  • Instant Standby Mode, 30% reduction in idle power consumption, triggered by contact closure, software control, or event scheduler
  • Preset recall via contact closure, software control, remote control, or event scheduler
  • Programmable power-on delay
  • Aux preamp line outputs for driving other amplifiers
  • Fault condition logic outputs per channel
  • Neutrik Combo XLR - 1/4" TRS jack plus Euroblock input connectors
  • Neutrik speakON twist locking loudspeaker connectors
