Ashly NXE3.02 2-Channel Networkable Multi-Mode Power Amplifier with CNM-2 CobraNet and OPDAC4 Option Cards

An embodiment of cutting-edge audio amplification technology, the NXE3.02 2-Channel Networkable Multi-Mode Power Amplifier is engineered to deliver unparalleled performance in a wide array of venues, including live sound environments, performance spaces, educational institutions, retail settings, and houses of worship. This versatile amplifier is part of a distinguished line that includes the NX (base model series), NXE (networkable), and NXP (networkable with DSP), catering to a range of professional audio needs.

The NXE3.02 stands out with its Ethernet Control capabilities, allowing seamless integration and management via Protea NE software. This feature, coupled with the option for serial data control through Ashly programmable remotes or third-party controllers, ensures that users have comprehensive control over their audio systems. The amplifier also boasts auxiliary preamp outputs, an instant standby mode for energy conservation, preset recall for efficient operation, and fault condition logic outputs for advanced system monitoring.

Enhancing its networkable attributes, the NXE3.02 comes equipped with CNM-2 CobraNet and OPDAC4 Option Cards, providing additional digital audio connectivity options such as Dante, CobraNet, or AES3, all factory-installed for user convenience. The Real-Time Clock with Event Scheduler further elevates the user experience by automating functions and tasks, programmed via PneS software and stored within the amplifier itself.

Remote control is revolutionized with the Ashly Remote iPad app, a free tool that allows for secure, wireless control over the network, designed to cater to the user's specific needs. The NXE3.02 also features Class-D Switching Amplifier Technology, with a switch-mode power supply that automatically adapts to varying voltages, enhancing its global usability and making it one of the lightest amplifiers in its class.

The Multi-Mode Operation of the NXE3.02 is another highlight, offering selectable outputs on each channel to accommodate Low Impedance (2, 4, and 8 Ohm) or Constant Voltage (70V or 100V) configurations, easily set via DIP-switches. Energy efficiency is not overlooked, with Ashly's EMS (Energy Management System) providing an automatic sleep-mode that draws less than 1 Watt when activated, though this feature can be disabled if preferred.

Internally, the NXE3.02 is designed with multiple power supplies to ensure increased channel separation and reliability. Each channel is capable of driving 2 Ohm loads at full power, with a maximum rated output power of 3,000W per channel at Low Z, 2,450W per channel in 70V mode, and 1,250W in 100V mode. Connectivity is robust, featuring Neutrik XLR/TRS combo jack and Euroblock input connectors, and Neutrik speakON output connectors.

The front panel of the NXE3.02 is intuitively designed with a power switch and level controls that can be disabled for security. Status indicators include LEDs for Protect, Sleep, Disabled, Com, and Bridge mode, as well as Temperature, Output Current, Output Signal, and Clipping/Mute per channel. The amplifier is cooled by a temperature-dependent variable speed forced-air system, ensuring optimal performance under varying conditions.

With a lightweight and rack-mountable design, the NXE3.02 measures 19"W x 3.5"H x 16.8"D and weighs less than 22.7 lbs (10.3kg), making it an ideal choice for installations where space and weight are considerations. This powerful and flexible amplifier is poised to meet and exceed the rigorous demands of professional audio applications, delivering exceptional sound quality and reliability.
