About Ashly NXP1.52

Discover the power and versatility of the NXP1.52 2-Channel Networkable Multi-Mode Power Amplifier with Protea DSP and OPDante Option Card. This advanced amplifier is designed to meet the rigorous demands of live sound environments and fixed audio installations, making it an ideal choice for performance venues, stadiums, arenas, convention centers, schools, storefronts, and worship spaces.

The NXP1.52 is part of the NX series, which includes the base model series (NX), the networkable series (NXE), and the networkable series with DSP (NXP). This model stands out for its Ethernet Control using Protea NE software, allowing for seamless integration into your audio network. It also offers serial data control by Ashly programmable remotes or third-party controllers, providing you with flexibility and control.

This high-quality amplifier features 32-bit SHARC DSP Processing at 48kHz or 96kHz Sample Rates, offering comprehensive software control of digital signal processing, matrix and auto-mixing. It also includes a built-in signal generator for test tone and noise-masking, swept output load impedance monitoring, and Ashly Remote iPad control for selecting DSP functions such as gain, mute, matrix, A/B source select, PEQ filter level, and meters.

The NXP1.52 is FIR Filter-Ready, meaning it can load a speaker manufacturer's .fir or .csv file to achieve precision tuning. It also boasts Class-D Switching Amplifier Technology, featuring a switch-mode power supply that automatically detects 110 - 120VAC or 220 - 240VAC operation. This makes the NXP1.52 one of the lightest and most efficient amplifiers in its class.

The amplifier offers Multi-Mode Operation with Selectable Outputs on each channel, allowing you to choose your desired output mode. Set the DIP-switch configuration for Low Impedance (2, 4, and 8 Ohm), or Constant Voltage (70V or 100V) for maximum flexibility. The NXP1.52 also features Ashly EMS (Energy Management System), which provides an automatic sleep-mode drawing less than 1 Watt, enhancing its energy efficiency.

Experience the power of the NXP1.52, a 2-channel multi-mode amplifier capable of driving 2 Ohm loads at full power, with a maximum rated output power of 1,500W per channel at Low Z and 70V modes, and 1,250W in 100V mode. It also offers an automatic but defeatable sleep mode, selectable output mode of Low Z, 70V, or 100V, an 80Hz high-pass filter, input limiter, and input gain settings of 26dB, 32dB, 38dB, or 1.4V.

The NXP1.52 is equipped with Neutral XLR/TRS combo jack and Euroblock input connectors, and Neutral speakON output connectors. It also features a front panel power switch and level controls that can be disabled, and LEDs that indicate various statuses such as Protect, Sleep, Disabled, Com, and Bridge mode, as well as Temperature, Output Current, Output Signal, and Clipping/Mute status per channel.

With the NXP1.52, you get more than just a powerful amplifier. You get a durable, efficient, and advanced piece of equipment that's ready to take your audio experience to the next level.
