Ashly PEMA Series Eight-Channel 250W 25V Protea-Equipped Media Amplifier

Under the banner of precision-engineered audio solutions, the PEMA Series Eight-Channel 250W 25V Protea-Equipped Media Amplifier stands as a paragon of innovation and performance. This powerful and high-quality media amplifier is designed to redefine the standards of zone sound systems, integrating advanced open-architecture DSP with robust amplifier capabilities within a compact two-rack space unit.

The PEMA Series is not only efficient in its energy consumption but also streamlines the installation and programming process, significantly reducing system costs and spatial footprint. With options for both four and eight amplifier channels at 125 and 250 Watts per channel, this series caters to a variety of audio amplification needs. The full 96kHz performance, powered by 32-bit SHARC processors, ensures utterly transparent audio, making it a durable choice for professionals seeking pristine sound quality.

The PEMA Series supports both CobraNet and Dante network audio protocols, with the latest addition of Dante Transmit, enhancing its network control capabilities. This feature alone makes it an attractive alternative to other amplifiers that lack such sophisticated networking options. The built-in DSP is FIR Filter capable and boasts an 8-in x 8-out sophisticated matrix mixing, along with 8 built-in mic preamps, which further exemplifies its advanced technological prowess.

Additional features include gain sharing automatic microphone mixing (Automixer), automatic feedback suppression, and ambient noise compensation, all of which contribute to a superior audio experience. The dedicated telephone/PBX input, dual RCA, and balanced euroblock inputs, along with post-DSP AUX line level outputs, provide extensive connectivity options.

The PEMA Series also offers a comprehensive suite of Ashly Protea DSP tools, hot-plug DSP placement, and a choice between 96kHz or 48kHz sample rates. The 32-Bit SHARC DSP and 24-Bit A/D-D/A audio resolution ensure high-fidelity sound, while the 15V phantom power supports mic inputs seamlessly.

Control of the PEMA Series is made effortless with Ashly software over a 10/100 baseT Ethernet, featuring an easy and intuitive user interface. The automatic DHCP network IP configuration simplifies network integration, while Euroblock connectors facilitate preset recall, DC remote level control, and serial data control.

External control is versatile, with options including Ashly standard wall remotes, Ethernet wall remotes, or the Ashly Remote iPad App. The level control can be adjusted via variable DC control voltage, and the Stand-By mode can be activated through contact closure. With multi-level security and compliance with cTUVus, CE, FCC, and RoHS standards, the PEMA Series ensures a safe and secure operation.

The PEMA Series revolutionizes sound system design for consultants and integrators, delivering an elegant solution that impresses with its simplicity, sophistication, and reliability. The DSP algorithms, such as FIR filter capability, ambient noise compensation, and advanced automatic feedback suppression, along with a full array of filters, EQs, delays, and more, provide comprehensive control over the sound.

Ideal for small to mid-sized installations, the PEMA Series offers an optimal I/O count and formats, with eight balanced input channels, software-selectable mic or line levels, and additional RCA connectors for consumer devices. The eight preamp auxiliary outputs allow for flexible signal routing within the system.

As part of the esteemed Protea DSP family, the PEMA Series is remarkably user-friendly in terms of programming and deployment, with all setup accomplished using standard Ethernet protocols and Protea ne Software on a PC platform. The hot-plug DSP placement ensures uninterrupted audio during live adjustments, and lockable front panel controls paired with multi-level software security with password access maintain a tamper-proof audio system.

Digital Signal Processing for the PEMA Series is intuitive and user-friendly, eliminating the need for extensive training. The common-sense layout, online help, and technical support ensure that users can easily navigate and utilize the full potential of this sophisticated audio amplification system.
