What sets the PEMA 8250 8-Channel Amplifier apart is its integration of Ashly's renowned Protea Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and the flexibility of an OPDante Option Card, delivering a powerful and advanced audio amplification solution. This high-quality unit is engineered for professional audio applications, offering unparalleled clarity and control for small to mid-sized installations.
The PEMA 8250 is a testament to Ashly's commitment to durability and reliability, housed within a compact two-rack space unit that streamlines system installation and programming. Its energy-efficient design not only reduces overall system costs but also minimizes the environmental footprint.
With eight amplifier channels, each capable of delivering 125 to 250 Watts per channel, this amplifier ensures robust and transparent audio performance, thanks to its full 96kHz capability on 32-bit SHARC processors. The versatility of the PEMA 8250 is further enhanced by its comprehensive DSP algorithms, which include ambient noise compensation, advanced automatic feedback suppression, and a full suite of filters, EQs, and delays.
The PEMA 8250 simplifies system design by offering DSP control over amplifier functionality, such as bridge-mode operation, high-pass filter settings for constant voltage systems, and stereo-linking of channel pairs. The first channel also features MIC/LINE/TEL-PAGE functions, with full-range remote-gain control capability, ensuring a seamless audio experience.
Connectivity is a breeze with eight balanced input channels, software-selectable for mic or line levels, and eight pairs of summed-mono RCA connectors, optimized for consumer line-level devices. The first channel includes a transformer-isolated TEL-PBX level for added flexibility. Eight preamp auxiliary outputs allow for efficient signal routing, ensuring that the PEMA 8250 can adapt to the specific needs of any installation.
Programming and deployment are made easy with Ashly's Protea ne Software, which utilizes standard 10/100 Ethernet protocol for setup on a PC platform. Hot-plug DSP placement and automatic DHCP network IP configuration reduce setup time, while lockable front panel controls and multi-level software security with password access ensure a secure audio system.
Architects and engineers will appreciate the PEMA 8250's comprehensive specifications, including its eight power amplifier outputs, individual mute capability, and extensive processing blocks for fine-tuning the audio experience. The unit's robust construction and temperature-dependent speed-controlled axial fan ensure long-term reliability, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a professional-grade, network audio amplifier.
