Connecting and controlling an
amplifier for networked systems has now been simplified with Ashly's NE Series amplifiers. Network Enabled (NE) amplifi- ers offer ease of use, setup and control using standard 10/100
Ethernet proto- col and Protea NE Software. No special outboard control units are needed.
Four, four-
channel models with output power at 250W are available to fill a wide variety of
low impedance, 25V, 70V and 100V performance installation or constant
voltage applications. NE Series amplifiers are offered two ways; standard input with euroblock connectors and "pe" (Protea Enabled) with euroblock input connectors and world renowned Protea
DSP signal process- ing.
The
DSP signal processing library is extensive and utilizes two SHARC 32-
bit/ 96kHz processors. Processing blocks include Graphic, Parametric, Notch and Shelving
Equalization, High-, Low- and All-Pass Filters (HPF/LPF/APF) with up to 48dB/
Octave slopes,
Delay,
Compressor/
Limiter,
Gate,
Ducking, Auto-leveler,
Gain and Signal Generators (sinewave, white and
pink noise). A full Matrix
Mixer with assignable routing allows any input to drive any or all
amplifier out- puts. Presets can be used to store and retrieve global parameters of an entire
amplifier's
control surface and
DSP section.
Additionally, each
amplifier also provides
DC voltage control of the attenu- ators which makes it a snap to control
volume from remote locations, preset recall, Remote Power Standby and data in and out ports for connecting accessories like the
WR-5 to control user selected parameters. There are
LED indicators for power, standby, protect, network communications and each
channel has a four-step signal meter, bridge
mono, temperature and current indicators.
Four-
channel Mic-pre,
AES/EBU, and Cobranet modules will be available as options. Eight-
channel NE series amplifiers are also available.
