* Values indicated by an asterisk are intended as guidelines only. Amplifier is not rated for this load impedance  

  and may self-protect depending on load and program.

All NE two channel power amplifiers come standard with

 

XLR and Euroblock input connectors, and SpeakON/Euroblock 

output connectors. All models include balanced analog inputs, bridge mono mode, an 80Hz hi-pass filter, input sensitivity switch, 

full Ethernet control using Ashly 

Protea

ne 

software, remote standby for power up, and DC remote level control. Also included 

are Analog Aux Outputs on XLR and Euroblock connectors. The Aux Outputs are buffered signals taken just before the power 

amplifier stage. If there is no DSP installed in the amplifier, the Aux Outputs are simply a buffered signal matching the inputs. 

If the amplifier has DSP, Aux Outputs can be independently configured along with the two main amplifier channels with custom 

DSP processing and input source, including AES3 or network audio sources, if installed.

Additional factory installed options are available for the 

NE

 

two channel power amplifiers which include the following:

1) DSP Processing (PE)

 - Factory installed DSP and 

Protea

ne

 

software allows amplifier channels to be configured with 

pluggable DSP blocks for dynamics controls, gain functions, FIR filters (output only), graphic and/or parametric EQ, hi-pass/

lo-pass filters, crossover (output only), time delay, metering, or test signal generator. A mixer section with assignable routing 

allows any input to drive any output, including auxilliary outputs. Input and output channels can copy/paste their settings to 

another channel, or can link with one or more other channels to track their settings. Further details are available in the specifica

-

tions or in software online help. 

Presets can store and retrieve global parameters of an amplifier’s control surface and DSP section from a file. In addition, 

Sub Presets allow for a collection of individual DSP function parameters within and across both channels of an amplifier to be 

stored and recalled as a set, affecting only those parameters which have been tagged. Up to 35 device presets/subpresets can be 

stored within the amplifier, and can be recalled from software.

2) AES3 Input (OPAES1)

 - With the OPAES1 option installed, this amplifier can accept AES3 stereo digital inputs. This 

protocol allows 2 channels of digital audio to be transmitted over a single cable, thus maintaining a completely digital signal 

path until just before the power amplification stage. 48kHz & 96kHz data rates are supported.

3) Network Digital Audio (CNM-2 or OPDante)

 - Ashly supports CobraNet and Dante network audio options which 

must be factory installed when purchasing the amplifier. CobraNet

®

 

www.cobranet.info

 is a combination of software, hardware 

and network protocol which allows distribution of multiple channels of real-time, high quality digital audio over a standard 

Ethernet Network. 

Dante™, created by 

Audinate

is an Ethernet based digital AV network technology that uses existing 100MB 

or 1GB network infrastructure for delivery of high performance, high channel count audio signals.
