NE
Multi Channel Power Amplifiers
The WR-5
is a microprocessor based remote
control unit which can be used with the NE multi-
channel amplifiers. The WR-5 is designed to fit into
a standard electrical wall box. Up to four WR-5
remotes can be phantom powered from one ampli-
fier, and adding more remotes is possible using an
external power supply. Each of six buttons on the
WR-5 can be programmed to engage one of the fol-
lowing functions:
1) Preset recall
2) Preset scroll
3) Channel volume
4) Channel mute
5) Zone input source selection (requires DSP)
Programming of each button is done from Pro-
tea Software when the WR-5 is wired to its host NE am-
plifier, and the amplifier is connected to a PC via ethernet.
Up to four WR-5 units can be daisy-chained from the same
amplifier. See your Ashly dealer or visit the Ashly web
site at www.ashly.com for more WR-5 details.
RD-8C or RW-8C Remote Control
A second microprocessor based controller, the Ashly
RD-8C
,
is an eight channel wall mount level controller
that uses slide faders for individual channel and master
level control and mute. NOTE: When an RD-8C is used,
no other microprocessor based remotes can be used.
WR-1 Remote Level Control
Individual amplifier channels can have remote level
control using a potentiometer assembly such as the Ashly
WR-1 and four conductor wire. The WR-1 is a dual po-
tentiometer remote volume control designed to fit in a stan-
dard wall electrical box. Each volume control is connected
to a terminal block on the WR-1 circuit board, which in
turn must be wired to the amplifier back panel euroblock
connector labeled "Remote Level Control" as shown.
Do
not connect the WR-1 remote level control ground to any
other external grounds.
