4. REMOTE AMPLIFIER CONTROL
ON/OFF/Remote Standby
The NE two channel amplifiers have three possible states, OFF, ON, and STANDBY, each with a status LED on the front
panel. Control for these three states is managed by the following:
1)
Power Switch
- When the power switch is turned off the amplifier is completely off, UNLESS the power switch has
been disabled from within
s
oftware, in which case the power switch on the amplifier has no effect at all. If the power switch
has been disabled from software, the front panel DISABLE LED will be lit.
Even if the AC power is removed, the amplifier’s
internal memory will maintain the <power switch disabled> status until changed again from software. Performing a factory
reset will clear and restore all internal amplifier memory to factory settings.
2)
Remote Standby Contact Closure
- When these two euroblock pins on the back of the amplifier (see amplifier rear
panel illustration #10) are wired to a switch and
connected
, the amp will go into Standby mode, whereby the amp is active but
not fully powered up. For Remote Standby to work, the power switch must be turned on OR be disabled through software.

Software On/Standby
- On/Standby in software functions
the same as the Remote Standby contact closure on the back panel. Clicking on
STANDBY places the amp in standby mode. The On/Standby in software does
not override the hardware Remote Standby, they both remain active.

2) neWR-5 Programmable
Button Controller
3) FR-8 or FR-16 Programmable
Fader Controller
Other Ashly Remote Controls for NE Two-Channel Amplifiers:
1) WR-1 DC Level Controller
- The WR-1 (WR-1E) is a dual potentiometer remote DC level controller designed to fit in
a standard US (UK) electrical wall box. Each volume control can be wired to an amplifier’s “Remote Level Control” connector.
2) neWR-5 Programmable Button Controller
- T
he neWR-5 is an Ethernet based programmable button controller
for
networked Ashly products that have Protea DSP. The neWR-5 mounts in a standard US electrical wall box. Using Protea
ne
software,
buttons can be programmed for preset recall/scroll, mute, zone source selection, individual channel and matrix point level control.
3) FR-8/FR-16 Programmable Fader Controller
- T
he FR-8 and FR-16 are Ethernet based programmable fader control
-
lers
for networked Ashly products that have Protea DSP. Faders and LED buttons can be programmed for individual or group
channel level control, matrix point level control, signal level display, mute, and A/B source selection. The FR remotes can be wall
mounted in an electrical box, panel mounted, or freestanding, and have a back panel contact closure for a user lockout switch.
4) Ashly Remote app for iPad
®
- For amplifiers with Protea DSP installed, a
custom and secure touch-screen control inter-
face for the Pad
®
can be designed using the <Ashly Remote> application, available free from iTunes
®
or the Ashly website. Controls,
labels, and images are combined to manage key amplifier functions over a wireles network connection.

Software Power Switch Enable/Disable
-
Use this software fea
-
ture to disable the front panel power switch. If the power switch has been disabled from
software, the front panel DISABLE LED will light on the amplifier. The power switch will
remain inactive until enabled again from software, even if the amp is removed from power.
