The Ashly ne24.24M is a sophisticated, large-format network audio matrix processor designed as a central routing and processing hub for complex, multi-zone installed sound systems. This unit provides extensive connectivity with 16 analog input and 24 analog output channels, offering a massive 16x24 audio matrix that allows any input to be routed to any output at any level. It is built around Ashly's powerful Protea DSP platform, delivering high-resolution 96kHz processing for each channel. This includes comprehensive tools such as parametric and graphic EQ, crossover filters, dynamics processing, delay, and gain control, enabling precise tuning and optimization for each output zone and its associated loudspeakers in large venues like performing arts centers, stadiums, major houses of worship, and broadcast facilities.

Network integration is fundamental to the processor's operation, providing complete remote control, real-time monitoring, and system diagnostics via dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for redundancy and network flexibility. System administrators can access the unit from any location on the network using a web browser or Ashly's dedicated software to adjust the complex matrix, route signals, recall presets for different events, and monitor system health. This network capability supports industry-standard protocols like TCP/IP, Telnet, and SNMP, enabling seamless integration into larger building management or third-party control systems. The ability to manage this extensive audio network remotely is critical for the commissioning and ongoing operation of large-scale installations.

Housed in a robust 3U rack-mountable chassis designed for 24/7 reliability, the ne24.24M emphasizes both immense connectivity and operational intelligence. It represents the high end of Ashly's fixed-installation processor line, capable of handling the most demanding system designs. By consolidating the functions of a massive audio router, mixer, and system processor into a single, network-manageable unit, the Ashly ne24.24M provides a scalable, future-proof, and highly controllable audio backbone for professional installations where unparalleled routing flexibility, processing power, and centralized control are non-negotiable requirements.
