About the Ashly NE4250.25PED Network Amplifier with Dante Option Card
The Ashly NE4250.25PED is a network-enabled four-channel power amplifier specifically configured for modern Dante audio networks and constant-voltage speaker systems. This model comes equipped with an installed Dante option card, providing native Audio over IP connectivity right out of the box. It is designed to directly drive 25V, 70V, and 100V distributed speaker lines, making it an all-in-one solution for commercial background music and paging applications in facilities like shopping centers, airports, and corporate campuses. The amplifier leverages efficient Class D technology to deliver 250 watts per channel, providing clean and reliable power for extensive multi-zone audio distribution.
The inclusion of the Dante card transforms this amplifier into an intelligent endpoint on a Dante network. It can receive digital audio streams for all four channels directly over a standard Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate analog audio wiring from a central processor. This facilitates flexible, scalable system design where audio can be routed from any Dante source on the network. The amplifier also features onboard DSP for each channel, configurable via network software, allowing for essential zone-specific processing like parametric EQ, output delay, and protective limiting to be applied at the amplifier itself.
Housed in a compact 1U rack-mountable chassis, the NE4250.25PED is built for reliable 24/7 operation. It includes comprehensive protection against faults and allows for remote monitoring of parameters such as output level and temperature. By combining constant-voltage outputs, built-in Dante networking, and per-channel DSP in a single unit, this amplifier represents a highly integrated, future-proof solution for powering and managing extensive commercial sound systems within a modern networked audio architecture.
