Ashly ne24.24mt 4x12 Logic Protea DSP Audio Matrix Processor 4-In x 12-Out with Logic Card

$2,699.00

The ne24.24M series is built around a standard 4x4 base unit. The 4x12 Logic configuration is achieved by adding two 4-channel output cards and a General Purpose Output (GPO) Logic card to the base unit's expansion slots. The GPO card adds functionality to trigger external devices like projection screens, curtains, or lights based on presets or other defined logic. All configuration and control are done via a PC using Ashly's Protea NE Software over an Ethernet or RS-232 connection. The unit is tamper-proof due to the absence of front-panel controls and multi-level software security. The extensive built-in DSP includes a full suite of functions for each channel, such as equalization, delay, gates, and auto-levelers.

About the Ashly ne24.24mt 4x12 Logic Protea DSP Audio Matrix Processor 4-In x 12-Out with Logic Card

The Ashly ne24.24mt 4x12 Logic Protea DSP Audio Matrix Processor is a specialized digital signal processor configured for applications requiring both multi-zone audio distribution and external system control triggers. This variant provides four analog inputs for critical sources and twelve independent analog outputs, making it perfectly suited for commercial installations like restaurants, retail stores, or small office buildings where a handful of sources must be distributed to numerous zones. The inclusion of a Logic Card elevates its functionality beyond pure audio processing, enabling the unit to generate configurable contact closure signals based on audio activity or preset changes, allowing for basic automation of other room systems.

At its audio core, the processor leverages the powerful Protea System DSP, providing comprehensive processing on every channel. Inputs can be configured with gain, EQ, and dynamics, while each of the twelve output zones has its own dedicated parametric EQ, delay, compressor/limiter, and crossover filters. This allows an integrator to perfectly tune the audio for acoustically diverse spaces, such as a hardwood-floored lobby, a carpeted conference room, and an outdoor patio, all from a single centralized unit. The software-based design supports the creation and instant recall of multiple presets, enabling the space to adapt its audio behavior for different functions like business hours, after-hours cleaning, or special events.

The integrated General Purpose Output (GPO) Logic Card provides dry-contact relay outputs that can be programmed to activate based on specific conditions within the audio processor. For example, a relay can be triggered when a paging microphone is activated, which could in turn mute a music source or turn on a "ON AIR" light. This capability for simple, audio-driven automation makes the processor a more integral part of the overall room system. Housed in a 1U rack chassis with dual Ethernet for control, the Ashly ne24.24mt 4x12 Logic model is a smart, compact solution for integrators looking to deploy a capable, automated multi-zone audio system.
