About the Ashly nX Series NX4002 2-Channel 400W Power Amplifier with Programmable Outputs
The Ashly nX4002 is a programmable two-channel power amplifier designed for high-performance sound reinforcement in demanding commercial and installed applications. It delivers robust power with each channel capable of 400 watts into 4 ohms or 250 watts into 8 ohms, and both channels configurable for 70V/100V constant-voltage operation, providing versatile power delivery for a wide range of loudspeaker systems. This flexibility makes it suitable for powering main loudspeakers, subwoofers, or distributed systems in venues such as houses of worship, performing arts centers, and corporate auditoriums. The amplifier integrates Ashly's Protea DSP software, which provides comprehensive digital signal processing for each output channel, including parametric EQ, crossover filters, limiters, and delay, enabling precise optimization and protection of connected loudspeakers directly within the amplifier.
Network connectivity enables remote management and monitoring over a standard Ethernet connection, allowing system administrators to access the amplifier via a web browser or Ashly's software. From a central location, they can adjust processing parameters, monitor real-time performance metrics such as output level and thermal status, mute channels, and recall stored presets for different events or operational modes. This remote capability, supporting protocols like Telnet and SNMP, streamlines system commissioning, routine adjustments, and troubleshooting, and facilitates integration with larger third-party control systems. The amplifier's design represents a fusion of high-current amplification and intelligent, networked control.
Built for continuous, reliable operation, the nX4002 features efficient Class-H amplification technology, a robust power supply, comprehensive protection circuitry, and a variable-speed fan for effective thermal management. Its 2U rack-mountable chassis is designed for professional installations, with a front panel that provides clear status indicators and basic controls. The rear panel includes balanced XLR and terminal block inputs, as well as binding post and terminal block outputs for flexible system integration. By combining substantial power output with network-programmable DSP in a single unit, the Ashly nX4002 offers a powerful and flexible solution that enhances system performance, simplifies control, and reduces complexity for sophisticated fixed-installation sound reinforcement.
