About the Ashly nX3.02 Programmable Output Power Amplifier
The Ashly nX3.02 is a programmable two-channel power amplifier designed to deliver robust, high-fidelity amplification for professional installed sound applications. It provides substantial output power, capable of 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms or 500 watts per channel into 4 ohms, with both channels also configurable for 70V/100V constant-voltage operation to support distributed speaker systems. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of environments, from houses of worship and performing arts centers to corporate auditoriums and multi-zone commercial installations. The amplifier incorporates 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 for specific loudspeakers and room acoustics directly from the amplifier itself.
Network connectivity is a key feature, allowing the amplifier to be integrated into a facility's IP network for remote management and monitoring. Through a standard Ethernet connection, system administrators can access the unit via a web browser or Ashly's software to 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 emphasizes both powerful amplification and intelligent system control, reducing the need for external processing hardware.
Built for continuous, reliable operation, the nX3.02 features efficient Class-H amplification technology, a robust power supply, 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 nX3.02 offers a powerful and flexible solution that enhances system performance, simplifies control, and reduces complexity for sophisticated fixed-installation sound reinforcement.
