About the Ashly nXp Series nXP8004 4-Channel 800W Power Amplifier with Programmable Outputs & Protea Software Suite
The Ashly nXp Series nXP8004 is a high-density, intelligent four-channel network amplifier designed for demanding applications requiring substantial power and sophisticated system control. Each channel delivers 800 watts of robust, efficient Class D amplification, making it capable of driving high-performance loudspeakers in large installed venues, touring systems, or distributed audio networks. A defining characteristic of this amplifier is its programmable output configuration, allowing each channel to be software-defined via network for specific operating modes such as low-impedance, 70V, or 100V operation. This eliminates physical switches and jumpers, enabling complete system setup, optimization, and reconfiguration remotely from a computer running the included Protea Software Suite.
The integration of the Protea Software Suite provides this amplifier with a deep, professional-grade digital signal processing engine directly onboard. Accessible through an Ethernet connection, the DSP offers comprehensive per-channel tools including parametric EQ, output delay, crossover filters, and compressor/limiters. This allows for meticulous acoustic tuning, speaker system optimization, and protective limiting without the need for any external processor. The software provides a graphical interface for intuitive system design, real-time monitoring of critical parameters like output level, temperature, and impedance, and the storage of multiple presets for different events or operating schedules.
Housed in a 2U rack-mountable chassis engineered for optimal thermal performance, the nXP8004 is built for reliable 24/7 operation. Its combination of exceptional power density, fully programmable outputs, extensive Protea DSP, and networked control makes it a highly flexible and intelligent amplification platform. The Ashly nXP8004 is engineered for system architects who require a future-proof, software-configurable powerhouse that can serve as the central amplification and processing core for the most sophisticated audio networks.
