Ashly Audio’s new nX family of class-D amplifiers is aimed at fixed installation and live sound applications.
The new line includes three series of nX amps – base models are available with four or two channels, rated at 3kW or 1.5kW per channel (2Ω) and feature a defeatable automatic sleep mode. nXe series amps add Ethernet control, serial data control, aux preamp outputs, programmable standby mode, preset recall, fault condition logic outputs, event scheduling, and optional network audio and digital audio capability (CobraNet or AES3). nXp series amplifiers feature extend the nXe feature set with onboard 32-bit SHARC Protea DSP processing (48kHz or 96kHz sampling rate) and precision swept load-impedance monitoring.
Additional features include multiple independent power supplies for increased channel separation and reliability; front panel power switch and level controls (defeatable in nXe and nXp models); front panel LEDs for temperature, current, signal, clip, mute, bridge mode, protect, sleep, and more; Neutrik Combo XLR/TRS jack plus Euroblock input connectors; Neutrik speakn twist locking loudspeaker connectors for security, safety, and reliability; rear panel DIP switches per channel for selection of high-pass filter, limiter, input gain, and high-Z or how-Z speaker output configuration; remote DC level control on each input channel; switch mode power supply automatically detects 120V or 240V AC operation; and extensive protection circuitry, including continuously variable cooling fans.
‘nX amplifiers are lightweight and efficient, yet pack a tremendous amount of power and flexibility into a 2U-high chassis,’ says Ashly Director of Communications, Anthony Errigo. ‘We have designed them to meet the demanding requirements of stadiums, arenas, performance venues, worship spaces, and convention centers – anywhere big sound and modern performance requirements are needed. nX amplifiers are especially appealing for value-engineered installs because they offer features, performance, and reliability that Ashly is known to deliver.’
