NXP 1.54 - Overview

Introducing the Ashly series of nX, nXe, or nXp power amplifiers. These products use state of the art, light weight, high power, high efficiency switching technology developed through years of design and field testing. nX amplifiers are available in three series, designed to meet the most demanding live sound and fixed installation sound systems in stadiums, arenas, performance venues, worship spaces and convention centers as well as schools, store fronts,and worship spaces.

Available as three separate amplifier series, NX offers 2 or 4-channel models as NX (base model series), NXE (networkable),or NXP (networkable + DSP).

Ethernet Control using Protea™ NE software.
Also, serial data control by Ashly programmable remotes or third party controllers, aux preamp outputs, instant standby mode, preset recall, fault condition logic outputs, optional Dante™, CobraNet™, or AES3 digital audio capability (factory-installed).

Real-Time Clock with Event Scheduler.
Assign automatic execution of selected functions and tasks. The event scheduler is programmed using PneS software and stored in the amplifier.

Ashly Remote Control via iPad® app.
Use our free Ashly Remote app available for custom design of secure wireless control over a network.

32-bit SHARC DSP Processing at 48kHz or 96kHz Sample Rates.
Comprehensive software control of digital signal processing, matrix and auto-mixing, built-in signal generator for test tone and noise-masking, swept output load impedance monitoring. Use Ashly Remote iPad control to select DSP functions including gain, mute, matrix, A/B source select, PEQ filter level, and meters.

FIR Filter-Ready.
Our PneS software will load a speaker manufacturer's .fir or .csv file to achieve precision tuning.

Class-D Switching Amplifier Technology.
NXP features a switch-mode power supply which automatically detects 120VAC or 240VAC operation and makes NXP one of the lightest in its class.

Multi-Mode Operation.
Selectable Outputs on each channel allow you to choose the desired output mode. Set the DIP-switch configuration for Low Impedance (2, 4, and 8 Ohm), or Constant Voltage (70V or 100V) and you’re set to go.

Energy Efficiency.
NXP has power-saving Ashly EMS™ (Energy Management System) which provides an automatic sleep-mode drawing less than 1 Watt (defeatable).

Multiple Internal Power Supplies.
NXP provides increased channel separation and reliability.

Please Note: All Ashly nX, nXe & nXp amps include the appropriate power cable that corresponds with the amps power connector.
