About theAshly nX3.04 Programmable Output Power Amplifier
The Ashly nX3.04 is a programmable four-channel power amplifier designed for high-performance audio reinforcement in demanding commercial and installed sound applications. It delivers substantial power with each channel capable of 300 watts into 8 ohms or 500 watts into 4 ohms, and all 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 arrays, fill speakers, or distributed systems in venues such as large houses of worship, performing arts centers, and corporate auditoriums. The amplifier integrates Ashly’s Protea DSP software, offering 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 is a central feature, allowing for remote management and monitoring over a standard Ethernet connection. System administrators can access the amplifier 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 robust power delivery and intelligent system control, reducing the need for external processing hardware.Built for continuous, reliable operation, the nX3.04 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 multi-channel power with network-programmable DSP in a single unit, the Ashly nX3.04 offers a powerful and flexible solution that enhances system performance, simplifies control, and reduces complexity for sophisticated fixed-installation sound reinforcement.
