About theAshly nXp Series NXP8002 2-Channel 800W Power Amplifier with Programmable Outputs & Protea Software Suite
The Ashly nXp Series NXP8002 is a high-performance two-channel network amplifier that merges substantial power output with the advanced configurability and processing of the Protea Software Suite. Each channel delivers 800 watts of robust, efficient amplification, making it suitable for driving demanding loudspeakers in live sound, installed venue, and high-output distributed systems. A standout feature is its programmable output configuration, which allows each channel to be software-defined for specific operating modes and parameters via the network, providing unparalleled flexibility and eliminating the need for physical hardware adjustments during installation or reconfiguration.The integration of the Protea Software Suite provides this amplifier with deep, professional-grade digital signal processing directly onboard. Accessible through an Ethernet connection, the DSP includes comprehensive tools such as parametric EQ, output delay, crossover filters, and compressor/limiters for each channel. This enables precise acoustic tuning, speaker optimization, and system protection without requiring an external processor. The software offers a graphical interface for intuitive system design, real-time monitoring of output level, temperature, and impedance, and the storage of multiple presets for different events or operating conditions.Housed in a 2U rack-mountable chassis with robust thermal management, the NXP8002 is built for reliable operation under demanding conditions. Its combination of high power, programmable outputs, extensive Protea DSP, and network control positions it as an intelligent and versatile amplification solution for system architects who require a powerful, software-configurable amplifier capable of serving as the core of a sophisticated and easily managed audio network.
Key Features
• Integrated Protea DSP: Comprehensive suite includes EQ, matrix mixer, dynamics, and crossovers.• Precision load impedance monitoring: Swept analysis on each channel helps diagnose speaker problems remotely via Ethernet.• Energy Management System (EMS): An automatic sleep mode reduces idle power draw to less than 1W, for maximum power savings.• Versatile multi-mode outputs: Supports low-impedance (2, 4, 8-ohm) or constant-voltage (70V/100V) speaker systems.• Ethernet control and monitoring: Provides comprehensive remote management and tamper-proof security via Ashly’s Protea™ software suite.• Extensive protection circuitry: Guards against thermal overloads, output overpowering, and other faults for reliable operation.
