Ashly NXP4004 4-Channel Multi-Mode Power Amplifier with Protea DSP and CNM-2

Under the umbrella of high-quality audio equipment, the NXP4004 4-Channel Networkable Multi-Mode Power Amplifier with Protea DSP and CNM-2 CobraNet Option Card stands out as a powerful and reliable choice. This advanced amplifier is designed to cater to the most demanding live sound environments and fixed audio installations, making it a versatile solution for performance venues, stadiums, arenas, convention centers, schools, storefronts, and worship spaces.The NXP4004 is part of Ashly's NX series, which offers 2 or 4-channel models in three different configurations: NX (base model series), NXE (network-able), and NXP (networkable + DSP). This particular model, the NXP, comes with Ethernet Control using Protea NE software, enabling seamless control over your audio setup.One of the key features of this amplifier is its 32-bit SHARC DSP Processing at 48kHz or 96kHz Sample Rates. This allows for comprehensive software control of digital signal processing, matrix and auto-mixing, and a built-in signal generator for test tone and noise-masking. It also includes swept output load impedance monitoring, which can be easily managed using the Ashly Remote iPad control.The NXP4004 is FIR Filter-Ready, meaning it can load a speaker manufacturer's .fir or .csv file to achieve precision tuning. It also boasts Class-D Switching Amplifier Technology, which automatically detects 110 - 120VAC or 220 - 240VAC operation, making it one of the lightest in its class.The amplifier offers Multi-Mode Operation with Selectable Outputs on each channel, allowing you to choose the desired output mode. You can set the DIP-switch configuration for Low Impedance (2, 4, and 8 Ohm), or Constant Voltage (70V or 100V), providing flexibility for various audio setups.The NXP4004 also features Ashly's EMS (Energy Management System), which provides an automatic sleep-mode drawing less than 1 Watt, contributing to energy efficiency. It also has multiple internal power supplies for increased channel separation and reliability.This 4-channel multi-mode amplifier is capable of driving 2 Ohm loads at full power, with a maximum rated output power of 400W per channel at Low Z, 70V, and 100V mode. It also includes an 80Hz high-pass filter, input limiter, and input gain settings of 26dB, 32dB, 38dB, or 1.4V.The NXP4004 is equipped with Ethernet control and a real-time clock for event scheduling, as well as serial data remote control, aux preamp outputs, preset control, fault condition logic outputs, and optional network audio and AES3 digital audio capability. It also features temperature-dependent variable speed forced-air cooling for optimal performance.In conclusion, the NXP4004 4-Channel Networkable Multi-Mode Power Amplifier with Protea DSP and CNM-2 CobraNet Option Card is a durable, advanced, and high-quality choice for any audio professional seeking reliable and powerful audio equipment.
