Operating Manual - NE Two Channel Power Amplifiers Important Safety Instructions Consignes de sécurité à lire attentivement The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
Operating Manual - NE Two Channel Power Amplifiers 1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for your purchase of this NE (network enabled) two channel power amplifier. Ashly NE power amplifiers combine lightweight, state of the art, high efficiency switching technology with integrated Ethernet control, and use optional modular expansion cards to provide comprehensive internal DSP processing, AES/EBU input, or networked digital audio input.

Operating Manual - NE Two Channel Power Amplifiers Protection This amplifier come standard with several protection circuits: Over Current Protection - Is controlled in the output stage. Thermal Protection - When the internal temperature is below 40°C the fan runs at its slowest speed. Above 40°C the speed is increased until it reaches its maximum value. If the temperature exceeds 100°C, the input on that channel is reduced. If the temperature exceeds 110°C, the power supply is switched off.
Operating Manual - NE Two Channel Power Amplifiers Amplifier Rear Panel 1. Optional Digital Audio Input Slot – Factory installation of an optional CobraNet CNM-2, OPDante, or AES3 module allows this amplifier to be part of a network audio or digital audio system. 2. Ethernet Port - This offers 10/100 Ethernet control and monitoring of amplifier functions using Proteane software. 3. Analog Inputs - XLR inputs are pin 2 (+), pin 3 (-), and pin 1 (G). Euroblock inputs are wired in parallel to the XLRs.
Operating Manual - NE Two Channel Power Amplifiers 4. REMOTE AMPLIFIER CONTROL ON/OFF/Remote Standby The NE two channel amplifiers have three possible states, OFF, ON, and STANDBY, each with a status LED on the front panel.
Operating Manual - NE Two Channel Power Amplifiers 5. PROTEAne SOFTWARE Proteane software offers a comprehensive suite of tools for controlling Ashly NE amplifiers as well as other Ashly products. Standard amplifiers without DSP have Ethernet control and monitoring of amplifier functions including level, mute, polarity, password protected security functions, and network property management. Device options also include Flash Reprogramming, Link Group Configuration, and Power On Delay.

In addition to the control surface secondary level control (not the main fader), most DSP functions have a link group check box in their work window to assign a specific parameter to one of the 16 link groups.
