PE-Series (Protea Enabled) amplifiers are more than just a standard power amplifier. While the six two-channel models offer an impressive range of power from 400 to 1900 watts per channel at four ohms, their Ethernet capabilities greatly increase their value in network audio applications.

PE Series amplifiers are high-power, high-efficiency, lightweight amplifiers incorporating the latest in power and control technologies. Each amplifier can be controlled and monitored through the built-in Ethernet port using standard, inexpensive, readily-available Ethernet hardware and Protea NE Software™. This extremely easy to use software provides you access to many features, including real time control of input attenuation, channel mute, channel polarity, and power on/off. The software also allows you to monitor input level, output level, output current, clipping, protect and temperature. The ability to either disable the amplifier’s front panel or remote attenuators or set the maximum level for these controls with the software ensure that system levels cannot be exceeded by unauthorized personnel.

By adding Ashly’s Protea DSP technology and control to an amplifier, we have designed a comprehensive and easy to use audio system. Control anywhere from one to hundreds of amps, as well as Protea Series processors, on- or off-site with our intuitive and friendly Proteane Software.

PE-Series amplifiers utilize a 2-stage high-efficiency switched mode power supply providing a high-power-to-weight ratio. All are two rack units high, weigh less than 24lbs and will drive 2, 4 or 8 ohm loads. Input connections are via XLR-1/4” Neutrik combo connectors and 6-pin Euroblock. XLR male connectors are also provided for looping to additional amplifiers. Output connectors are locking Neutrik Speakon (NL-4) on all models and 4 position screw terminal strip with safety cover on models 800 and 1200.

PE Series amplifiers have on-board analog processing including a selectable subsonic filter, a selectable clip-limiter and an input-sensitivity selector, which optimizes the amplifier for load and the many devices that can drive it. Additionally, each amplifier also provides DC voltage control of the calibrated Input attenuators, which makes it a snap to control volume from remote locations, and Remote Power Turn-on/-off with sequential power on/off circuitry built right into the amplifier.LED indicators for power, standby, protect, bridge mono, parallel mono and network communications are located on the left side of the front panel. On the right side, each channel has a four-step signal meter, temperature and current indicators.

Ashly has long believed that the secret to great sound and reliability is intelligent design and meticulous execution. Our PE Series takes that philosophy and multiplies it ten-fold. Optimized for cool operation, modularity, ultimate compatibility and maximum performance, the PE Series is the amplifier line you’ve been waiting for.

When your next project requires high performance amplifiers with superb sound, reliability, remote control and more, Ashly Audio’s PE Series of remote-controlled power amplifiers have been designed to meet the needs of both portable and installation applications.
