Presentation

Front Panel

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 Proteane Software™. Proteane 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.

Option Cards
DSP
Proteane DSP Cards can be installed as needed. Their SHARC 32-bit/96kHz processor enables 24-bit AD/DA, analog and digital (AES3) inputs. Each offers two additional processed output channels to drive additional amplifier channels. Our current DSP library includes Graphic, Parametric, Notch and Shelving Equalization, High-, Low- and All-Pass Filters (HPF/LPF/APF) with up to 48dB/Octave slopes, Delay, Compressor/Limiter, Gate, Gain, Signal Generators (sinewave, white and pink noise) and Matrix Routing.

CobraNet
The PNE-C2 accepts both analog inputs and Cobranet digital audio at either 48 kHz or 96 kHz sample rates and provides two analog output signals from the amplifier as well as an auxiliary analog output for daisy-chaining multiple amplifiers.

Supports Cobranet primary and secondary Ethernet connections
Selectable latency of 1.33, 2.66 or 5.33ms across network
16, 20, and 24-bit Cobranet digital audio input at 48 KHz or 96 KHz

70 Volt
The PE-2400, PE-3000 and PE-3800 are capable of driving 70 Volt systems. Power specifications are: PE-2400: 1200W per channel, PE-3000: 1500W per channel and PE-3800: 1700W per channel.

Wireless Control
Proteane mobile is a software application enabling you wireless control of PE-Series amplifiers and the DSP-1 and DSP-2 Option Cards for the PE-Series amplifiers.

Summary
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.
