Operating Manual - NE Two Channel Power Amplifiers Protection Ashly NE two channel power amplifiers 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.
Operating Manual - NE Two Channel Power Amplifiers Amplifier Rear Panel 1. Optional CobraNet CNM-2 Card or AES/EBU Input Slot – Installation of an optional CobraNet CNM-2 card option allows this amplifier to be part of a CobraNet audio network. Installation of the AES/EBU input option in this slot allows for digital audio input in the AES/EBU format. 2. Ethernet Port - This offers 10/100 Ethernet control and monitoring of amplifier functions using Proteane software. 3.
Operating Manual - NE Two Channel Power Amplifiers Requirements Ashly NE two channel amplifiers have specific physical, electrical and signal requirements for proper operation. These requirements will vary depending on your specific application, setup, and the settings on the amplifier. When setting up and testing your system, please take special care to double check all connections and settings. Please refer to the specifications section of this manual for specific input, output and other figures. 4.
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. The standard NE two channel amplifiers allow for Ethernet control and monitoring of power functions, level, mute, polarity, and live speaker load analysis.
Operating Manual - NE Two Channel Power Amplifiers 5) Attenuators - These two dials indicate the physical position of hardware controls on either the amp front panel or the remote level control (if present). Note that these will display the position of attenuators even when DISABLED in software. 6) Total Attenuation - This indicates the total amount of attenuation being applied to the channel.
