Ashly ne8800d8x8 Network Protea DSP Processor with AES3 Input Option

The Ashly ne8800D networkable DSP processor features 32-bit SHARC devices to insure that you won’t run out of DSP. New features added to the NE-series processors include gain-sharing automatic microphone mixers, automatic feedback suppression and ambient noise compensation. Ashly’s NE processors offer industry-leading Signal/Noise ratings. They are a great choice for Worship facilities, meeting rooms and anywhere you need an unattended sound system.

The DSP signal processing library is extensive and utilizes multiple SHARC 32-bit/96kHz processors with sample rates of either 48 KHz or 96 KHz. Processing blocks include an 8×8 matrix mixer, a full array of variable Q graphic and parametric equalization, crossover filters to 8th-order Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz, and Notched-Linkwitz, an extremely advanced automatic feedback suppressor, autolevelers, compressors, matrix duckers, limiters, frequency-keyed noise gates, time delay up to 1365 ms on every channel, sinewave, pink noise, and white noise generators.

All programming is accomplished using standard 10/100 Ethernet or RS-232 protocol and Ashly’s Protea NE Software on a PC platform. Hot-plug software control allows you to plug any function into any channel block even when running live audio with no latency or recompiling necessary. Automatic DHCP network IP configuration reduces network set up time. No front panel controls and multi-level software security with password access assures you a tamperproof audio system.

Additional features include: network audio routing at matrix mixer to inputs from outputs, or in/out of matrix mixer, 8 link groups on most functions, automatic master clock switchover between network, word clock, AES/EBU, and internal clock, a high-performance analog audio path – dynamic range exceeding 114dB, support of Ashly digital remote controls, programmable 8 channel 5V logic input or output control, 8 channels of 0 to 5V analog level control, word clock input and output and a front panel full meter bridge with mute keys.
