ASHLY NX8002 Power Amplifier 2 x 800 Watts @ 2 Ohms

Product Overview

The Ashly NX8002 is a two-channel high-output multi-mode power amplifier delivering 800 watts per channel across all supported load configurations — 70V, 100V constant-voltage, and 2, 4, or 8 ohm low-impedance — without network control or onboard DSP. As a base-level NX series amplifier, the NX8002 is configured via rear panel DIP switches and designed for use with external DSP processors in commercial AV installations requiring high output in a two-channel constant-voltage or low-impedance format. The 800W/ch output makes the NX8002 well matched for large-zone 70V distributed speaker systems, corporate auditoriums, convention centers, and house of worship installations where consistent high-output amplification across two zones is required without the overhead of integrated DSP or network management.

Product Description

The Ashly NX8002 commercial power amplifier delivers two channels of 800W output for large installed audio zones in a rack-mount chassis. Each channel is independently configurable for 70V or 100V constant-voltage or low-impedance operation at 2, 4, or 8 ohms via rear panel DIP switches, requiring no software for initial configuration. With 800W/ch at 70V, 100V, and across all low-impedance configurations, the NX8002 provides high-capacity constant-voltage distribution for large commercial spaces with extensive speaker arrays, or substantial low-impedance output for high-power speaker systems. The switch-mode power supply operates on 120V or 230V AC input without adjustment, enabling deployment in both domestic and international installations. Class-D switching amplifier technology maximizes efficiency in a 2U rack-mount chassis. Multiple independent internal power supplies improve channel separation and reliability at full simultaneous output. Continuously variable cooling fans adapt to load and thermal conditions, reducing audible noise during low-demand periods. The front panel power switch and level controls can be disabled to prevent unauthorized adjustment in publicly accessible rack locations. Remote DC level control per channel supports integration with external volume control hardware and zone management processors. The Ashly EMS provides automatic sleep mode drawing less than 1 watt during idle periods. The NX8002 is manufactured in the United States, TAA compliant, and carries a 5-year limited warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the NX8002 include network control or DSP?

No. The NX8002 is a base NX series amplifier configured via rear DIP switches. For network control at this output level, see the NXE8002. For DSP, there is no NXP8002 variant; consider pairing the NX8002 with an external Ashly DSP processor.

Does the NX8002 support 25V constant-voltage?

No. The NX8002 supports 70V and 100V constant-voltage and 2, 4, and 8 ohm low-impedance. The 25V mode is available on lower-output NX series models (NX150 and NX75 series).

Does the NX8002 work on international power?

Yes. The switch-mode power supply auto-detects 120V or 230V AC input for international installation compatibility without adjustment.

Can the front panel controls be locked?

Yes. The power switch and level controls can be disabled to prevent unauthorized access in publicly accessible rack installations.

What is the NX8002 warranty?

The NX8002 carries a 5-year limited warranty and is manufactured in the United States. It is TAA compliant and certified RoHS, cTUVus, CE, and FCC.
