ASHLY NXE3.02 Network Power Amplifier 2 x 3, 000 Watts @ 2 Ohms

Product Overview

The Ashly NXE3.02 is a two-channel networkable power amplifier delivering 3,000 watts per channel at 2 ohms, 2,000 watts at 4 ohms, 1,250 watts at 8 ohms, and 2,450 watts at 70V constant voltage. Part of Ashly's NXE series, this high-power networkable amplifier provides Ethernet-based remote control, event scheduling, and preset recall without onboard DSP — making it suited for commercial AV installations where a separate DSP processor handles signal processing. The NXE3.02 targets auditoriums, houses of worship, convention centers, and large-venue fixed installations where each of two independent high-power zones requires substantial output. The universal switch-mode power supply accepts 120V or 240V AC for international deployment flexibility.

Product Description

The Ashly NXE3.02 commercial AV amplifier combines the high-power output of the nX 3.0 series platform with NXE-series network control features in a two-channel rack-mount chassis. Each channel independently delivers up to 3,000W at 2 ohms or 2,450W at 70V, providing capacity for large speaker loads in auditoriums, performance venues, or convention halls. Output mode selection is handled per channel via rear panel DIP switches — set each channel for 70V, 100V, or low-impedance operation independently, without software. Network connectivity via Ethernet enables remote control and monitoring from any networked workstation, including preset recall and event scheduling for automated operation. The built-in event scheduler supports automated standby transitions, preset recalls, and power-on delays on programmable daily schedules, reducing reliance on manual operator intervention in venues with consistent usage patterns. Analog inputs accept balanced signals via Neutrik Combo XLR/TRS and Euroblock connectors; there is no Dante option card installed in this model. The Class-D switching amplifier topology with switch-mode power supply maintains high efficiency in a lightweight chassis that auto-detects 120V or 240V AC input. Multiple independent internal power supplies provide increased channel separation and reliability. Continuously variable cooling fans adapt airflow to thermal demand, minimizing fan noise during low-load operation. The Ashly EMS (Energy Management System) delivers automatic sleep mode drawing less than 1 watt during idle periods. Neutrik speakON speaker outputs and powerCON AC mains connector complete the professional termination set appropriate for permanent commercial installation. The NXE3.02 is TAA compliant, manufactured in the United States, and carries a 5-year limited warranty.

Key Features

• 2-Channel High-Power Output — 3,000 W/ch at 2 ohms and 2,450 W/ch at 70V for large-venue high-power zone applications.
• Multi-Mode Per-Channel Configuration — Each channel independently selectable for 70V, 100V or 2/4/8 ohm via rear DIP switches.
• Ethernet Network Control — Remote control, monitoring, and preset management over Ethernet; no Dante (analog inputs only).
• No Onboard DSP — Signal processing is handled externally; suited for installations with dedicated external DSP processors.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the NXE3.02 include DSP or Dante?

No. The NXE3.02 is a networkable amplifier without onboard DSP or Dante audio networking. It provides Ethernet-based remote control and monitoring. For DSP integration, pair it with an external processor. For Dante audio, consider the NXP3.02D or other Dante-equipped models.

What AV control systems is the NXE3.02 compatible with?

The NXE3.02 supports Ethernet-based remote control and monitoring, serial control via Ashly remote devices, and third-party RS-232 control with the optional INA-1 converter.

Can the NXE3.02 drive 70V and low-impedance speakers simultaneously?

Yes. Each of the two channels is independently configurable for 70V, 100V constant-voltage or 2, 4, or 8 ohm low-impedance via rear panel DIP switches.

What is the maximum output of the NXE3.02?

The NXE3.02 delivers 3,000 W per channel at 2 ohms and 2,450 W per channel at 70V, making it one of the highest-power two-channel models in the NXE series.

Does the NXE3.02 work on international power?

Yes. The switch-mode power supply auto-detects 120V or 230V AC input, making the NXE3.02 suitable for international deployments without a separate power converter.

What is the NXE3.02 warranty?

The NXE3.02 carries a 5-year limited warranty and is manufactured in the United States. It is TAA compliant and certified RoHS and cTUVus.
