ASHLY NXE8002 Network Multi-Mode Power Amplifier 2x800 Watts at 2/4/8 Ohms or 25V/70V

Product Overview

The Ashly NXE8002 is a two-channel networkable 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 — with Ethernet-based remote control via Protea NE software. As an NXE series amplifier, the NXE8002 provides network monitoring and control without onboard DSP or Dante, making it the right choice for high-output two-zone commercial AV installations where signal processing is handled by an external DSP processor and Ethernet-based amplifier monitoring and control are required. The 800W/ch output level is well matched for large conference rooms, ballrooms, house of worship main and sub-zone systems, and commercial installed audio requiring high output across 70V distributed speaker lines or low-impedance speaker arrays.

Product Description

The Ashly NXE8002 networkable amplifier delivers high-output two-channel multi-mode amplification in a rack-mount chassis with Ethernet-based remote control and monitoring. Each of the two channels is independently configurable for 70V or 100V constant-voltage or low-impedance operation at 2, 4, or 8 ohms via rear panel DIP switches, with no software required for initial output mode configuration. At 800W/ch across all supported load types, the NXE8002 is sized for substantial commercial installed audio zones, including large conference spaces, corporate auditoriums, convention centers, and house of worship distributed speaker systems requiring significant power per zone. Network connectivity via Ethernet allows the NXE8002 to be controlled and monitored remotely using Ashly Protea NE software, providing amplifier status, gain, and mute control without DSP parameter management. The NXE series occupies the tier between the base NX series (no network control) and the NXP series (full Protea DSP), making the NXE8002 the appropriate choice when network monitoring and control are needed but processing is handled upstream by a dedicated DSP system. Remote DC level control per channel supports integration with external volume control hardware and zone management processors. Continuously variable cooling fans reduce audible noise during low-demand periods. The Ashly EMS provides automatic sleep mode drawing less than 1 watt during idle periods, which is practical for commercial facilities operating on regular hours. The NXE8002 is manufactured in the United States, TAA compliant, and carries a 5-year limited warranty.

Key Features

• 800 W/Ch Across All Supported Loads — Consistent 800W/ch at 70V, 100V, 8 ohm, 4 ohm, and 2 ohm for straightforward high-output two-zone capacity planning.
• 2-Channel Multi-Mode Output — Each channel independently configurable for constant-voltage (70V/100V) or low-impedance (2/4/8 ohm) via rear DIP switches.
• Network Control Without DSP — Ethernet-based monitoring and control via Protea NE software. No onboard DSP; designed for use with external signal processors.
• No Dante — Accepts analog audio inputs. For Dante-enabled 800W two-channel operation, see the NXE8002D.
• Remote DC Level Control — Per-channel control input for external zone management hardware integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the NXE8002 include Dante or DSP?

No. The NXE8002 is a networkable amplifier without onboard DSP and without Dante. It accepts analog audio inputs and provides Ethernet-based monitoring and control via Protea NE software. For Dante transport, see the NXE8002D.

Does the NXE8002 support 25V constant-voltage?

No. The NXE8002 supports 70V and 100V constant-voltage and 2, 4, and 8 ohm low-impedance. For 25V support at 800W, there is no NXE8002 variant; consider lower-power models in the NXP series for 25V operation.

What is the difference between the NXE8002 and the NX8002?

The NXE8002 adds Ethernet-based network monitoring and control via Protea NE software. The NX8002 is the base model with no network connectivity, configured entirely via DIP switches.

Can the NXE8002 be integrated with external control systems?

Yes. The NXE8002 supports Ethernet control via Protea NE software, remote DC level control per channel for zone management integration, and serial control via optional Ashly remotes.

What is the NXE8002 warranty?

The NXE8002 carries a 5-year limited warranty and is manufactured in the United States. It is TAA compliant and certified RoHS and cTUVus.
