ASHLY NXP754D Amplifier plus OPDante Option Card

Product Overview

The Ashly NXP754D is a four-channel networkable power amplifier with integrated Protea DSP and a factory-installed Dante option card, delivering 75 watts per channel across all load configurations — 25V, 70V, 100V constant-voltage, and 2, 4, or 8 ohm low-impedance. This compact Dante-enabled commercial power amplifier is designed for distributed audio in smaller commercial spaces: conference rooms, boardrooms, training rooms, and light commercial installations where network audio transport, onboard DSP, and 25V speaker support are all required in a space-efficient 1U rack-mount chassis. The NXP754D delivers the complete Protea DSP feature set — event scheduling, FIR filter support, iPad wireless control — in the most compact multi-mode amplifier platform Ashly offers with Dante integration.

Product Description

The Ashly NXP754D networkable amplifier with DSP commercial install is built on Ashly's 1U nX 75 platform, integrating Dante audio networking, Protea DSP processing, and four-channel multi-mode amplification in a space-efficient chassis. The factory-installed OPDante option card provides native Dante audio routing over standard Ethernet, suitable for Dante-based AV systems in boardrooms, conference rooms, and small commercial facilities. A key differentiator of the NXP754D is its support for 25V constant-voltage operation across all four channels, making it deployable with 25V speaker systems common in smaller commercial spaces. Each channel is independently configurable for 25V, 70V, 100V, or low-impedance operation at 2, 4, or 8 ohms via rear DIP switches. Protea DSP delivers comprehensive signal processing — dynamics, PEQ, crossover, matrix mixing, delay, metering, and FIR filter support — all configurable remotely via Protea NE software over Ethernet. A built-in real-time clock with event scheduler automates preset recalls, standby transitions, and power-on delays on programmable daily schedules, removing the need for manual operation in facilities with regular usage patterns. The Ashly Remote iPad app provides wireless control of DSP parameters over the network. Aux preamp line outputs allow the NXP754D to feed additional downstream amplifiers if additional zones are needed. Fault condition logic outputs per channel support integration with building management systems for fault notification. The Ashly EMS provides automatic sleep mode drawing less than 1 watt during idle periods. The NXP754D is manufactured in the United States, TAA compliant, and carries a 5-year limited warranty.
