Ashly’s PE Series

Featuring the superior audio quality and reliability you’ve

come to expect from Ashly, our PE Series intelligently

incorporates everything you need to interface with virtu-

ally any analog or digital equipment. We’ve even included

future-proof expansion ports. No add-ons. No awkward

fixes. Truly modern amplifiers that address the needs of

today’s professionals.

Proteane Enabled

Set up, control and monitor PE Series amplifiers

using standard, inexpensive, readily-available Ethernet

hardware. Nothing proprietary here! Control from one

to hundreds of amps, as well as your Protea Series

processors, on- or off-site with our intuitive and friendly

Proteane Software.

Wide Power Range

There are six models of PE Series amplifiers, all of which

share the same PE feature set, and cover a wide range of

power requirements from 400W to 1900W per channel.

Each utilizes a 2-stage high-efficiency switched mode

power supply, which provides a high-power-to-weight ra-

tio. All are two rack units high and weigh less than 24lbs!

On-Board Processing and Indicators

Each PE Series amplifier provides on-board analog

processing, including a selectable subsonic filter, a

selectable clip-limiter and an input-sensitivity selector,

which can optimize the amplifier for its load and the

many devices that can drive it. Plus, we’ve included

an array of output current and temperature indicators

to monitor various operating parameters. It’s easy to

tell at a glance, for example, the status of the load be-

ing driven. It’s a snap to control volume from the front

panel, remote locations, or Proteane software. Remote

Power Turn-on/-off with sequential power on/off

circuitry is built right into the amplifier.

Future-Proof

Need more? Proteane DSP Cards can be installed

as needed. Their SHARC 32-bit/96kHz processor

enables 24-bit AD/DA, analog and digital (AES/EBU)

inputs. Each offers two additional processed output

channels to drive additional amplifier channels. These

cards have an extensive DSP library.
