Ashly’s NE-Series digital signal processor is used for connecting and controlling an audio processor for networked systems. These Network Enabled (NE) processors offers ease of use, setup and control using standard 10/100 Ethernet protocol and Protea NE software. No special outboard control units are needed. Standard units are analog line input/output format of 4x4 (4400), 4x8 (4800), and 8x8 (8800) with four option bays supporting network audio, AES/EBU, and mic input options. The DSP signal processing library is extensive and utilizes multiple SHARC 32-bit/96kHz processors with sample rates of either 48KHz or 96KHz. Processing blocks include an 8x8 matrix mixer, full array of variable Q graphic and parametric equalization, crossover filters to 8th-order Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz, and Notched-Linkwitz, an extremely advanced automatic feedback suppressor, autolevelers, compressors, matrix duckers, limiters, frequency-keyed noise gates, time delay up to 1365 ms on every channel, sinewave, pink noise, and white noise generators.
