Ashly NE4400 Overview
Control and protect your sound system with the Ashly ne4400MSD, a network-enabled DSP processor that offers easy setup and control using standard 10/100 Ethernet protocol and Protea ne software. The ne4400MSD features four option bays for expanded functionality. This model includes the 4-channel mic pre input card, 4-channel AES3 outputs, and Dante network card.
The rear panel utilizes Euroblock connectors for easy and secure wiring. Additionally, the 12V Digital Logic I/O uses a 9-pin Euroblock connector that can be assigned to trigger a preset recall or push-to-talk mic function. A 10-pin Euroblock connector is for the 5 VDC Remote Level Control, which allows for up to eight user-defined remote DC level controls.

Programming
All programming is accomplished using standard 10/100 Ethernet or RS-232 protocol and Protea ne software on a PC platform. Hot-plug software control allows you to plug any function into any channel block, even when running live audio with no recompiling necessary. Automatic DHCP network IP configuration reduces network set up time. Multi-level software security with password access assures you a tamperproof audio system.
