Ashly Protea ne24.24MT Matrix Digital Signal Processor with 4x8 I/O and GPO Logic Card

Control and protect your installed sound system with the Ashly Protea NE24.24MT, a network-enabled DSP speaker processor that offers easy setup and control using standard 10/100 Ethernet protocol and Protea ne software. The ne24.24m has four analog inputs and four analog outputs as standard. Use the four option bays to provide additional I/O and functionality. This model includes one 4-channel output card and the GPO Logic card, which is used to drive preset controlled relays or another device's logic control inputs.

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.
