The Ashly PE-1800 is a lightweight (24 lbs.), high-power,
high-efficiency stereo rackmount power amplifier offering 300 Watts of power
output per side at 8 Ohms and a switching power supply.
The PE-1800 incorporates cutting-edge multi-amplifier network technology,
enabling remote control and operation of the unit by a computer via the supplied
Protea Software(TM) CD. The connection is of a standard Cat-5 Ethernet type,
unencumbered by any proprietary hardware.
An optional DSP card is available for the PE-1800 as well, offering 24-bit
digital connectivity and a large library of EQ and Dynamics processors along
with sine wave, pink and white noise generators.
