The Ashly Protea 4.8SP 4-Input, 8-Output Digital Speaker Processor delivers enhanced DSP processing, superb audio quality and flexible control features for professional sound reinforcement in touring, venue installations, nightclubs, large theater sound systems and more.
The Protea 4.8SP features 24-Bit A/D converters and an array of DSP functions that include crossover, time delay features, compression, limiting, feedback control features and much more.
An intuitive back-lit LCD display helps navigate through the its extensive feature set and is also easy to see in dimly lit venues. The 4.8SP will store up to 30 total presets. A preset file takes a "snapshot" of all current settings and stores complete control data for all channels and all audio functions.
The 3.6SP (3-in x 6-out) and 4.8SP (4-in x 8-out) are a great choice for both live sound and use in fixed installations like worship facilities, schools and performance spaces. Use the full Protea™ DSP Suite—crossover, equalization, compressor/limiter and delay—with up to 682ms on the input and the output, SPs serve as a front-end processor for delay stacks. The three inputs on the 3.6SP give you added flexibility, particularly when most other processors only offer two inputs.
SPs have front panel controls for immediate access to the settings during a dynamic, live performance. The front and rear panel USB ports allow you to program the processors via Ashly’s Protea™ Software—and set a password-secured security system to prevent unauthorized tampering.
