Ashly Audio has announced that it is showcasing the new MA Amplifier Series that are equipped with proprietary Intelligent Power-Sharing technology at the 2023 NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center, booth 14216.
“The MA Series is literally the best, most technologically advanced amplifier we have ever built, or have ever tested from other manufacturers,” says lAshly Audio general manager Noel Larson. “This series has continued to exceed all our expectations since we began the process of bringing it to market. We believe this will redefine what customers expect from an amplifier going forward.”
The MA Series includes two 4-channel models: MA-250.4 at 4 x 250 watts and the MA-250.8 at 4 x 500 watts, as well as two 8-channel models: MA-500.4 at 8 x 250 watts and the MA-500.8 at 8 x 500 watts – a new configuration.
Intelligent Power-Sharing allows the amplifier to balance and shift power between channels within milliseconds. The MA-250.4 and MA-250.8 can power share up to 1,000 watts across four channels while the MA-500.4 and MA-500.8 can power share up to 2,000 watts across four channels. The amplifier recognizes which channel requires more power and is designed to learn and adapt to these patterns.
The company states that the MA Series design allows users to utilize one or multiple MA Amps on a 15 to 20-amp circuit without the risk of damaging and blowing the breaker. The amplifiers naturally run cool without the requirement of internal heat sinks or external HVAC system requirements.
A selectable multi-mode output feature allows users to select the custom power mode that the MA Series amp will be operating on for each channel. This provides adaptability to any type of loudspeaker or system, while also making way for users to mix and match the types of speakers loudspeakers, from ow-Z speakers (down to less than 2 ohms), to 25, 70 and 100-volt constant voltage speakers.
