Studiomaster nEX2-2400 AES67 Networked 2-Channel Power Amplifier

Studiomaster nEX2-2400 Networked 2-Channel Power Amplifier

The Studiomaster nEX2-2400 networked 2-channel power amplifier delivers 1200W per channel at 8 ohms, 1800W per channel at 4 ohms, or 3600W in bridged mode at 8 ohms. AES-67 audio networking, Ethernet monitoring, onboard DSP, and a compact 1U chassis support high-output professional sound systems.

This amplifier suits installed sound, live entertainment, touring, rental systems, and commercial audio applications. Stereo, parallel or mono, and bridged modes accommodate conventional two-channel systems or a single higher-powered loudspeaker circuit. It works well as an AES-67 amplifier for installed sound or a lightweight power amplifier for touring racks.

Balanced XLR inputs and professional 4-pole speaker outputs simplify integration with compatible audio equipment. A 2.2-inch color LCD provides front-panel access to built-in DSP settings, while automatic standby reduces unnecessary idle operation. Output limiting, short-circuit protection, thermal monitoring, under-voltage protection, and DC protection help safeguard the amplifier and connected loudspeakers.

Key Features

• High-Output Two-Channel Design: Supplies 2 x 1200W at 8 ohms for demanding professional loudspeaker systems.
• 4-Ohm Performance: Delivers 2 x 1800W when connected to compatible 4-ohm speaker loads.
• Bridged Amplification: Produces 3600W at 8 ohms for applications requiring one higher-powered output.
• AES-67 Network Audio: Integrates with compatible audio-over-IP systems for network-based signal transport.
• Ethernet Monitoring: Enables amplifier monitoring through a LAN connection and compatible control software.
• Built-In DSP: Provides onboard signal-processing controls through a 2.2-inch color LCD.
• Automatic Standby: Reduces idle operation when the amplifier does not detect an input signal.
• Compact Rackmount Chassis: Fits a standard 19-inch rack while occupying only 1U of vertical space.
