MA Amplifier Series from Ashly Audio

Ashly Audio showcased the new MA Amplifier Series last week at the 2023 NAMM Show.

“The MA Series is literally the best, most technologically advanced amplifier we have ever built, or have ever tested from other manufacturers,” General Manager, Noel Larson said. “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 is the latest addition to the Ashly Audio power amplifier lineup, featuring two 4-channel models: MA-250.4 at 4 x 250W and the MA-250.8 at 4 x 500W as well as two 8-channel models; MA-500.4 at 8 x 250 and the MA-500.8 at 8 x 500.

With Ashly Audio Intelligent Power-Sharing, each MA Series amplifier can reportedly balance and shift power between channels within milliseconds. The MA-250.4 and MA-250.8 can power share up to 1,000W across 4 channels while the MA-500.4 and MA-500.8 can power share up to 2,000W across 4 channels.

The amplifier is said to automatically recognize which channel requires more power and will learn and adapt to these patterns, Ashly using the trendy term 'Artificial Intelligence' here. MA Series amps can share power across four different channel blocks and will adapt depending on shifts in the power demand.

According to Ashly, ehe MA Series draws upon less current than a typical amplifier naturally runs very cool without the requirement of internal heat sinks or external HVAC system requirements.

So called, selectable 'Multi-Mode Output' allows users to select the custom power mode that the MA Series amp will be operating on for each channel. This allows for adaptability and mixing and matching the types of speakers used in a system, from Low-Z speakers (down to even less than 2 Ohms), to 25V, 70V or 100V constant voltage speakers.
