Operating Manual - NE Multi Channel Power Amplifier
neWR-5 Networked Programmable Button Controller - The neWR-5 remote control is a networked version of the
WR-5, using Ethernet instead of the data port to communicate with the amplifier. Connecting and powering the neWR-5 is done
using Cat-5 Ethernet cable and a Class 1 IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch, hub, or in-line PoE injector. If PoE
is unavailable, the Ashly RPS-18 (sold separately) is a 15-48VDC power supply capable of at least 2 watts per neWR-5 and can
be hard wired to the back of the neWR-5. PoE current draw is 38mA @48VDC and 80mA@15VDC. A decora cover plate (not
included) can be purchased at hardware stores to cover the neWR-5 electrical box and satisfy the aesthetic needs of the installation.
The neWR-5 appears in the software device menu tree and must be assigned within it's device window to a specific amplifier.
The neWR-5 has six programmable function buttons which can light up green, red, or amber to display status. Further information
on LED status is found in the neWR-5 owner's manual, available on the Ashly website. To the right of the function buttons is a
pocket in the mylar overlay for a printed function label to be inserted, also available as a template on the website. The two other
buttons are used to adjust function parameters such as gain or preset number, and are indicated by the LED display. Without DSP
installed in the amplifier, neWR-5 functions are limited to preset recall and mute. Note: To use the neWR-5 as a remote level control,
a (ne)WR-5 Remote Gain tool must be placed in one of the DSP processing blocks of the channels(s).
There is also a hard-wired Lock-Out feature on the neWR-5, where the
closing of a switch wired to the lockout Euroblock renders all buttons inactive.
FR-8 and FR-16 Networked Fader Controller - The FR-8 (shown at right)
and FR-16 are Ethernet based remote fader control units, with the ability to
assign each fader control of one or more input or output DSP gain stages or
level control for a DSP matrix mixer point. The button LEDs for each fader

are normally used to indicate as-
signable signal level/clip or mute
status, but can alternately select A/B signal source for that fader. The FR remotes can
be wall mounted to electrical box, panel mounted, or freestanding, and have a back
panel contact closure for full front panel lockout. See further details in the FR-8/16
owner's manual on the Ashly website.
