Pro-level Live Sound Made Easy

The Ashly Protea 3.6SP offers effective speaking processing tailor-made for dynamic live sound environments. This indispensable unit includes the full Protea DSP Suite, arming you with a crossover, EQ, compression/limiting, and delay. This flexible processor enables you to assign any input to any output, and you get individual metering on every input and output. The Protea 3.6SP delivers industry-leading sound, boasting balanced XLR connectors and cutting-edge processing algorithms. It's also a breeze to operate, thanks to its easy-to-use front-panel parameter control and user-friendly LCD screen. You also get front- and rear-panel USB ports for simplified programming via Ashly's Protea software, and you can secure your settings with a password to safeguard against unauthorized tampering. Ideal for portable systems and fixed installations alike, the Ashly Protea 3.6SP is your one-way ticket to pro-level live sound.

Jam-packed with cutting-edge processing

The Protea 3.6SP gives you access to Ashly's entire Protea DSP Suite, supplying you with a crossover, equalization, compression/limiting, and delay. This unit provides Linkwitz-Riley, Bessel, and Butterworth crossover filters. Its parametric EQ includes 12, 18, 24, and 48dB/octave slopes, with a bandwidth from 1/64th octave to four octaves. You get up to 682ms of delay on the unit's inputs and outputs, for a total of 1,364ms. The Protea 3.6SP includes a limiter on each output to protect your speakers from excessive levels, along with individual input and output metering.

Intuitive programming and operation

Here at Sweetwater, we appreciate how easy the Ashly Protea 3.6SP is to program and use — even in the midst of a dynamic live performance. It permits intuitive hands-on control, thanks to dedicated front-panel controls that eliminate the need for deep menu diving. The unit's 2 x 20-character LCD screen displays channel and function settings in a clear, straightforward manner. Moreover, the Protea 3.6SP's front- and rear-panel USB ports allow for easy programming via Ashly's Protea software. To top it off, you get a password-secured security system to prevent unauthorized tampering.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
