The year 2024 marked Ashly Audio’s 50th anniversary, which was celebrated with a variety of exciting new events and initiatives. To commemorate the occasion, Ashley organized a social media contest where fans shared photos of their treasured Ashly gear for the chance to win prizes! What’s more, Ashley expanded its presence at InfoComm 2024, brandishing both historical Ashly products and releasing all-new ones, such as the AQM408.
Ashly Audio engineers innovative audio systems for any setting, including churches, restaurants, schools, hotels, courtrooms, health clubs, and council chambers. Its always-practical and accessible solutions merge user-friendly control software with smart, multimode DSP-equipped power amplifiers, compact digital mixers, matrix processors, and reliable analog signal processors.
The MA series of Ashly amplifiers supplies selectable multimode operation per channel, making it ideal for a broad range of applications. Designed for demanding installations like theaters, houses of worship, and auditoriums, the MA series takes on power-hungry subs with ease, even at two ohms. Moreover, its multimode functionality allows for 25-, 70-, and 100-volt operation. You’ll enjoy more integration features than almost any other amplifier with the MA series, with 4- and 8-channel modes that are ideal for multi-zone commercial installations. Available in a variety of configurations, there’s an MA series amplifier to suit your project.
Featuring built-in WAP (Wireless Access Point) for easy Wi-Fi connection and an intuitive web-based software interface, the FX series gives you a flexible range of DSP-equipped amplifiers to choose from. The FX series comprises six models, ranging from 2 x 60-watt in a half-rack form to 4 x 500-watt in a two-rack unit. And despite its massive power, FX series amps are remarkably lightweight, with the 2,000-watt FX 500.4 clocking in at just 16.5 lbs.
With Ashly’s Protea DSP suite, you gain instant and complete access to all Ashly’s DSP-equipped amplifiers and standalone DSP models. Protea automatically detects and connects to all compatible devices on your network, and it can even connect directly to an Ashly DSP device or perform a “virtual” setup offline. This suite includes powerful DSP tools, including gain, parametric EQ, graphic EQ, HPF, LPF, compression, a matrix mixer, FIR filters, and much more. Plus, Protea boasts a real-time clock with a scheduler for timed actions and password-protected access, and many models also include speaker load monitoring.
Offering power and flexibility to tackle any situation, Ashly Audio’s AQM408 is a highly advanced standalone speaker processor and zone mixer that’s designed for use with external amplification. This device leverages the AquaControl DSP engine, giving you access to a comprehensive collection of DSP functions in an easy-to-navigate UI. Moreover, the AQM408 can connect to any browser-enabled device via LAN and internet from virtually anywhere, allowing for effortless remote access. From small zone setups to stadium PA systems, the AQM408 has you covered.
Designed to revolutionize the concept of a performance amplifier, the EcoTour lineup is Ashly’s first new front-of-house/performance install amplifier series in over a decade. Stable down to 0.2 ohms, EcoTour’s ultra-efficient design allows you to continuously operate at full power, even when ambient temperatures climb up to 120°F. In addition, its eco-friendly design ensures the smallest carbon footprint possible.
