About Ashly 

Ashly Audio was founded in 1974 by a group of recording engineers, sound professionals, 
and electronics designers. The first products were custom consoles for friends and 
associates, but business quickly grew.  The philosophy established from the very beginning 
holds true today: to offer only the highest quality audio tools at an affordable cost to the 
professional user – ensuring reliability and long life. Many years later, Ashly remains 
committed to these principles. 
 

Safety 

In order to minimize the risk of injury, damage, or hearing loss, please read 

the entire owner’s manual before connecting to a sound system.

alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's 
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to 
persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user 
to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature 
accompanying the device.

NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
