Ashly’s nearly five-decade history in the pro audio industry began with custom designed and manufactured mixing consoles, which soon evolved into rack-mount signal processing equipment. Even today, there is still place for traditional analog mixers and equalizers. We’ve been making them for over 40 years. We use Class A mic preamps on our mixers, Wein-Bridge filters, and wear-resistant faders on our equalizers. Quiet and capable of wide dynamic range without clipping, our analog products remain classic problem solvers for live and fixed installs. In a world of throwaway products, Ashly analog mixers are an investment in high performance products that will last you for years to come. The MX508 is the culmination of that philosophy. An Analog Mixer with 8 balanced low-noise Mic Inputs, three-band. mid-sweep EQ, 2 AUX sends with two retruns, a stereo line input all pan-able to the L/ R main outputs and housed in a 3U rack chassis, it fits the bill for ease-of-use mixing withoutlack of flexibility or compromise in sound quality. Each input has selectable gain for mic or line level and is equipped with phantom power for condenser mics when needed.
