Ashly Audio Now Shipping Groundbreaking, Integrated mXa-1502 Mixer Amp Solution
Ashly Audio’s cutting-edge, integrated mixer amp solution, the mXa-1502, is now shipping worldwide. The mXa1502 - which quickly collected multiple award and “best of” list mentions upon its 2019 introduction – brings four zones of mixing and DSP, two 150watt amplifiers, and programmable mic preamps all in a single, compact, elegant rack-mountable compact unit that is easy to use. Combined with Ashly’s new AquaControl software, the mXa-1502 allows integrators to install faster, add professional audio to more locations, troubleshoot remotely, and develop effective, long-term partnerships with their customers.
With an estimated street price point of USD1,799, the mXa-1502 is primed to help integrators win more clients among the small- and medium-sized business sectors of retail, hospitality, and house of worship. “This mXa-1502 brings professional audio at a price that works among the small- and medium-sized businesses that can truly benefit from a pro audio solution,” Larson said. “This will help integrators reach new clients, integrate more effectively, and ultimately build long term partnerships with their end users.” This is also the first product from Ashly that harnesses the power of its new AquaControl software, which
was designed to be both robust and intuitive. On the mXa-1502, the control layer provides a rich complement of digital signal processing, including routing, auto-mixing, ducking, amplifier monitoring, event scheduling and triggering. Further, the system doesn’t require extensive tutorials or workshops to master. Ashly placed a focus on ensuring the most intuitive interface ever, with different levels of control for both the beginner user up to the integrator. Another key component of the mXa1502 that helps integrators deliver long-term assistance is the mixer amp’s built-in web server, which offers a webbased control platform. If an end user requires assistance, an integrator can first login to the controls online before rolling a truck out to the site. ashly.com/mxa1502
