Ashly MX-508 8 Input Stereo Rackmountable Line Microphone Mixer

Ashly MX-508 8 Input Stereo Rackmountable Line Microphone Mixer

The Ashly MX- 508 stereo mixer combins features, reliability, and sonic performance found only in larger and more expensive mixing consoles This third generation mixer utilizes a universal 100-240VAC switching power supply, and adds a 3 5mm front panel stereo line input jack.

Other features include output mute switches, dual jack insert points, switchable +48V phantom power, and front panel switching on each channel selecting between mic or line input. Three-band equalization with a fixed frequency low and high shelf and a tunable mid-range control provides perfect true-reciprocal equalization curves. A concentric level and pan control combined with a concentric pair of auxiliary sends complete each input channel.

Ultra low-noise summing amplifiers combine the channel signals for the main and send outputs. Two 10-segment LED arrays monitor main or aux outputs. Standard line level outputs on 1/4" connectors, stereo pre-fader line outputs on RCA connectors, and transformer isolated 600 ohm outputs on XLR connectors are provided as standard equipment. Ashly still uses professional quality 16mm metal shaft potentiometers on all controls for greater accuracy and long life.
