The Ashly AQM408-120V-U is an advanced digital signal processor and zone mixer specifically configured for high-voltage distributed audio systems. This unit provides four inputs and eight outputs, forming a flexible matrix ideal for managing and processing audio across multiple zones in commercial installations. A key feature is its built-in capability to directly interface with 120V constant-voltage speaker lines, simplifying system design by eliminating the need for external output transformers. Powered by Ashly's robust AquaControl DSP platform, it delivers comprehensive processing on every channel, including parametric EQ, dynamics (compressor/limiter/gate), delay, and sophisticated matrix mixing. This allows for precise acoustic tuning, speaker optimization, and independent control of each output zone.

Designed for reliability in standalone operation, the AQM408-120V-U stores all configurations internally and runs independently after setup, ensuring continuous performance even without a network connection. Configuration and monitoring are handled through Ashly's intuitive AquaControl software via USB or Ethernet. The unit supports multiple presets for different operating schedules or event types. Its professional build and focus on 24/7 stability make it a cornerstone for demanding installations in venues like stadiums, large retail complexes, and transportation hubs where high-voltage distribution is standard. By combining high-voltage output compatibility with powerful DSP in a single rack unit, it provides an efficient and intelligent solution for complex, large-scale audio systems.
