Born of a passion for live music and sound, Ashly Audio has been a provider of state-of-the-art amplifiers and DSP for almost 50 years and is used world-wide in a range of live performance and commercial installations. Ashly now proudly adds several families of loudspeakers to compliment its audio solutions. The Ashly Audio IS2.8PW is a slim 8 x 2" driver dual-impedance column speaker designed to work for both installed and portable sound systems. It is ideal for use in auditoriums, HoW and large public spaces where consistent front-to-back coverage, wide dispersion and voice intelligibility are paramount. Its dual-impedance configuration allows operation either in a low-impedance/high-powered situation or when many speakers are connected in parallel for a distributed system, without loading down the amp or requiring the use of transformers which can impede the sound quality. The IS2.8P can be wall-mounted in several different ways with the supplied mounting hardware or optional brackets. Its rugged all-metal housing also makes it suitable in portable applications with optional stands. Special EQ voices files are available as free downloads for speaker optimization when used with Ashly DSP or DSP-enabled amplifiers. The IS2.8P is sold individually and comes in white.
With their linear array configuration, the IS Series delivers tight, controlled vertical dispersion with a long throw angle and ultra-wide horizontal dispersion. Consistent front-back and side-to-side coverage helps everyone hear the same thing, no matter their position. More listeners on the far left and right in a ballroom, church, municipal facility or wedding venue can hear the spoken word better. Live or DJ music in a restaurant or bar is more immersive and less directional. Every seat is the best seat in the house!
