4x8 Line DSP Audiomatrix;

The AQM408 is designed as an advanced, stand-alone speaker processor/zone mixer to be used with external amplification, offering the power & flexibility needed to handle just about any situation.

Based on the AquaControl DSP engine first introduced in the mXa1502, the AQM408 includes a comprehensive library of DSP functions presented in a versatile, yet intuitive UI that doesn’t require a college level course to learn. The AQM408 connects to any browser-enabled device via LAN and Internet from virtually anywhere in the world, allowing convenient remote access for configuration and troubleshooting.

The AQM408’s 4 Input by 8 Output configuration meets the requirements for a host of applications – anywhere from a small zone setup, to a stadium PA system!

The AQM408 is based on Ashly’s next generation AquaControl™ web-server based interface, which means it functions with virtually any networked PC or mobile device, any OS. Nothing to install. Plus, it incorporates most of the familiar features found in our legacy Protea DSP software.

The good news is you won’t have to relearn another software suite. Even if you’re new to DSP software, we’ve designed the AquaControl UI to navigate like most popular websites, so it will have a familiar look and feel for the first-time user as well. In addition, the AquaControl interface is optimized for touch-panels, so you won’t need to worry about “right-clicking” if not using a Windows device. Every touch control allows full access to functionality. Nothing is hidden or buried deep in menus.

The new AquaControl™ Portal application is a free download which installs on your Windows™ PC for “off-line” access. All the same great features, functionality and easy user experience in a portable version that can work anywhere you are. No DSP device or network needed. The two versions work together to create a seamless workflow between offline and connected environments.

The AquaControl software contains a library of useful DSP tools to allow customization of your installation. This includes:

Gain, Remote Gain & DVCA Gain
Dynamics: Compressor, Leveler, Limiter & Gate
Multi-priority Ducking Matrix
31-Band Graphic EQ, Feedback Suppression
EQ:10-band Parametric, HPF/LPF
Universal 2, 3 & 4-way X-Over
FIR Filters
Delay, Speaker Delay
Auto-Mixing
Ambient Noise Control
Tools: Meter, Signal Generator
Comprehensive Event Scheduler

The AQM408s remote web access allows integrators to better perform service when customers experience issues. Logging into the AquaControl environment from their office rather than sending a truck out to the install site is more convenient and cost-effective and less labor-intensive.

Using the Ethernet connection is where things get really amazing. AquaControl provides full remote access to any function via network but can also serve up dedicated remote pages for live mixing or zone control. These can be accessed using any web-enabled device, but the new AquaTouch7 7” touch panel provides a more elegant on-wall solution for users demanding convenient remote access

The AQM408 generous compliment of remote options is noteworthy. To start with, it provides 2 programmable GPI triggers and 3 Remote VC ports allowing control with simple wall remotes. Everything else can be controlled via AquaControl on any device with a web browser.

Combining the historic 4.8SP and 3.6SP processors with powerful DSP toolbox from the AQM1208 creates the best speaker processor Ashly has ever made – adding features to your system not previously available with the SP series, such as feedback suppression, 31-band Graphic EQ, and FIR Filters.
