About Ashly MX-508

A pinnacle of audio engineering, the Ashly MX-508 stands out as a professional-grade 8-input stereo microphone mixer that is both rack-mountable and feature-rich, catering to the discerning needs of audio professionals. With its robust 3U design, this mixer is an ideal choice for a multitude of applications, from live sound reinforcement to sophisticated recording studio setups.

The MX-508 boasts an impressive 84dB of gain, ensuring that even low-level or distant microphones can be amplified to full output with crystal-clear clarity. The meticulously researched microphone preamp is a testament to Ashly's commitment to audio excellence, delivering a discrete circuit with an exceptional -129 dBu Equivalent Input Noise (EIN) and minimal distortion, for a sound that is both pure and powerful.

Flexibility in sound shaping is provided by the mixer's comprehensive EQ section, featuring Low and High Shelving EQ alongside a mid-band peaking EQ, tunable from 140Hz to 8 kHz. This allows for precise tonal control, enabling users to sculpt the audio to their exacting standards.

For versatility, each of the eight channels comes equipped with a dedicated 20dB pad switch, variable gain trim, and Mic/Line selection switches. The front panel offers easy access to +48V phantom power for condenser microphones, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of microphones.

Connectivity is a strong suit of the MX-508, with balanced XLR microphone and TRS Line inputs on each channel. The mixer also features transformer-balanced Left and Right XLR outputs, balanced Left and Right TRS 1/4" outs, and an independent Mono output with its own level control. For private monitoring, there is a selectable Headphone output with a dedicated Level Control.

The MX-508 is designed with meticulous attention to detail, including Peak Clip indicators for each channel and the outputs, ensuring that levels are kept in check. The 10-Segment LED Meters offer visual monitoring and can be set to display the levels of Program Left and Right or Aux 1 and 2.

For expanded connectivity, the mixer includes two Master Aux Sends and two panable Master Aux Returns, one stereo and one mono, as well as Pre-Master Sub In/Out patch points for linking additional mixers. An added convenience is the 3.5mm stereo line-in jack on the front panel, allowing for easy connection of MP3 players and smartphones, with level control routed to the Mains or to Aux 1. Additionally, Stereo RCA Outputs are provided for further routing flexibility.
