1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of an Ashly

MX-508 stereo mixer. In one compact rack-mount pack-

age we have combined features, reliability, and sonic per-

formance previously found only in larger and more

expensive mixing consoles. This second generation mixer

is similar to the MM-508, with the addition of output mute

switches on stereo outputs and double or single jack in-

sert points on all input channels.

Other features include optional plug-in isolation

transformers on all inputs, switchable +48V phantom

power, and front panel switching on each channel select-

ing 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 equal-

ization curves. A concentric level and pan control com-

bined 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. Stan-

dard line level outputs on 1/4" connectors, tape outputs

on RCA connectors, and transformer isolated 600 ohm out-

puts on XLR connectors are provided as standard equip-

ment. Ashly still uses professional quality 16mm metal

shaft potentiometers on all controls for greater accuracy

and long life.
