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.
