Description

The MX-508 combines traditional Ashly quality with internally modular construction in a package offering outstanding value and reliability. This 8-input stereo rackmountable mixer is designed for a multitude of applications, and boasts an extensive mix of features for such a small unit. The MX-508 features 84dB of gain to ensure full output with low-level or distant microphones. Several years of research went into the microphone preamp and the result is a discrete circuit with better than -129 dBu Equivalent Input Noise (EIN) and very low distortion. Low and High Shelving EQ combined with mid-band peaking EQ tunable from 140Hz and 8kHz make for a very flexible tone control. Phantom power of +48 VDC is provided for condenser microphones via a switch on the front panel. Precision input transformers are easily field-installable, and each input has its own 20dB pad switch. Variable gain trim and Mic/Line selection switches are also found Sweetwater is an Authorized Ashly Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty Ashly MX508 8-channel Rackmount Mixer 8-Channel Stereo Mixer with 8 Mic/Line Inputs and 3-Band EQ The MX-508 combines traditional Ashly quality with internally modular construction in a package offering outstanding value and reliability.
