Ashly Audio IS 2.8PW 8 x 2" Passive Dual-Z Focused Directivity Column Speaker - White (Discontinued)

Ashly IS-2.8PW 8 x 2" Passive Dual-Z Focused Directivity Column Speaker

With their linear array configuration, the IS Series delivers tight, controlled vertical dispersion with a long throw angle and ultra-wide horizontal dispersion. Consistent front-back and side-to-side coverage helps everyone hear the same thing, no matter their position. More listeners on the far left and right in a ballroom, church, municipal facility or wedding venue can hear the spoken word better. Live or DJ music in a restaurant or bar is more immersive and less directional. Every seat is the best seat in the house!

IS Series speakers sound great right out of the box. But using them with Ashly amps and DSP makes their performance even more amazing!

Advanced DSP voice presets for both Protêa and AquaControl™ DSP-equipped amps provide sophisticated processing (PEQ, HPF/LPF, FIR filters, X-Over and Delay) to deliver optimal performance for a variety of venues by providing flat frequency response across the listening area without the need for complicated and time-consuming manual adjustments.

Ashly IS speakers feature aluminum alloy chassis' with detachable metal grilles, making them suitable for punishing portable applications as well as installs. Available in black or white, each SKU comes with surface-mount "J" brackets. Joiners, tilt-swivel brackets, extension pole and tripod are available. Their sleek low-profile design will satisfy picky architects. IS's are a perfect match with our SP12.1P 12" subwoofer.

The speaker is comprised of 8 x 2" full-range neodymium drivers in a linear array configuration, housed in an extruded aluminum enclosure with a perforated steel/cloth-backed front grille. The speaker's rear panel includes dual 1/4" phone plug inputs as well as a 2-pole removable Euroblock connector, all running in parallel allowing for easy daisy-chaining of additional speakers. The impedance switch allows for the selection of either 8 Ohm or 32 Ohm operation. The 32 Ohm setting may be used when connecting multiple speakers to a single low-impedance amplifier without the need for transformers and without loading down the amp. There are screw bolts on the rear to accommodate several mounting options and a 1 3/4" recessed hole on the bottom of the enclosure for pole or tripod mounting. The enclosure measures 24" H x 2.76" W x 3.54" D and has a net weight of 6.4 lbs.

The speaker is capable of handling 120W of continuous power and has a sensitivity of 88dB (1W@1m). It's also capable of producing a max SPL of 115dB and has a frequency response of 115Hz - 20kHz (-10dB). The speaker provides a horizontal dispersion of 190 degrees and a vertical dispersion of 30 degrees.

The speaker's frequency response may be further enhanced when used with specially-tailored DSP presets for Protea or AquaControl-equipped amps and processors. The speaker is sold individually and packaged with flush wall-mount brackets.
