AquaControl™ Portal 2.0 is a free Windows application and your home base for controlling AQZ32, AQM1208, and AQM408. Open it and it automatically discovers the AquaControl devices on your network, so you can launch control for any of them in a single click. Not near your hardware? Switch to the “Demo Products” mode to explore the full interface, build presets and configurations, and save them to load into a live unit later.

AquaControl™ is Ashly’s latest DSP platform, running inside products like the AQZ32, AQM1208, AQM408. Because AquaControl is browser-based, getting connected is a breeze. There are plenty of ways to reach an AquaControl unit, but when you just want simplicity, that’s where AquaControl Portal 2.0 comes in.

Open AquaControl Portal and the Network Devices tab scans your network, listing every AquaControl device it finds. Need to narrow things down? The list sorts and searches by Name, Group, Model, MAC, IP, and live online status. Select a device and click Launch to open the device login page in a browser, or click Refresh to rescan anytime.

Please note: Network discovery requires the latest device firmware. Only the AQZ32, AQM408, and AQM1208 currently support this feature using AquaControl Portal 2.0. Download the latest firmware for your device by clicking here.

If your device firmware is not up to date, or the device discovery feature isn’t working as expected, please refer to this connection guide.

Not near your hardware? The Demo Products tab gives you the complete AquaControl interface with nothing connected. It’s the same software your units run, so it’s ideal for pre-programming a job before you’re on site, training your team, prepping a demo for a tradeshow, or just getting comfortable with the platform at your own pace.

Because it’s the full interface, everything you’d reach for on a live unit is right there. Set up auto-mixing, priority ducking, and ambient noise compensation. Dial in the complete DSP toolkit of dynamics, EQs, FIR filters, and delays. Build out remote control pages, including the Virtual WR-5 wall remote, and schedule it all with the event scheduler. When you’re happy with a configuration, export it and load it straight into a live unit, so the work you do offline carries right through to the install.

AquaControl™ Portal 2.0 is a free download that installs on any Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC. It looks and works exactly like the AquaControl interface built into your hardware, so there’s nothing new to learn.
