IS Series Dual Impedance Column Speakers
+ matching SP 8.1P or SP 12.1P Subwoofers
Ashly’s advanced reinforcement column.
Power up to 32 IS columns from one 4-ch Ashly amp (4Ω mode)!
Avoid the complications, added cost and sound-degrading characteristics of the transformers typically used in others’ column speakers. IS Series’ 8/32-ohm selectable impedance allows easy reconfiguration for Performance Install (8 Ohms) or Distributed Audio (32 ohms) applications.
Running up to 64 column speakers from one amp with no transformers results in lower costs and better sound.

Superior horizontal and vertical dispersion for excellent coverage.
Superior horizontal and vertical dispersion for excellent coverage.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!
Superior Horizontal & Vertical DispersionMany column speakers offer tight vertical and wide horizontal dispersion. That is actually a natural characteristic of this type of speaker. However, where they mostly fall short is the consistency of their horizontal coverage angle. A typical column speaker loses as much as12dB of SPL in the mid and upper range when only 40-45 degrees off axis.

The IS Series maintains even coverage over a wider horizontal angle than most popular column arrays (as illustrated in the EASE plot below-measured at 50m distance in the critical vocal range). Notice that there is virtually no change in coverage from the polar point (on-axis) to as much as 80 degrees off axis (the white area around th edge, which is less than 5dB down). That will assure your audience on the left, center & right sides of the house (as well as front-row and back row) hear the same clear, intelligible voice and music details. That’s what they expect and so should you. That’s what Ashly IS delivers.
Custom DSP processing further improves IS Series performance.
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 (available for free from the Ashly website) 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.
This makes IS speakers an integral part of a complete Ashly solution.
DSP: The “secret sauce” that sets IS apart from the competition.IS’s unique driver array provides consistent side-to side coverage, with virtually no deviation in the critical vocal range, even in excess of 80 degrees off-axis. There are three levels of DSP processing for IS Series speakers:
