Ashly IS 2.8P 8 x 2" Passive Dual-Z Focused Directivity Column Speaker (SINGLE BLACK)

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 (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.

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.
