Ashley Audio Products Now Allow User Control from Apple iOS Products Via Key Digital's Compass Control

Ashly Audio announces that all of its processors and amplifiers with Ethernet or RS-232 control capability are now compatible with Key Digital's Compass Control Technology, which allows end-user control from Apple's iPad, iPad Mini, iPhone, and iPod Touch wireless devices. Because many users already own these devices, offering user control via Apple's wireless iOS products is both cost-effective and convenient.

The Ashly Audio products that integrate with Compass Control include the ne24.24M modular matrix processor; the ne4400, ne4800, and ne8800 processors; the Protea 3.6SP and 4.8SP processors; the ne800, ne1600, ne2400, ne4250, and ne8250 amplifiers; the nXe and nXp amplifiers; and all Pema integrated processor/amplifiers. "In this age of highly integrated audiovisual systems, we at Ashly Audio are excited to be able to give our customers yet another means of controlling their pro sound equipment via Compass Control and Apple iOS devices," said Ashly CEO Mark Wentling.

"Resulting from cooperative efforts between Ashly and Key Digital, the integration of its audio products within the Compass Control environment represents a powerful and user-friendly comprehensive solution delivering iOS-based control and entertainment functionality," said Key Digital's vice president of sales, Michael Lakhter. "The Compass Alliance Partners have come together to create a system that has full-driver integration already completed, increasing efficiency for integrators."
