Deliver high-quality speech and music with the black Ashly IS 3.8P, a slim column array speaker with a switchable 8-/32-ohm impedance for flexibility in installations and mobile deployments. The 8-ohm mode is ideal for typical low-Z and live-performance applications, while the 32-ohm allows multiple numbers of speakers to be driven from a single 4-channel amplifier.

The rugged aluminum enclosure houses eight 3" full-range drivers equipped with neodymium magnets for optimum performance. The speaker features a 105 Hz to 19 kHz frequency range (-10 dB) with a maximum SPL of 125 dB. The rear panel features a 4-pin block connector and two NL4 speakON In/Thru connectors. Several wall and pole mount options are available. The IS 3.8P includes a block connector and a J-bracket.

• 8 x 3" matched, high power handling transducers with Neodymium magnet structures and heat-resistant voice coils
• Switchable 8-/32-ohm impedance allows up to eight loudspeakers to be driven by a single amplifier channel
• AquaControl and Protêa DSP presets for selected Ashly power amplifiers and DSP processors
• 4-pole Euroblock connector, plus 2 x speakON connectors
• High-strength and light aluminum enclosure
• Durable, chip-resistant polymer coating
• Optional pole, tripod, and tilt or flush wall mounts

• Avoid the complications, added cost, and sound-degrading characteristics of the transformers typically used in column speakers. IS Series’ 8-/32-ohm selectable impedance allows easy reconfiguration for performance install (8 ohms) or distributed audio (32 ohms) applications
• Transformers limit power handling, reduce performance through insertion loss and overdriving at lower frequencies. They are more complicated to install and can result in an unsightly add-on and additional cost
• With the IS Series’ 32-ohm impedance setting, one amp (2 ohms) can be "stretched" across an amazing number of IS’s for BGM or announcements

• 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
• Many 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 as 12 dB of SPL in the mid and upper range when only 40-45 degrees off axis
• The IS Series maintains even coverage over a wide horizontal angle that will assure your audience on the left, center, and right sides of the house (as well as front row and back row) hear the same clear, intelligible voice and music details

• 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.

• Level 1: applies the most advanced and precise DSP to Ashly speakers. Level 1 currently works with most Protêa-enabled products and includes multi-band PEQ, Universal X-over filters, HPF/LPF, FIR filters, and delay (when used with the SP 8.1P or SP-12.1P subwoofers). This DSP level applies to the following Ashly Protêa-equipped amplifier and DSP processors: nXp, nep, pema & ne matrix processors (ne4400, 4800, etc.) Level 1 speaker files will also be available to work for AquaControl-enabled models, such as the mXa-1502. These will provide similar processing to that found in Protêa-based models
• Level 2: designed to work exclusively for the ne24.24m matrix processor. It encompasses many of the same features as Level 1, except for FIR filters
• Level 3: exclusively for the 3.6 & 4.8SP speaker system processors and includes more basic PEQ, HPF/LPF functions and delay. No FIRs or universal X-over

You can spec an all-Ashly system with quality speakers and subwoofers that make beautiful music or deliver clear speech with Ashly's amplifiers and processors that feature Protēa and AquaControl and of course a range of wall controllers

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How many would be needed for a 52sqm space? I would like to DIY and need to know everything I need to purchase

A: The determination of a proper configuration depends on a number of factors including average ambient noise level, square footage of the space, number of occupants, ceiling height and compositon, flooring type, etc. It is highly recommended to hire a sound professional/integrator to assess and survey your environment before proceeding with a purchase.

Q: 2. What is the length size from one end to the other 28''

A: The On-Stage SS7920 Dual Mount Speaker Bracket specifies a length of "20 inches from center of one insert".

Q: 3. How does this compare to the much more expensive Manfrotto 231B?

A: The Manfrotto 231B is a bit taller, however the Impact Column Stand offers a longer spigot on the sliding mount to attach a light at the top or bottom more easily without having to remove it.

Q: 4. Will this Kupo 20 C-Stand Riser fit into an Impact Turtle base?

A: Hi,Yes. The Kupo riser uses a standard 28mm/1 1/8 mount and will work perfectly in the Impact base.Regards,Will H

Q: 5. Can it hold two Behringer Eurolive B11D Active Speakers 1000 watts

A: I use the bracket for 2 QSC 8.2. Make sure you widen the legs so it doesn't tip when only one is put on. Happened to me - one time only! Great buy and really useful in tight spots. I only run stereo and the separation is not wide, but still is stereo and projects well.

Q: 6. any video tutorial for this unit (other then thai ) ?

A: Unfortunately there seem to be no videos featuring this unit. For more information please contact a Sales Representative here at 800-606-6969 or contact Ashly at a href= http://ashly.com/contact target= _blank http://ashly.com/contact/a

Q: 7. This description is confusing. Exactly how high will this light stand go? Is it two sections or 3?

A: Minimum height is more like 21-22" + the height of your base.

Q: 8. What is the exact collapsed length of this Riser? For PACKING purposes.

A: The following unit is 27.17in collapsed.

Q: 9. Do they expand/extend to the sides? How much?

A: This device does not expand or extend.

Q: 10. What is the maximum delay on an output channel? The block diagram shows 21 ms but that seems like a typo.

A: In the manufacturer's specifications for the Ashly Protea 4.8SP - 4 Input, 8 Output Digital Speaker Processor, the user manual lists 1.46ms as the spec for propagation delay and 0 to 682ms as the spec for input and output delay.
