Ashly XR Series - Manual

Crossovers - XR Series

The XR Series II crossover feature 24dB per octave filters,

infinitely variable crossover frequency and response, as well

as both 1/4” TRS phone jacks and XLR connectors for all

inputs and outputs. Output Mute switches on each channel

are included for convenient and accurate setup operation,

and a peak overload indicator monitors all critical points in

the circuit to ensure low-distortion operation. A recessed

switch on the front panel with an LED indicator allows for

either normal or “divide by ten” frequency selection.

The XR Series II models feature Ashly’s exclusive

“Response” control, allowing the user to select the best

performance for a given application. The purpose of this

control is to help offset the inaccuracies inherent in typi-

cal loudspeakers, where many anomalies can occur at the

crossover point. This Response control adjusts the damp-

ing of the filter, affecting its shape near the crossover

point. The “Butterworth” response, for instance, results in a

gentle 3dB rise when the two filter output signals are com-

bined. Similarly, a “6dB” setting produces a “Linkwitz-Riley”

response for flat summing. Other responses are possible

to correct for driver, cabinet, and room problems at the

crossover point. No other crossover offers the ability to

dynamically shape filter response as precisely. For the ulti-

mate in sound system control and accuracy, the

XR Series II models are the logical choice.

The XR-1001 is a stereo two-way or mono three-way cross-

over. The XR-2001 offers the unique ability to operate as a

stereo three-way or mono four- (or five-) way, or even as

a four-channel two-way configuration for bi-amplifying on-

stage monitor systems. The XR-4001 fulfills the needs of

four-way stereo setups. All Ashly crossovers are U.L. Listed

and backed by our exclusive Five Year Worry-Free Warranty.
