Product Description

Ashly AQZ32 AquaControl AQZ32 16 in x 16 out Matrix Processor with Dante

Overview

The AQZ32 is a powerful Dante-embedded matrix and zone mixer designed for use with external amplification, providing the processing and flexibility to tackle virtually any audio application. With LAN connectivity, the AQZ32 offers remote access via any browser-enabled device, enabling effortless configuration and troubleshooting from anywhere in the world.

Powered by the AquaControl™ DSP engine from the AQM1208, the AQZ32 features a comprehensive library of DSP functions within an intuitive, user-friendly interface that doesn’t require advanced training to master.

Its 16 mic/line inputs and 16-line outputs are ideal for mic mixing, music distribution, noise masking, and other applications, ensuring exceptional sound quality and seamless system performance. The addition of Dante network audio expands its capabilities, allowing up to 32 channels to mix into any of the 16 analog outputs and enabling processed analog inputs or outputs to be sent back to the Dante network.
