Description
Ashly crossovers are the product of an intensive research effort which combined a re-examination of traditional crossover theory with practical field use. Over the years, a number of refinements and new models have been added to the crossover series, but the original design goals have remained the same: to produce a crossover which is sonically accurate, is flexible enough to suit a wide variety of systems, and affords maximum protection for speakers and drivers.

All Ashly crossovers are based upon the same powerful state-variable filter circuit, which guarantees that 2 adjacent frequency band outputs always remain in phase. The crossovers offer a number of useful and unusual features, including continuous tuning, a response control, and a unique output stage which maintains low noise at any level setting. This model also includes a 200:1 tuning range, output mute switches, and both TRS and XLR connectors. Like other Ashly products, this crossover features low noise and distortion, active balanced inputs, a peak level indicator, a precision regulated power supply, protection against abnormal input or output conditions, and rugged mechanical construction. Conservative design and an unusually thorough procedure for quality control have earned Ashly a reputation for dependability in the recording, sound reinforcement, and broadcast fields.

This crossover can be easily reconfigured for nonstandard operation. For example, a 4-way crossover can easily be used as a mono 2-way with tunable subsonic and ultrasonic cutoff filters, and a stereo 3-way can function as a mono 5-way crossover. No internal modifications are necessary, and audio performance is not compromised. To allow a wide tuning range, the crossovers use a recessed range switch for each frequency control. LED indicators provide range status as soon as the unit is powered on. The range switch divides the frequency indicated on the frequency control by 10 and gives a total range of 200:1 for each control. Ashly crossovers feature a peak detection circuit which monitors signal level at several critical points in the crossover: input, filters, and outputs. The LED will flash when signal levels of +20dBu are reached anywhere in the crossover. Since Ashly's crossovers have a nominal 23dB of headroom referenced to a standard operating level of 0dBu (.77 Volts), a flashing LED warns you that you are only 3dB from clipping.

Ashly XR1001 XR Series Electronic Crossover Reviews

"This baby Rocks with Krell and Magnepan High End Audio!!!!"
Feature:
The unit can be used also as a 3 way crossover in mono. So I will eventually by another one when I go out and buy two REL subs.

Quality:
Built like high-end home audio components but inexpensive. I really don't understand how.

Value:
This product is worth 3 times the price.

Desirability:
Looks great setting between my two Krells!!! I would have sex with it.

Sound:
Okay, I, as just an experiment, bought this product to see how it would work with my two high-end Krell KSA 250s Power Amps and my home Magnepan 3.6 ribbon speakers. I did it because I could not find a Krell $4000 electronic crossover anywhere, nor a Bryston high-end crossover. This kicks ass. These two amps cost over $13800 for the pair and the speakers are about $4,000. This was the best money I ever, eVEr, EVER, EVERRRRR, spent. The crossover, of course, has balanced inputs and outputs so this worked perfect with my Audio Research Preamp and Krells!!!! I only paid $349 for the crossover.

Overall:
Until my speakers blow up!!!
