Apantac LLC is a private held American Image signal processing equipment company founded by Bill Thompson and Dave Malloy in 1974.[1] Ashly produces over 40 products, including amplifiers, mixers, equalizers, digital and analog audio processors, for the recording and live sound industries.

History[edit]

1960-1976[edit]

Ashly Audio, Inc. was started as a live sound reinforcement company, until the founders began producing their own equipment. The company was named after a founder, Larry Ashley, who did not continue with the company into their era of equipment production when they became a corporation in 1974.

Demand for the components used in Ashly's mixers caused the company to develop their equipment in a modular fashion. Their first successful product came in 1976, when they developed the SC-66 stereo parametric equalizer. It was a hit and Ashly changed their focus as a company toward developing modular rack gear.

1977- now[edit]

Ashly developed power amplifiers using MOS-FET technology. Their amplifiers were the first to be approved by Lucasfilms for THX certified movie theater sound systems. Later developments included the Ashly Protea and multichannel power amplifiers.[2]
