      Theresa JonesJul 26, 2025
      If you are experiencing distorted sound with your Ashly Recording Equipment, it's likely due to excessive signal levels, indicated by the Clip LED. To resolve this, adjust the gain of each component in your setup to maintain a comfortable level throughout the audio chain.

    Why does my Ashly Recording Equipment have excessive hum or noise?
    • M
      marisawoodsAug 1, 2025
      Excessive hum or noise in your Ashly Recording Equipment can stem from several causes. Hum is often due to a ground loop between components; try using balanced inputs and outputs to mitigate this. Excessive hiss may result from an insufficient drive signal to the equalizer; ensure you're sending a nominal 0 dBu line level signal. Additionally, cumulative noise can occur if gain is applied too late in the audio chain; apply gain to individual source signals as early as possible for optimal performance.

      Brandon WhiteAug 12, 2025
      If the peak light on your Ashly Recording Equipment flashes or remains constantly lit, it indicates that the signal level to the equalizer is too high. Reduce the gain. If the light remains on after reducing the gain, the unit requires professional servicing.
