Ashly Audio Celebrates its 50th Anniversary
Ashly Audio is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024.
Engineer Billy Thompson founded Ashly Audio in Rochester, New York, in 1974. Thompson’s vision inspired a group of friends to channel their sound engineering talents into creating durable, affordable and innovative professional audio equipment. Ashly’s legacy in professional audio is rooted in Thompson’s passion for design, commitment to functionality, musicality, and above all, reliability.
“Fifty years ago, Ashly embarked on a mission to put professional audio products in the hands of those looking to bring the best to their audience,” said Noel Larson, general manager at Ashly Audio. “As we recently pulled together stories from our first 50 years, we loved hearing about how loved our initial gear was and what a difference it made in the lives of those early tour rigs.”
To celebrate 50 years, Ashly is hosting a social media contest which urges fans to show off their Ashly products. By following one of Ashly Audio’s social channels, including Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn, liking the contest post, and sharing photos of their Ashly products, entrants entries will receive a free Ashly T-shirt. A weekly winner will receive a free custom Ashly vest and the grand prize winner with the most online votes will receive a $1000 voucher toward an Ashly Audio product. Full content details are available on the company’s website.
