Operator Manual – XR 1001 Crossover 

Copyright© 2012 – Ashly Audio Inc. 

Introduction 

Congratulations on your purchase of an Ashly XR 1001 Crossover. This crossover is the 
product of an intensive research effort which combined a reexamination of traditional 
crossover theory with practical field use.  Over the years, refinements and new models have 
been added to our 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.  

 

We are confident that you will be pleased with the high performance, superb sound quality, 
and reliability that Ashly is known for. 

About Ashly 

Ashly Audio was founded in 1974 by a group of recording engineers, sound professionals, 
and electronics designers. The first products were custom consoles for friends and 
associates, but business quickly grew.  The philosophy established from the very beginning 
holds true today: to offer only the highest quality audio tools at an affordable cost to the 
professional user – ensuring reliability and long life. Many years later, Ashly remains 
committed to these principles. 

Safety 

In order to minimize the risk of injury, damage, or hearing loss, please read 

the entire owner’s manual before connecting to a sound system. 

 

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to 
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's 
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to 
persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user 
to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature 
accompanying the device.

USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
