Ashly Audio AquaControl Upgrade Introduces Virtual Version of WR-5 Controller

by | Aug 4, 2021 | Audio, Gear, News, Production

The latest update of the free Ashly Audio AquaControl software suite (v1.2.4 ) includes a virtualized version of the company’s WR-5 remote controller.

“The WR-5 remote is one of the most popular accessories added to systems featuring Ashly solutions,” says Noel Larson, EVP of Sales and Marketing at Ashly Audio. “It is constantly praised as an intuitive addition to an audio system that makes life easier for the end-user. The reason we virtualized the WR-5 within the AquaControl software stems back to our promise of being more innovative with our product line.”

The virtual WR-5 remote operates on commonly used touchscreen devices, allowing end-users to control their on-site audio systems with the tap of a button. The software also includes additional notifications for preset recall and import, improvements to tips and warnings, and the ability to save and load individual presets to and from files and templates.

In April, Ashly announced an overhaul of its ducker within the AquaControl software that brings improved flexibility and smoothness of operation, free from incorrect triggering and uncomfortable volume changes. This enabled greater customization of priority signal management to deliver an improved customer experience in schools, hotels, retail stores, and restaurants.

“We told our partners we would listen to their needs, find solutions that work best for them, and help them win more business by using Ashly solutions,” Larson concludes. “This free upgrade is another step in the path to fulfilling that promise.”
