Exotic Tweeters

These exotic tweeters offer some of the finest highs you'll hear out of a speaker. The exotic tweeter is the same one found on ultra-high end speakers that cost more than a car! But with Ashton’s tweeters, you can experience its precise accuracy and meticulous detail at a fraction of the price.

Aerated Polypropylene Drivers

The system sound so warm and natural. The material the speaker is made of has a lot to do with it. Aerated polypropylene is stiff on the outside providing transient response, but "chewy' on the inside providing damping and light mass. It is a perfected method of analyzing a speaker's behavior at the microscopic level with lasers to tune out unwanted resonance and distortion.

Sonic Port

Featured in all models. Unfortunately all speakers have a resonance point that will cause midbass boom causing vocals to sound "chesty." We address this problem head on with our own Sonic Port technology bringing you clear, resonance free midrange.

Piano Gloss Black Wood Enclosure

The piano gloss black finished with wood side panels looks classy and blends in with either antique décor or modern high tech furnishings, but it doesn't stop there. The cabinet is extensively braced against any unwanted cabinet resonance.

Advanced Crossover

The advanced crossover configuration provides wider dispersion and greater midrange accuracy on multi-driver speakers. It's only used on higher end speakers. Your mids will sound more natural and every seat will hear spectacular sound.

Remote Control

The fully functional remote control allows you to adjust your whole system without getting up from your seat.

Magnetically Shielded

All models are magnetically shielded for safe placement near CRT displays.

Multiple Hook-Up Options

Multiple inputs and 5 sets binding posts for speaker level outputs allows easy connection to your Ashton Home Theater System.

Intelligent Digital Amplifier

Ashton subwoofers use intelligent digital amplifiers. Allows for high efficiency, bullet proof reliability and minimal heat generation. This means, not only can they put lots of power to your woofer, they'll use very little power at low volumes or standby mode. Think that maybe this unit can put out too much power? No problem, use the handy remote and turn it down. But at idle, the intelligent amplifier barely draws any power.

Optimized Woofer

Ashton engineers were able to optimize the woofer's motor structure, voice coil alignment and suspension bringing you the best possible performance even at extreme listening levels. Our woofers have Composite Kevlar Fiber Cones, which is lightweight and stiff for greater efficiency and cone control bringing you maximum boom for the buck. They also have Polyether Urethane Surround, provides superior damping and will not rot like other cheaper foam surrounds, providing years of reliable service.

Subwoofer Enclosure

Beautifully crafted and extensively braced with a thick MDF baffle. The cabinet not only looks great but is structurally sound bringing you tight and controlled bass. Finished in high quality wood veneer and piano gloss black, these subs matching today's high tech TVs, furniture and speakers.

Bass Port

Ashton technology is featured on every Home Theater System speaker. With significantly more surface area, this design means gobs of low-end output without unwanted air chuffing noises.

Premium Connectors

All speaker connectors are made for maximum signal transfer.
