Ashly Audio was founded in 1974 by Billy Thompson, a maverick engineer who inspired a group of friends to redirect their talents for sound engineering toward the manufacturing of durable, affordable, and above-all innovative pro audio. We’re still in the city where we began, scenic Webster, New York, near Rochester. And many of our employees have been with us for 30 or more years!
Ashly was quick to recognize early on that there was much more to sound quality than standardized coding and fancy filtering algorithms. It was Thompson’s passion for designing and building these components, his commitment to focusing on functionality, musicality — and most of all reliability — that cemented Ashly’s enduring legacy in live sound and fixed systems.

Connected Distribution is a Cheltenham based trade distributor of hi-fi and custom installation products. Formed in 2000, the company was originally set up to primarily be a custom installation company. However; as residential technology at this time was very new to the UK, there appeared to be a gap in the middle to lower end of the market for solutions and products in the CI arena. Hence, the company evolved into a ‘one stop shop’ for the trade (AV professionals, Custom Installers and Electricians). We are sole UK distributors of several highly respected brands and sub-distributors for other leading electronics manufacturers.
