Early pro audio interwebs adopters

Ashly, Rane, and EAW come to mind first.

I really like Ashly as a company.  Rock solid kit, outstanding support, etc.   
The only real penetration they got in live pro audio IIRC was first with the EQs, then with the 1u crossovers.

Tape a couple of 75' mic cables together, stash that with the hand held controller, EQ your stage like a boss. IIRC they could have used some more input headroom.  But it was a good solution, forward thinking.

I still have a 4-ch Protea PEQ.  Serial control only, but the Rat Shack USB-serial cable worked just fine.  The last time I used it Windows recognized it and installed the driver.

Pro tip: check cable genders before taping. Ask me how I know.

I just finished setting up an Ashly 4.24d as a backup processor.  Works fine with a Keyspan USB to serial dongle and Windows 10.
