Did you know our ASS Concert System loudspeakers were used by leading DJs and by bands such as Swedish blockbuster group ABBA and by Europe on their "Final Countdown World Tour 1986-88".

These loudspeakers are the de facto system for professionals who like to play loud and clear.
It's also identical to the rig that Steve Howlett aka DJ Froggy used at the famous Caister Soul Weekenders, as well as in clubs throughout the UK during the 1980s.
Froggy worked extensively with names such as Dave Lee Travis and Emperor Rosko (BBC Radio 1 DJs) and Froggy was the one who introduced dual deck mixing to the UK back in the late 1970s.
Froggy visited Paradise Garage, New York City where he saw DJ Larry Levan synchronising the beats of records on two turntables.
He also visited Studio 54 to watch the DJs beat matching records there.
Both venues were equipped with "cost no object" sound systems designed by Richard Long.
On his return to the UK, Froggy approached Tony Rossell at Acoustic Sound Systems to build something bigger than his existing Matamp/Orange system that would perform just like the huge systems he heard playing in New York.
And that's when the ASS Concert System started to become famous, being squeezed into Southgate's Royalty Nightclub every weekend and used to incredible effect at all the Caister Soul Weekenders.
We didn't want our ASS Concert System to sound like one from thirty years ago, as speaker drivers today are so much more advanced than they were then. So we asked Tony Rossell himself as the original designer, to specify, select and supply the highest quality 21st century drivers for use in our system.
Every cabinet has been returned to ASS for complete refurbishment and now looks as good as it sounds.
