  • Ashdown Engineering is a British manufacturer of instrument amplifiers, particularly for bass, but also developed a range of guitar amps for a number of years. The company was founded in 1997 by Mark Gooday, a chief engineer and manager at Trace Elliot during their glory years, but the company suffered large financial loses and Gooday was fired by Trace Elliot's then parent company Kaman but had secretly been planning to start his own company to offer solid, good-sounding, and affordable bass amplifiers. The company was named 'Ashdown' after Gooday's wife's family name, and the logo was constructed from this, the Austin-Healey motor badge, and Mark's insistence on the 'engineering' wording. The first amplifier that Ashdown produced was the Klystron Bass Magnifier, of which only 200 amps and 100 pre-amps were shipped, since another company had registered the name. Following this, much of the currently available gear was released - the MAG, Electric Blue, and ABM series. Following this, the Acoustic Radiator, Peacemaker, Fallen Angel, and recently, All-Access series of guitar amplifiers have been released, to great acclaim. Ashdown have gone on to produce higher quality boutique and hand-wired amplifiers, such as the Essex Blonde. Ashdown then set up a separate company called Hayden Amplification who specifically produce hand-wired amplifiers. Ashdown are releasing a variety of new and updated bass equipment in 2008. These include: EVO III range of ABM amplifiers, cabinets and combos EVO II range of MAG amplifiers, cabinets and combos Mark King Combo FreeBass UHF Bass Wireless System James LoMenzo HyperDrive Pedal Little Giant 1000W Compact Bass Amp Head Ashdown are concentrating more on bass amplification as from 2007 and will be stopping production of their guitar amplifiers altogether. Their sister company Hayden Amplification will be producing Ashdown's valve guitar amplifiers.

  • アシュダウン・エンジニアリング（Ashdown Engineering ）はイギリスの楽器アンプリファイア製造会社で、ベースを中心に、最近はギターアンプ市場にも参入している。会社設立は1997年で、栄光時代のTrace Elliotでのチーフエンジニア・マネージャの１人、マーク・グッデイ（Mark Gooday ）によって創設。グッデイは自身の会社を始めて、頑丈で良い音を出す、一般に手の届く価格のベースアンプリファイアを提供したいと考えた。会社はグッデイの後の妻の姓から'アシュダウン'と名付けられ、ロゴはこの名と、Austin-Healeyモーターの印、マークによる'エンジニアリング'という単語の強調で構成された。 アシュダウンが送り出した最初のアンプリファイアはKlystron Bass Magnifierという名で、200アンプと100プレアンプに限定して出荷されたが、他の企業によってこの名前は商標登録されていた。これに続き、MAGとElectric Blue、ABMシリーズといった、現在多量に利用できる機器がリリースされた。さらにこれに続き、Acoustic Radiator、Peacemaker、Fallen Angel、最近ではAll-Accessシリーズといったギターアンプがリリースされており、大きな賞賛を得ている。 アシュダウンはEssex Blondeなど、高品質の小型ハンドワイアリング・アンプの提供を目的としている。アシュダウンが分割設置したヘイデン・アンプリフィケーションと呼ばれる企業は、ハンドワイアリング・アンプの仕様提供を行っている。
