Ascendo Unveils HALO 10 Pro Active EXT Cardioid Speaker at CEDIA Expo 2025

The new HALO 10 Pro Active EXT Cardiod from Ascendo Immersive Audio is a three-way active speaker with a peculiar circular configuration. As Ascendo explains, unlike conventional speakers that radiate sound omnidirectionally, often causing unwanted reflections and bass buildup, the HALO 10 directs low-frequency energy forward, minimizing rear-wall interactions. In the middle, there’s a 10” midrange driver (operating from 200Hz up) paired coaxially with a 3” compression driver, surrounded by six 8” woofers in a cardioid array.

Home theater specialist Ascendo Immersive Audio is a recognized pioneer of infrasonic subwoofer development, impressing the custom integration sector with its early 24, 32, 50, and even 80-inch models. Seeing global sales continuing to grow, the German company now announced THE64 Sub and THE100 Sub, which Ascendo says push the boundaries of low-frequency reproduction with advanced engineering, deeper extension, and unrivaled control.

Ascendo Immersive Audio will debut The10 Passive LED Phantom Voice speaker during CEDIA Expo 2024. This versatile new speaker was created to meet the growing demand for high-quality sound in shallow and narrow spaces, making it a perfect companion for LED cinema screens from leading brands like LG, Samsung, Quantum Media Systems, Christie, Barco, and others, as well as non-perforated or near-field projection screens.

Ascendo Immersive Audio developed a new direct-radiating in-ceiling speaker system, intended to solve the dilemma of home cinemas with LED walls and non-acoustically transparent screens. The ingenious design combines an AMT driver with an asymmetrical waveguide that can be placed directly above the screen. The new Director LED Wall Loudspeaker System will be demonstrated at the CEDIA Expo, September 5-7, at the Colorado Convention Center in Ascendo Sound Room 3.

Trinnov Audio will promote the first US demonstration of its WaveForming technology at CEDIA Expo 2023 in Denver, CO. The French audio processing specialists will host a full-featured immersive cinema demonstration, designed in partnership with Ascendo, madVR Labs, Kaleidescape, Barco, Seymour-Screen Excellence, and Officina Acustica, allowing visitors the first opportunity to experience WaveForming’s improvement in the reproduction of low frequencies.

Ascendo Immersive Audio has introduced four versions of its much-anticipated CCRM15 speaker system, now available in passive and powered active models and with Titanium or Beryllium drivers. The 15" point-source axi-symmetric speaker has been designed as a screen channel for large theaters as left, center and right channels or can be used for very large theaters as a surround bed speaker. The CCRM15 Beryllium is now the top performing coaxial model from Ascendo.
