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

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.
