At CEDIA Expo 2025, ASCENDO Immersive Audio GmbH unveiled its most ambitious loudspeaker yet — THE HALO 10 Pro Active Ext Cardioid — a three-way active speaker that redefines precision, power, and elegance in high-performance audio.
Unlike conventional speakers that radiate sound omnidirectionally — often causing unwanted reflections and bass buildup — THE HALO 10 leverages cardioid bass technology, directing low-frequency energy forward while minimizing rear-wall interactions. This results in tighter, more controlled bass, reduced room resonance, and a cleaner, more precise soundstage that is designed for critical listening environments where every detail matters.
THE HALO features:
- 10-inch coaxial midrange driver (operating from 200 Hz up) paired with a 3-inch compression driver for seamless highs.
- Six 8-inch woofers in a cardioid array, delivering deep, articulate bass down to 55 Hz with minimal rear energy.
- 136+ dB SPL at 1m with staggering dynamic range and headroom.
- Ultra-compact depth (just 10 inches), making it ideal for spaces where traditional high-performance speakers won’t fit.
The HALO 10 PRO is designed for DSP-driven amplification, with recommended power ranging from 600–1200 watts (HF), 2000–2500 watts (midrange), and 2000–5000 watts total for the woofers. Customizable in matte, high-gloss, or carbon finishes, it’s as much a statement of design as it is performance.
