ASCENDO THE HALO 10 Pro Active Ext Cardioid Speaker
ASCENDO Immersive Audio GmbH has unveiled its most ambitious loudspeaker yet — THE HALO 10 Pro Active Ext Cardioid, which is 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 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.

Bond Mate Pro Remote
Bond has launched Mate Pro, a universal 15-channel handheld smart remote control for multiple motorized pergola, awning, shutter, and screen brands. Outdoor residential and commercial living spaces often include a variety of pergolas, shutters, awnings, and screens — each from a different brand with different motors and remotes that use different proprietary RF control protocols, making consolidated or even smart control of all these devices impossible. Mate Pro solves this. Ergonomically designed, it fits nicely in the hand, exuding a quality, weighty feel. Featured is a 169-dot matrix LED display that makes for comfortable viewing day and night. The remote boasts a 200-foot transmission range (contingent on the property), communicating with devices via radio frequency. And because Mate Pro is water resistant, it can be left outdoors without worry. MSRP is set at $289.

The result is bigger, fuller sound with a smaller visual footprint that blends seamlessly into architectural settings. With a circular ribbon tweeter delivering silky highs and an oversized driver producing powerful bass, Ovation creates the illusion of a hidden subwoofer while reducing the number of speakers required.
