ascendo The 10 LCR monitor speaker
Most high-end home theatre options come with a price tag to suit. Not Ascendo Immersive Audio, who produce affordable options based on solid technology for home theatre and discrete installations with options covering all types of situations.
"The 10" monitor comes in two guises - on-wall for height and base layers, and a "wedge" option for height and overhead effects, providing complete and extremely capable immersive home theatre speaker systems for sensible money. The 10 can hit 120dB output continuously thanks to its power handling and efficiency.
The 10 uses a 10" mid/bass driver, into the middle of which a 25mm soft dome tweeter is set, producing genuine point-source sound with extremely even on and off axis dispersion. This provides even dispersion characteristics throughout the room, opening up the sweet spot for more listeners than conventional designs.
The cabinet is ported to aid low frequency output and efficiency, and along with the size of the main driver, allows The 10 to hit an extremely efficient 97dB sensitivity so that it able to be driven by quite modest electronics and reach higher volumes much easier, with huge power handling of up to 500 watts.
"From top to bottom this Ascendo array sounds superb, and surely ranks as value for money - you could easily spend more in a full-fat Dolby Atmos system and not get the same mix of bass energy, mid-range muscle and cinematic attack. It's a sound made for home cinema fun, delivered by on-wall (or in-wall) cabinets that - while not diminutive - will free up more floorspace than a conventional speaker array. An absolute must-audition if you're planning a new system."
