ASCENDO Immersive Audio GmbH is set to redefine high-performance audio with the world premiere of THE HALO 10 PRO ACTIVE EXT CARDIOID at CEDIA Expo 2025. This groundbreaking three-way active loudspeaker combines precision, power, and elegance in a stunning circular design, debuting in Sound Room 7 and on static display at ASCENDO’s booth (4312).
A Dramatic Showcase Behind the Screen
In Sound Room 7’s $1M home theater, THE HALO 10 PRO serves as the LCR (Left, Center, Right) speakers behind a Seymour-Screen Excellence acoustically transparent screen. During a breathtaking reveal, the screen rises to showcase the speaker’s mesmerizing circular form and revolutionary cardioid bass technology. Attendees will experience pure, room-filling sound that disappears into cinematic immersion, delivering pinpoint accuracy and emotional depth. At booth 4312, ASCENDO experts will offer an up-close look at its cutting-edge engineering.
Cardioid Technology: Precision Redefined
Unlike traditional speakers that radiate sound omnidirectionally, causing reflections and bass buildup, THE HALO 10 PRO employs cardioid bass technology. This directs low-frequency energy forward, minimizing rear-wall interactions for tighter, controlled bass and a cleaner soundstage—ideal for critical listening environments.
Engineering Meets Elegance
Named for its ability to “dissolve” into the listening experience, THE HALO 10 PRO features:
-
A 10” coaxial midrange driver (from 200Hz) paired with a 3” compression driver for seamless highs.
-
Six 8” woofers in a cardioid array, delivering articulate bass down to 55Hz.
-
136+ dB SPL at 1m with exceptional dynamic range.
-
Ultra-compact 10” depth, perfect for space-constrained setups.
-
Customizable matte, high-gloss, or carbon finishes.
Designed for DSP-driven amplification (600W–1200W HF, 2000W–2500W midrange, 2000W–5000W woofers), THE HALO 10 PRO balances performance and aesthetics.
A Vision of Immersion
“With HALO, we distilled the magic of our flagship BLACK SWAN into a compact, visually and sonically invisible form,” says Geoffrey Heinzel, Co-Managing Partner of ASCENDO. “It’s not just a speaker it’s pure emotion, scale, and immersion.”
