ASCENDO Immersive Audio GmbH has launched its latest innovation in home cinema audio, introducing the THE64 SUB PRO PASSIVE INFRASONIC SEALED and THE100 SUB PRO PASSIVE INFRASONIC SEALED subwoofers. These 64-inch and 100-inch models, succeeding the acclaimed 50-inch and 80-inch designs, set a new benchmark for ultra-low-frequency performance, delivering bass that is as visceral as it is precise.
Geoffrey Heinzel, Co-Managing Partner of ASCENDO, stated, “We are proud to lead in infrasonic bass. These subwoofers, the largest in the world for home cinema, offer unmatched power, efficiency, and speed, creating an emotionally immersive experience for state-of-the-art home theaters and music systems.”
Engineering Breakthroughs for Unparalleled Performance
The THE64 and THE100 feature significant upgrades in motor, suspension, and enclosure design, pushing the limits of low-frequency reproduction. Key improvements include:
-
Enhanced Suspension System: A quad-spider configuration with advanced materials optimizes excursion, ensuring noise-free operation and improved linearity even at extreme levels.
-
Deeper Bass Extension: Lowered driver resonance and optimized enclosure dimensions achieve unprecedented f3 points, extending frequency response into the infrasonic range.
-
Superior Noise Performance: A refined compliance curve enhances control and minimizes distortion at ultra-low frequencies.
-
Robust Enclosure Design: New single-piece surround tooling and improved internal bracing increase rigidity, while multi-density damping materials reduce resonance and group delay for perfect impulse response.
-
Increased Enclosure Depth: Both models feature a 100 cm deep cabinet, further enhancing infrasonic performance.
Serviceability and Practicality
ASCENDO has also prioritized ease of maintenance, introducing a field-replaceable re-cone kit for quick and efficient servicing, ensuring long-term reliability for these massive subwoofers.
A New Standard in Home Cinema Audio
Replacing the THE50 and THE80 models, the THE64 and THE100 reflect ASCENDO’s adoption of industry-standard naming conventions, incorporating driver basket dimensions. These subwoofers are designed for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts seeking unmatched power and precision in bass reproduction.
With these advancements, ASCENDO solidifies its position as a leader in infrasonic audio, offering subwoofers that deliver an immersive experience that must be felt to be believed.
