Big Industry Wins at ISE for The28 SUB SQUARED

ASCENDO was particularly excited to announce that their flagship product, The28 SUB SQUARED PRO PASSIVE infrasonic low-profile subwoofer, received CE Pro’s Top New Technology Award and Residential Systems’ Best of Show Award in the subwoofer category. These accolades highlight the cutting-edge technology and superior performance that The28 SUB SQUARED brings to audio systems.

The16 SUB: A Testament to Power and Precision

Another highlight of the event was the recognition of The16 SUB as Stereonet’s Product of the Year. With an impressive 80-inch driver and weighing in at 260 kilograms, this subwoofer redefines the concept of “room-filling” sound. Stereonet praised its ability to “plumb subterranean depths with absolute authority.” The16 SUB strikes an exceptional balance between size, efficiency, and low-frequency extension, delivering 1,000 watts of Class D power in a meticulously designed sealed box, resulting in minimal overhang and a punch that leaves a lasting impression.

Showcasing Innovation: New Products Unveiled

During ISE 2025, they also introduced several exciting new products, including:

  • AIA2-10K2 IS Amplifier: A high-power amplifier designed for superior audio performance.
  • Ultra-Low-Noise DSP ULN2-2604 Amplifier: Engineered for quiet operation without compromising on power.
  • DSP-4D Processor: A powerful and intelligent DSP processor that enhances audio experiences.

Additionally, they showcased The28 SUB SQUARED to an international audience for the first time, along with their innovative Black Swans. Videos produced by Geoffrey provided a captivating narrative of these groundbreaking products, further emphasizing ASCENDO’s commitment to excellence.

Conclusion

ISE 2025 was not just an event; it was a celebration of the remarkable achievements within the audio and visual industry. As they recognized the outstanding contributions of their partners and unveiled innovative products, they look forward to continuing our journey of excellence and collaboration in the years to come.
