Description

THE100 SUB PRO PASSIVE — The Most Powerful Subwoofer on Earth

An honest 100-inch subwoofer. No exaggeration. No compromise. With the 100 SUB PRO PASSIVE, ASCENDO presents a monumental achievement in infrasonic loudspeaker design — the undisputed masterwork of subwoofer engineering. Born from the pioneering legacy of our 50” and 64” systems, this ultimate infrasonic transducer ventures boldly into territory never before explored, redefining how bass is understood, reproduced, and felt.


Every square centimeter of this instrument is a statement — a triumph over the mechanical, magnetic, and electrical boundaries that once defined subwoofer design.

Unrivaled in Power, Precision, and Scale
Equipped with a custom-built 100” driver and powered by a 10–22 kW DSP-controlled amplifier via ASCENDO’s Speaker Management Technology, THE100 delivers performance that is simply unmatched:

  • Effortless output down to 1 Hz
  • Absolute authority in the single-digit frequency range
  • Unshakable control, speed, and detail — even at maximum displacement

Its 21” voice coil motor, combined with an ultra-low resonance frequency and critically damped sealed enclosure, results in lightning-fast impulse response and market-leading low group delay — even below 10 Hz. No other subwoofer can match this balance of sheer power and pinpoint control.


Not Just Heard — Felt to the Core
THE100 SUB PRO PASSIVE doesn’t just play low frequencies — it summons them from the earth itself. It moves an unfathomable volume of air with grace, speed, and clarity, articulating each infrasonic wave with surgical resolution. This is not just loud. It’s elemental.


From the subtlest atmospheric rumble to the full-body impact of cinematic destruction, it elevates the emotional and physical experience of sound to a completely new level. And yet, it performs with such precision that it integrates flawlessly into highly critical music playback systems, delivering natural, musically coherent low-frequency extension with zero compromise.


Built On Site. Engineered Without Limits.
Due to the unprecedented scale of the 100” driver, the subwoofer’s enclosure must be constructed on-site. ASCENDO works closely with its certified dealers and integrators to define precise specifications based on room dimensions, acoustic requirements, and architectural constraints.

This ensures that every installation is not just tailored — it is engineered for greatness.

At the Forefront of Infrasonic Innovation
THE100 SUB PRO PASSIVE is more than a subwoofer — it is the ultimate low-frequency reference, the final word in cinematic bass reproduction, and the foundation upon which the greatest audio systems in the world are built. Whether anchoring a world-class home theater or redefining what’s possible in ultra-high-end stereo listening, this is the subwoofer that has no rival.


There is only one. THE100.
