ASCENDO Home Cinema 5.1 Speaker Package

THE6 PASSIVE ON WALL + THE10 PASSIVE ON WALL + THE12 SUB ACTIVE VENTED

Overall, the Ascendo package is a force to be reckoned with, having a sense of limitless power on tap. This output capability is deeply impressive at any price and translates to a system that was simply just cruising at reference levels in our room. Cinematic events had a dramatic scale, impact and – fundamentally – realism and the sonic landscape was rich in spatial detail, adding to the immersive experience. The6-Ps, in particular were improbably capable given their form factor, and indeed compelled a personal purchase from our reviewer

AV Conclusion

High-quality driver technology combined with a home theater-optimized housing result in the CCM-10-P set from Ascendo an outstanding sound quality.

Thanks to wall mounting, the ensemble also appears extremely inconspicuous, which further increases the fascination aspect

TOP CHOICE 2021

The Ascendo Immersive Audio SV-12 is a chest slamming and toe tapping dynamo. Is there such a thing as Subwoofer of the Year?

That likely will go to their 50 inch sub (which we got in for review yesterday). This is another SCARY GOOD product. The SV-12 is in a very tiny class by itself and this entry into affordable subs is a win for every hobbyist out there.

If you're in the market for a subwoofer, you owe it to yourself to find a dealer of Ascendo and demo!

All of the adjectives that you have ever read explaining awesome systems apply here. Immediate, dynamic, immensely powerful yet non-fatiguing. I lost myself in the audio-visual delight of the AIA system. As impressive as it may be, though – with the 32-inch (!) infrasonic subwoofer shaking you in its Thanos-like grip – the system is more than just another powerful player.

The AIA system has a sense of clarity and tone that left me gobsmacked. Music sounds wonderful, and there is no unwanted resonance or distortion at virtually any volume level. Combined with the superb installation and setup done by Brent Durr of Brent’s Hi-Fi Shack, as well as excellent ancillary equipment, this writer has never experienced home-theatre (or any theatre for that matter) at this level.

AV Conclusion

With the new CCM series, ASCENDO for the first time offers upper class sound at a middle class price.

In addition to the excellent sound, it should also find many friends due to its unusual design.

The Ascendo SV-12 is a massively equipped, powerful subwoofer. One that descends to the lowest bass floor, makes the walls in the home theater shake and does not lack in structure-borne sound.

Conclusion

The Ascendo SV-12 is big and delivers what it promises. Merciless low bass, crisp base tones and proper structure-borne sound. All this in rooms up to easily 40 square meters and beyond.
Those who could only dream of an Ascendo subwoofer due to the limited budget can now make their dream a reality.

Sonically, I have not heard a more precise, drier subwoofer in this price range, especially with these really impressive level reserves.

And the fact that this level-fixed bass still plays so cleanly and with such fine dynamics is worthy of all honor and recommends it even in combination with (much more expensive) high-end speakers that also play precisely.

High praise to Ascendo: everything done right.

The new ASCENDO SV12 subwoofer sets a standard for bass performance, low distortion and affordability.

With abysmal bass that really plays deep down, the SV12 subwoofer unleashes cinema-level volume with an amazing ability to convey and articulate the subtle nuances of sound..

The room shakes. Not boomy, but dry and with a punch  the author of these lines has never heard before. 

There is music everywhere. One is literally pressed into the noble seat and hardly understands what is happening here. Time stands still, the mouth wide open with amazement. The notes are dancing. The endorphins too. 

Now Brian May's electric guitar kicks in and cuts like a knife - ultra-precise, almost with surgical precision. I can hardly keep seated in the expensive leather armchair. I want to rush forward, that is how it feels to be in the front row of the concert hall. In the Games of Thrones opening scene, my lips no longer move - my mouth opens in astonishment.

This is what the perfect reality escape looks like.
- No matter whether one prefers life sports, series, music film, live concert, drama or box office motion picture -

Report Ascendo home theater in Ansbach: In the ecstasy of 5 Hertz

| Holger Biermann


Conclusion

I wrote these lines with enough distance to the Ascendo visit. But there is no question in my mind that the Ascendo AIA systems currently represent the ultimate in home cinema because of their audiophile approach, the simplicity of their use and the size of the product lineup. And it doesn't necessarily have to be the brute force of the Ascendo cinema in Ansbach. The demo installation in the Galgenmuehle is virtually a muscle show that proves what is possible at the maximum possible expense. And that is breathtaking. Nevertheless, the wide range of products, especially in the field of subwoofers, makes scaling down pleasantly easy.

High-End Munich 2019 II

These carefully selected systems were considered for the Best of Show. And the ones I revisited the most. It was a very difficult decision as these world-class systems all have their own special qualities. This is the type of sound that is emotionally involving – and naturally convincing. But what they all have in common – is superiority in the reproduction of music.

The set plays as a successful synthesis of concert-PA and high-end speakers. Here everything is rendered insanely direct and really plastically tangible by the discrete space imaging of surround sound reproduction, felt with the whole body – and that has little to do with the volume alone.
