ASCENDO The 24 SUB PRO Active Sealed : High-end performance fully active, DSP controlled 24″ infrasonic subwoofer
The 24 SUB PRO ACTIVE SEALED infrasonic subwoofer is a statement.
Its huge cone surface area and huge 90 mm of linear stroke – represents a world record for cinema subwoofers – allow it to move a gigantic volume of 10 liters of air per stroke to pressurize the room.
Due to its ultra-low resonance frequency and its sealed enclosure design the group delay is several times faster than the smaller 18″, 15″ or 12″ subwoofers at the same frequency. Also the acoustic power output per cubic inch is by far in favor of this unique design compared to stacked multiple smaller subwoofers.
The 24 SUB PRO ACTIVE SEALED is particularly suitable as a infrasonic bass system in all home cinema installations or commercial cinemas or high-end stereo systems, for uncompromising demands.

Also the acoustic power output per cubic inch is by far in favor of this unique design compared to stacked multiple smaller subwoofers.
Its ingenious design allows The 24 SUB PRO ACTIVE SEALED to produce frequencies in the infrasonic frequency range with authority, reaching down lower than subwoofers with a smaller diaphragm surface ever will. At the same time this infrasonic subwoofer renders those notes with much more power, structure and resolution.
This ASCENDO-developed 62 cm / 24″ super woofer is powered by one of the best high current amplifier designs delivering 6000 watts of power for multiple seconds. Its state-of-the-art DSP control allows to perfectly align the The 24 SUB PRO ACTIVE SEALED to any existing setup by adjusting crossover, phase and amplitude response.
The 24 SUB PRO ACTIVE SEALED ideally suits not only all types and sizes of cinemas, but also high-end stereo systems. Much of the spacial room information of the recording environment in a great audiophile recording is contained in the sub 30Hz audio band. You will hear more details in mid and high frequencies.
The 24 SUB PRO ACTIVE SEALED – more bass pressure, depth, structure, attack, imaging equals more enjoyment.
The 24 SUB PRO ACTIVE SEALED is suitable as a infrasonic bass system in all installations (cinema or hi-fi) for uncompromising demands. We recommend 1 sub in medium/large installations.
The last generation of highly efficient Class D amplifiers powers the ASCENDO subs. No fan noise can disturb the listening experience because the amps are passively cooled.
