The SMSG50 is the largest, most powerful home cinema infrasonic woofer in the world.
It features a custom-built sealed enclosure, tuned to fit the ASCENDO CCRM speaker series for an uncompromising cinema performance.
It meets the highest demands in low end control and extension, dynamics, sound pressure and playback quality.
The SMSG50 has an incredible 50″ (130 cm) driver that has been designed and built based on the latest FEA design to perform in a sealed enclosure playing notes as low as 5Hz and will outperform any large cone subwoofer on the worldwide market in sound quality and SPL output below 10Hz. Maximum SPL is an incredible 100dB at 5Hz and over 120dB at 20Hz!
The SMSG50 also offers features such as AVB (Audio Video Bridged) Network compatibility, 6 kW RMS system performance, extensive DSP control and tablet-based graphical user interface.
AVB is the networking standard for the next generation, offering high-definition lossless audio and video streaming with perfect synchronicity and negligible latency. It is predestined for perfect playback of 3D immersive surround sound formats such as Dolby ATMOS, Auro-3D, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced for a shockingly spatial sound that dissolves from the screen and immerses the viewer completely.
The SMSG50 is suitable as a infrasonic bass system in all installations for uncompromising demands. We recommend 1 sub in large installations. All the loudspeakers from our CCRM and SMS series, can be combined and are particularly suitable for modern 3D applications on the basis of Dolby ATMOS, Auro-3D, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced.
The last generation of highly efficient Class D amplifiers powers the SMS subs. No fan noise can disturb the listening experience because the amps are passively cooled.
ASCENDO’s cinema technology is also integrateable with all reputable home automation solutions; and is also compatible with legacy analogue output systems.
