A sealed enclosure was chosen for The16, as a sealed design delivers the utmost precision and musicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAscendo wanted to go beyond a 15-inch cone, and ultimately were able to fit a 16-inch woofer in an enclosure not much larger than The12. They achieved this by designing a narrow but high roll surround. No expense was spared to make this a low distortion yet very high linear excursion surround. For the cone material, they designed a triple material sandwich cone, with a Rohacell core, to be very stiff and light enough to provide the extension needed for such a small enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe motor is a triple stack magnet that provides the magnetic strength to bring the system Q low enough to have high electrical control over the woofer, but still high enough to work perfectly in a sealed enclosure. The woofer has a linear Xmax one way of 21mm, hence 42mm linear Xmax both ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the amplifier section, Ascendo uses a linear power supply that can be switched between 110V or 230V, depending on the markets where it is being used. The amplifier section has a 1kW (RMS) output, with tons of dynamic headroom for undistorted peak dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe connectivity remains the same excellent design of the model The12, with Balanced XLR inputs for LFE, which is a full range design with no processing, allowing the surround processor to handle bass management. Two RCA inputs for stereo applications complete the input section, featuring a variable crossover from 50 to 150Hz. There is also a variable phase control and a gain knob to perfectly level the woofer. An auto sense feature turns the subwoofer on automatically, or there is the option to remain on at all times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure is made from HDF, with a black ash vinyl wrap that looks clean and is easy to maintain. The16 comes with a grille covered in a black stretch fabric, that can be removed if desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"hp-title\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Ascendo_16SAS_Measurements-1.jpg\" alt=\"The16 SUB Measurements\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Ascendo_16SAS_Measurements-2.jpg\" alt=\"The16 SUB Measurements\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Ascendo_16SAS_Measurements-3.jpg\" alt=\"The16 SUB Measurements\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Ascendo_16SAS_Measurements-4.jpg\" alt=\"The16 SUB Measurements\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Ascendo_16SAS_Measurements-5.jpg\" alt=\"The16 SUB Measurements\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Ascendo_16SAS_Measurements-6.jpg\" alt=\"The16 SUB Measurements\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Ascendo_16SAS_Measurements-7.jpg\" alt=\"The16 SUB Measurements\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col_full\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.audioadvice.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Ascendo_16SAS_Measurements-8.jpg\" alt=\"The16 SUB Measurements\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ascendo Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45319646216215,"sku":"ASCENDO:16SAS","price":547.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/0639\/6439\/files\/ypsidcw0p766_65e02323-205f-4866-93f2-a5c8189d5f68.jpg?v=1784652891","url":"https:\/\/audiodvice.shop\/products\/ascendo-audio-the16-sub-active-sealed-subwoofer-each-dqf3pb","provider":"Wild Fern Baby Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
