EN.
General: The Ascendo Coax D6 Active is a compact yet powerful active speaker. It is a coaxial system, meaning the tweeter is positioned in the center of the midrange/woofer. This provides better timing since the highs, mids and lows all emanate from a single radiation point. Although the Ascendo Coax D6 Active is only a 2-way coaxial system without an extra bass woofer, the low-end output is impressively powerful and tight without being overpowering. This is because the amplification in the Ascendo Coax D6 Active features a total of 650 watts per speaker, 150 watts for the tweeter and 500 watts for the midrange/woofer. The 18cm coaxial driver comes from the Scandinavian manufacturer Seas. The midrange/woofer membrane is made of transparent XP material which has natural sound characteristics, particularly in the upper frequency range of this woofer where this material performs very well. The tweeter is a 25mm soft dome tweeter with powerful neodymium magnet drive. The cabinet features a bass reflex port on the front and can therefore also be placed closer to the rear wall.

Control: The Ascendo Coax D6 Active has a complete room correction equalizer software with various filters built in so you can make it sound perfect in any room. However, this does require some work before it is perfectly adjusted, of course. According to Ascendo, operating the Coax D6 Active is very straightforward. In our view, this will certainly be the case once you have it set up, but using the equalizer in the speakers for the first time is a matter of reading the manual carefully. The network operates via AVB (Audio Video Stream), and we personally have no experience with this. So this is for the tech-savvy among us. The complete manual is available with all the settings for operating the Ascendo Coax D6 Active. Ascendo in Germany can also be contacted with any questions and they will be happy to help. We will simply demonstrate these speakers as active speakers with a preamp in front. All internet-related questions about the Coax D6 Active should be directed to Ascendo.

Listening: Connected to the McIntosh C8 tube preamplifier, the Ascendo Coax D6 Active sounds excellent right away. We have had Ascendo speakers in our home before, and they always deliver detailed and very natural, pleasant sound. The Coax D6 Active is certainly no exception here. The sound has a pleasant warm character, but it is lively, transparent and highly detailed. The bass coming from these relatively compact 2-way coaxial speakers is also worth mentioning. Not only is it powerful, it is also very musical and enjoyable bass. Never too much and never too little. The Ascendo Coax D6 Active are formidable speakers in their price class and are ideal for the average Dutch living room.
