Floorstanding loudspeakers — Ascendo System M5S SE

The System M5S SE is the SE version of the Ascendo System M5S, itself a passive floor speaker with three ways. It keeps the SASB bass and midrange arrangement and magnetostatic tweeter of the M5S.

Key specs that matter

The M5S SE has a frequency response of 26 Hz to 42 kHz, sensitivity of 91 dB and a nominal load of 8 ohms. Recommended program power is 600 W. Its cabinet is 40 cm wide, 148.5 cm high and 45 cm deep, and each speaker weighs 129 kg, a few kilograms more than the standard M5S.

Engineering and use context

With that height and weight, placement is effectively permanent once the speakers are set in position, and moving them calls for two people. Ascendo also builds an active version of the M5S SE with integrated amplification.
