Ascendo C8-C is a four-way loudspeaker constructed with ASCENDO's SASB Technology and ASCENDO TOS-Unit. It is intended for use in small to mid-size rooms and can be used with amplifiers in the power range of 10 W to 350 W. The C8-C has a frequency range of 29 Hz (-3 dB) – 32.000 Hz and a sensitivity of 88 db / 1W/m. It can be used in a single-amp setup or in a bi-amp setup. The C8-C also features a switch-able backfiring TOS-Unit that optimizes spectral inhomogeneous decay times.

1.4 Operating modes
You can use the C8-C a single-amp setup (one power amplifier for high- and low-frequency
unit) or in a bi-amp setup (one power amplifier for the low-frequency-unit, one for the high-
frequency unit).
If your setup is single-amp you must bridge the high- and low-frequency unit with a high
quality speaker cable.

The C8-C can be connected as follows:
· single-wired: one cable-pair from power-amp to outer chassis (4+5) unit, one bridge-
cable pair from outer chassis (4+5) to inner chassis (6+7).
· bi-wired: one cable-pair from power amp to outer chassis (4+5), one from the power
amp to inner chassis (6+7). This is recommended by ASCENDO.
· bi-amped: one cable-pair from separate amps outer chassis (4-5) and inner chassis (6+7)
Take care of connecting always the plus (red) terminal of your power amp with the plus (4 +
6 / red) terminal of the speaker.
5. TOS-Unit
The conception of C8-C utilizes a switch-able backfiring TOS-Unit. This Unit optimizes spectral
inhomogeneous decay times.
The system offers two complementary modes of operation:
Switch (8) in position AN (Dipole)
· 4-way dipole diversity with TOS - Unit
Switch (8) in position AUS (Hemisphere)
· One-Point-Source with homogenous hemisphere diversity
6. Cleaning
Clean the enclosure and stand of the ASCENDO C8-C with a dry and soft cloth.
Don’t use water or other chemicals. Don’t touch the tweeter and the woofer.
