Perfection and Pleasure The Series C monitors provide a perfect combination of authentic acoustic signal reproduction and three dimensional imaging. The range of application is exceptionally wide: the genuine signal reproduction is totally preserved. The reproduction of acoustic incidents and rooms becomes an experience. For the listener. Series C. 3
Monitor C8 Renaissance The floorstanding monitor C8 Renaissance combines the advantages of an omni-directional point-source radiator with the extended bandwidth signal integrity of ASCENDO s patented SASB- Technology: impeccable homogeneity and ultra low bass capability. The C8 Renaissance provides perfect impulse response and so delivers accurate holographic imaging complemented by defined and powerful low bass performance. Its wider bandwidth, linear frequency response and inherent smoothness go far beyond other speaker systems capabilities. Technical features: Superior time coherence SASB Technology: Extreme low bass capability Homogeneous semi-spherical dispersion Switchable for directivity (TOS Unit): a) Hemisphere: point source with hemispherical directivity b) Dipole: 4-way dipole characteristic with TOS Unit Extended frequency response Superior isolation from floor with base Very high grade chassis and filter parts Typical applications Two channel stereo Multi channel audio Home Cinema Technical data: page 11 The immaculate C8 Renaissance reproduces the acoustic imaging of recordings with perfect accuracy. The back firing TOS Unit allows adjustment to varying decay times of different listening rooms. This flexibility ensures true reproduction and perfect signal integrity from near field to free field setups. 4
