SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE COMPARISON
ASCENDO vs Krix for dedicated home cinema
Two different routes to cinema-scale loudspeaker output: coaxial point-source systems versus modular horn-loaded screen-wall systems.
ASCENDO
Point-source timing and flexible channel roles.
Core architectureCoaxial point-source speaker families
Front wallModel-by-model system design
Immersive rolesCoaxial point-source models across screen, surround and height roles
Best fitFlexible high-performance channel architecture
Explore ASCENDO →Krix
Integrated screen-wall systems and horn-loaded dynamics.
Core architectureCompression drivers + constant-directivity horns
Front wallIntegrated modular Series MX screen wall
Immersive rolesSeries MX front wall with complementary Krix surround / height channels
Best fitPurpose-built dedicated screen-wall cinema

Neither architecture wins in every room.
ASCENDO is especially compelling when the designer wants a flexible point-source ecosystem. Krix is especially compelling when a modular behind-screen wall and commercial-cinema-style horn architecture suit the room.
Use the room geometry, listening distance, target SPL, screen construction and desired integration strategy to decide which approach is appropriate.
