THE10 Passive LED Phantom
Ascendo THE10 Passive LED Phantom Speaker
THE10 in a specialty LED-illuminated Phantom version — the same high-performance 10" coaxial passive platform with integrated mood lighting for private cinema installations where aesthetics and speaker design merge.
Overview
The ASCENDO THE10 Passive LED Phantom is a unique variant of the THE10 on-wall speaker range, incorporating integrated LED illumination into the speaker enclosure for installations where the speaker becomes a visual design element rather than just a hidden component. The acoustic platform is the same 10" time-coherent point-source coaxial driver and passive vented enclosure as the standard THE10, retaining its high-output performance and controlled 85°×85° directivity. The LED Phantom version is specified by designers and integrators who wish to create dramatic mood lighting around the speaker array — whether at the screen wall, along side walls, or at overhead height positions — synchronised with the cinema experience. Kolosseum specifies the Phantom for flagship cinema rooms where every design element contributes to the total immersive environment.

Integrating the Ascendo THE10 LED Phantom for Immersive Cinema Aesthetics
Kolosseum specifies the THE10 LED Phantom in flagship private cinema projects where the client brief includes a fully designed immersive environment — not just a great-sounding room.

Suitable for medium-to-large dedicated cinema rooms. Requires mains power routing for LED drive as well as standard speaker wiring to the passive drivers. Low-frequency subwoofer support is required below 100 Hz.
