AsciLab speakers are about to launch

One question I would like to ask about C8C is,
1) does it come with inbuilt DAC and Streamer?
2) What are all the connections behind?
3) Is the connection behind made such that no need space for just the wire connection behind? I mean if I want to place the speaker flush to the wall..
Jinsung can confirm, but dac/adc and built in EQ yes, but streamer no, so you would have to add a Wiim for example.

Actives use Hypex Fusion right?
 
Do you anticipate preorder discounts on the BX8C, or a discount for ordering the combo of BX8C+C8C? I'm only interested in them together
If the BX8C release timing ends up being within one month of the C8C, we will also review the possibility of offering a combo discount.The BX8C is currently in the final stages of detailed tuning, and it is showing very promising results.We’ll do our best to make it available and share more information as soon as possible.
 
I hope we well see reviews fast to match auditory impressions with the measurements.
 
All the actives we have had here that use the Hypex or Pascal amplifiers have both XLR and RCA.
I can’t think of any actives off the top of my head that don’t?

KEF LR60, which you have sold yourself should come to mind.

Yes the built in streamer/lifestyle designs usually have RJ45 or optical .

Will the C8C and/or BX8C have a linear phase mode similar to the D&D 8C, etc?
 
Any updates on the S6B pre-orders? still on track for late December I assume?
It is scheduled to take place in the last week of December based on ascilab.com.
For the UK, Europe, the US, China, Taiwan, and Singapore, please contact the respective local dealers in your country.
 
We are sharing the MD data first from the C8C + BX8C measurements.
For comparison, the MD data of the C8C alone is included as well.
Thanks to the BX8C, the MD performance below 100 Hz has improved significantly.
For reference, blue represents 96 dB and red represents 86 dB.
The full data is currently being re-measured with 4,000 NFS points to achieve higher accuracy, so it will take a bit more time.
You can look forward to it.

Yes, a linear phase mode will also be included.
Will it come with a remote control? And will it have both a cardioid and a standard mode? Looks like it's cardioid to 150-200 hz standalone, is that correct?
And will all its features work whether input is analog or digital? Finally, are amps off the shelf items that could be replaced in the field (USA) without necessitating shipment back to S. Korea for repair? Also, they look like they dig fairly deep. What's the measured F3, F6, and F10? And could they work on a WISA control hub?

Info for European listeners interested in the C8C - I just received this message from Audiophonics:

Dear Audiophonics team,

I am very thrilled about the upcoming AsciLab C8C cardioid active speaker. AsciLab announced on ASR that their product launch is scheduled for Jan/Feb 2026.

Do you plan to take this speaker into your product portfolio as well? When will it be available for ordering, and at which EUR price (per pair)?

I am located in Germany.

Hi,

Yes it's planned but so far no clear availability date or definitive pricing ...

"We are preparing the preordering of C8C, and the price is not decided yet.

When it's all finished, I'll let you know."

We remain at your disposal for any needs or questions.

Best regards
