AsciLab speakers are about to launch

[Purité Audio]

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?

 

[Purité Audio]

Hypex, Pascal probably others too.

[AsciLab]

C8C supports analog/digital inputs. But no network and USB audio feature.
USB is for manufacture control and setting EQ.

For pair.

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.

@AsciLab
Are those subwoofers custom made? If so, do you consider the membranes to be coloured black or white? I think many of us would appreciate this for aesthetic reasons.

I hope we well see reviews fast to match auditory impressions with the measurements.

Hope it has XLR inputs

 

[Purité Audio]

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.

 

[Purité Audio]

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?

 

[MarioBoi]

Any updates on the S6B pre-orders? still on track for late December I assume?

Yes, a linear phase mode will also be included.

 

[AsciLab]

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.

same here

 

[phoenixdogfan]

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?

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.[/td]

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
