From the Desert to CEDIA: Deus Audio Machines Says It Has Redefined Bass Precision

(October 14, 2025) At CEDIA Expo 2025, Deus Audio Machines made its explosive debut as a new name emerging from the shadows of industry OEM design and engineering. Co-founded by John Hart, a veteran with more than two decades in commercial and consumer acoustics, the company unveiled an infrasonic subwoofer unlike anything the show floor had seen. Built entirely in-house in Salt Lake City, the design features precision-machined components, proprietary motor technology, and distortion levels so low that they've made the claim that it's the lowest distortion driver technology ever created.

In this exclusive interview, Hart shares the company’s origins, technical approach, and the data-driven philosophy behind their engineering. From 20 kW power handling and free air testing to an Expo collaboration with PMC and StormAudio, Deus Audio Machines is making its mark on how extreme bass performance is engineered and verified.

That's incredible... definitely need a dedicated power panel.

 

[Todd Anderson]

We need to get one into your room!

[Sonnie Parker]

I'd have to build a bigger room.

 

[Todd Anderson]

You like building stuff, I hear… just say’n!

 

[Sonnie Parker]

lol... Yes... I do, but I'm old and worn out now. The best I can do is make a dent in a chair.

 

[Chuck Gerlach]

And that compares to the Ascendo 65 or 100 in what ways? Price?

 

[Todd Anderson]

I believe the price is roughly $150K… as to its comparison to the Ascendo 64”… I believe the actual surface area of the driver cone is slightly larger as Ascendo measures tip to tip of the driver and its frame.

I’d assume output is similar, the Deus is claiming even lower measurable distortion.

Interesting to see how well they survive long term . Their website shows an 18" sub with interesting specs. Their parent company, Swarm, does work for Triad, Klipsch and ..... Walmart among many other names I do not recognize.

We shall see. If I were Ascendo, I would not be looking in my rear view mirror any time soon.
