Description
The Canton Reference 5 Speakers are a medium-sized 3-way bass reflex floor-standing pair designed to deliver high-end sound for music and home theater applications. Equipped with Black Ceramic Tungsten (BCT) drivers and a 370-watt music load capacity, these speakers provide dynamic, precise, and distortion-free audio reproduction.
Measuring 30 x 102 x 46 cm and weighing 36 kilograms each, the Reference 5 offers a harmonious balance of compact design and impressive acoustic power. Magnetic acoustically neutral fabric covers and WBT-nextgen terminals ensure optimal signal transfer and convenience.
Crafted in Germany with first-class materials, these speakers combine long-lasting reliability, visual elegance, and exceptional performance. The Reference 5 provides vivid stage imaging, lively sound, and high-resolution playback, making it a perfect choice for both stereo and home theater systems.
Modern Technology
The Reference 5 speakers incorporate the latest advancements in loudspeaker engineering to deliver exceptional sound quality. The new enclosures feature round baffles produced on a specialized 5-axis CNC milling machine, ensuring perfect precision and stability. Elaborately curved side panels, tops, and bases significantly reduce unwanted resonance, supporting authentic sound reproduction.
Two 174 mm BCT woofers with Black Ceramic Tungsten cones work in perfect harmony with the large enclosure volume and the advanced bass guide system, providing tight, precise low frequencies and deep, powerful bass. A 174 mm BCT midrange driver housed in its own enclosure reproduces clear and natural mids, while the 25 mm tweeter with black aluminum oxide ceramic cone ensures detailed and smooth highs, producing a perfectly balanced and immersive soundstage.
Advanced Diaphragms
The Reference 5’s midrange and woofer systems are built with advanced BCT diaphragms that convert 25 percent of aluminum into ceramic and refine it with tungsten and additional metal particles. This process results in an ideal stiffness-to-weight ratio and blackened surfaces for superior acoustic properties. The specially shaped black midrange ceramic cone utilizes TCC technology to stabilize the membrane and minimize unwanted resonances.
These innovations allow the drivers to deliver precise, distortion-free reproduction across all frequencies. To further enhance performance, the Reference 5 incorporates Canton’s latest Wave Beading technology, which ensures smooth transient response even at high volumes and large driver excursions. The result is a lively, natural, and highly detailed sound that remains accurate at any listening level.
Connectivity and Room Optimization
The Canton Reference 5 speakers feature high-quality WBT nextgen connectors for single, bi-wiring, or bi-amping operation. The low-mass terminals minimize eddy currents and provide optimal signal transmission for a superior sound image. Included copper bridges allow easy single-wiring configuration when needed.
Additionally, the Reference 5 incorporates Canton's RC Room Compensation technology, allowing fine-tuning of the midrange and tweeter levels in 1.5-decibel increments. This enables precise adjustment of the speakers to the room acoustics and personal listening preferences.
Whether used for music or home theater, these features allow the Reference 5 to adapt seamlessly to different environments, ensuring consistent, high-fidelity performance and maintaining the integrity of the original recordings.
Elegant Appearance
The Canton Reference 5 cabinets combine meticulous craftsmanship with luxurious finishes for seamless integration into modern living spaces. The black piano high-gloss version features twelve layers of lacquer, creating an impressive depth effect and visual sophistication. Alternatively, the white silk-matte finish provides an understated elegance that complements refined interiors.
The sweeping enclosure shape and edge-free design not only contribute to the visual appeal but also support optimal sound dispersion and cabinet stability. Each speaker is handcrafted with attention to detail, ensuring exceptional quality and durability. The combination of high-end materials, precise engineering, and elegant design makes the Reference 5 both an acoustic and aesthetic statement, enhancing the listening experience while fitting naturally into a premium home environment.
