Advanced Technology

At the heart of the Canton Reference Subwoofer is a 308 mm BCT driver paired with a passive diaphragm positioned beneath the cabinet. This configuration provides dynamic performance with precise control and minimal distortion. The Black Ceramic Tungsten diaphragm achieves an optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio, ensuring responsiveness and detail across all frequencies.

The latest generation of triple-folded wave surrounds allows for greater cone excursion and significantly improved bass precision. The subwoofer’s 750-watt amplifier delivers ample power reserves, while the DSP-based control system maintains perfect balance across varying sound levels.

Tuned to play frequencies as low as 18 Hertz, the Reference Subwoofer reproduces the deepest notes effortlessly, adding a true sense of realism and immersion to every listening session.

The Canton Reference Subwoofer offers a wide range of configuration options for personalized sound tuning. High- and low-level inputs enable flexible integration with stereo amplifiers or AV receivers. On the rear control panel, you can precisely adjust the volume, crossover frequency, and phase settings to match your system and room acoustics.

Additionally, the built-in room compensation feature allows the subwoofer to be adapted in three selectable stages for optimal sound balance. An automatic power-on and standby function ensures efficient operation and convenience. Every detail of this active subwoofer is designed to deliver reliable, high-performance bass that perfectly complements the precision and clarity of Canton’s Reference loudspeakers.

Elegant Design and Craftsmanship

The Canton Reference Subwoofer is a masterpiece of German engineering and craftsmanship. Its enclosure, finished in a luxurious Black Piano lacquer or optional White Satin, undergoes multiple layers of polishing to achieve a deep, mirror-like shine.
