Canton has expanded their popular new CD line of
aluminum-body loudspeakers with the introduction of the CD 100 tower, the
vertically or horizontally oriented CD 50, and the compact CD 10
mini-satellite. Building on the success of the company's recently introduced
Movie CD 1 home theater speaker system, the new models feature the same
striking silver aluminum styling and advanced driver and crossover design to
deliver stereo and home theater audio reproduction that perfectly balances
form and function.
Unlike many mini-satellite speakers, the Canton CD-10 employs engineering
and design advances in driver, circuitry, and cabinet design to deliver a
frequency response of 80 Hz to 25 kHz from a speaker that measures just over
5-inches tall, and under 4-inches deep and wide. Among the advances that
allow this feat are a new, proprietary 3-inch aluminum woofer,
high-integrity aluminum housing, a 3.9 kHz crossover network, and a
sophisticated passive filter circuit which blocks unwanted low-frequency
signals that can generate harmonic distortions. The CD 10 has a suggested
retail price of $125 per speaker.
The CD 50 and CD 100 speakers each incorporate the same drivers as the CD
10, but with a total of four of the 3-inch mid/bass drivers flanking a
single tweeter, one pair on either side. Canton engineers have designed an
unusual "two-and-one-half-way" crossover circuit to prevent the problematic
mid-bass cancellations that hinder performance in typical multi-woofer
speakers. With this circuitry, one pair of drivers handles both bass and
midrange frequencies, while the other pair is responsible only for bass
reproduction.
Like all the CD speakers, the CD 50 is magnetically shielded, and can be
mounted horizontally for use as a center channel, or vertically as a stereo
or surround speaker. The CD 100 is intended for use as a vertical 'tower',
and stands nearly 40 inches tall atop a weighted aluminum baseplate for
stability. Thanks to its larger, ported cabinet, it boasts an extended low
bass response. The CD 50 and CD 100 have suggested retail prices of $300 and
$500 each, respectively.
The Canton CD-series speakers are finished in striking aluminum with
perforated silver metal grills, and may be matched with any of Canton's AS
line of active subwoofers for a complete home theater or satellite-subwoofer
system.
Canton is the largest manufacturer and best-selling brand of loudspeakers in
Germany. It was founded in 1973 by a group of audio enthusiasts who defined
their mission "to always develop the finest loudspeakers in their class."
