6 Canton Life Pure Music. For more than 30 years the name Canton has been synonymous with the best in loudspeaker sound. During this time, we have been moving ever closer to our ideal of pure music - most recently with our Vento Series, which has a sound as natural and light as the wind. State of the art technology, exceptional design and the finest craftsmanship are fundamental to the Vento Series and create a stunning experience. What Vento demonstrates at the highest level, is recognised by our customers in all of our products: decades of experience, intensive research and development, our own production plants and the highest standards in quality control have enabled us to create loudspeakers which are simply the best in their class just as our founders intended back in 1972.

7 Although the Canton design process scrutinises every little loudspeaker detail and involves considerable measuring, simulation and optimisation processes, we never lose sight of the wider picture. And even when we are considering room acoustics or the durability of our materials, we always keep one thing in mind - our speakers being used in the living environments of our customers. That s where all the details have to fit perfectly together if a product is to carry the Canton name. Canton offers solutions to meet any requirements. Whether you want to use a multi-channel system or listen in classic stereo, we have exactly the right loudspeaker for you. Welcome to Canton Life. 4 5

8 Canton Style Live in style. At Canton we believe that loudspeakers should be adapted to you and your home. Therefore, we produce series with varying designs to match the most diverse range of interiors and furnishings. In this Canton magazine, we will introduce you to them. The slimline box design and aluminium surfaces of the CD Series (shown above), are especially well suited to bright, linear surroundings. As with all Canton loudspeakers, technology and sound are never sacrificed for external appearances. The success of the CD Series provided the impetus to embrace new developments and launch new CD models, creating a perfect range of music and home cinema solutions.

9 New additions to the CD Series include the medium sized 200 Series models as well as the CD 3200 active and CD 3500 wireless floorstanding loudspeakers with integrated amplifiers. The latter is connected via a digital radio signal. Imagine, for the first time, high quality multi-room music and home theater completely wireless! As you will discover in this magazine, a lot of Canton technology has made history; the proverbial durability and resilience of our loudspeakers as well as the beautiful forms and finishes of our cabinets. We believe that real beauty lies within - but there s no reason why the external appearance shouldn t go with it. Welcome to Canton Style. 6 7

11 The Vento tweeter system with its aluminium-manganese dome can reproduce frequencies up to 40,000 Hz. The specially designed transmission front plate helps to broaden the angle of dispersion for better coverage across the listening environment. Thanks to its aluminium cone and unique, multi-curved wave surround, the Vento midrange speaker produces very low distortion even at very high output levels. V E N T O S e r i e s Perfect in form and sound. The design is inspired by nature. The cabinets in the Vento Series, with their acoustic enhancing curvature, are reminiscent of classical musical instruments. Their outstanding sound reproduction qualities open up new dimensions in sound for pure musical enjoyment. The Vento loudspeaker Series is a combination of perfect craftsmanship, top quality materials and state-of-the-art speaker technology. V E N T O S e r i e s 8 9

54 Canton Technology DC technology DC technology ( Displacement Control ), developed by Canton prevents the uncontrolled deflection of the bass loudspeaker membrane at low tones. It suppresses the subsonic (i.e. not audible) oscillations and allows the bass tones to sound perceptibly sharper and more precise. SC technology Canton s in-house SC technology defines redefines the relationship between speaker volume and bass reproduction using individual filter switches and extends the speakers transmission range by an octave and more downwards and this with unbelievable level consistency. Transmission Front Plate By using computers to optimise the shape of the tweeter s front plate, Canton is significantly improving tweeter performance. The transmission front plate optimises the tweeter s effectiveness in the midrange/tweeter crossover region, producing lower distortion and giving the speaker a more linear frequency response. Wave surround The suspension system attached to the cone of a woofer or midrange is called the surround. The shape and material of the surround affect the systems overall performance. Canton s precise computer modelling allows for optimization of all properties of the surround, greatly improving performance. Our unique multi-curved wave shape reduces resonance and increases excursion capabilities for better frequency response and higher output levels with lower levels of distortion. The surround is made of Butyl rubber for flexibility and longevity. Loudspeaker components Bi-wiring/biamping The top of the range Canton speakers are equipped with a bi-wiring/biamping connector panel. This connection method allows the upper midtone range and high frequency range to be controlled separately through two amplifiers (biamping) or through separate cables through one amplifier (bi-wiring) as preferred. Treble chassis The treble chassis is primarily responsible for the tone and sharpness of reproduction. In canton speakers the Treble chassis is always a cup system, i.e. a system with a dome-shaped loudspeaker membrane driven by a speech coil. Midtone chassis The midtone chassis reproduces the musically most important ranges of the voice. In its high-grade Karat and Ergo Series speakers Canton uses rapid impulse and warp-resistant aluminium me mbranes to achieve optimum output. Bass chassis It is the bass chassis of a loudspeaker that actually has to perform the hardest work. Powerful magnets, stable, die-cast cradles, high-capacity polypropylene speech coils and membranes are crucial to sound quality and bass precision. Coax chassis In addition to the usual two and threeway loudspeakers, Canton also uses coaxial technology loudspeaker systems, for example with small satellite speakers. The tweeter rests on a bridge centred in front of the woofer (midtone loudspeaker). These systems very closely approach the ideal of a crater shaped sound source. Crossover The crossover is a component in the loudspeaker that splits the audio frequency into sub-areas. The individual areas are then relayed by the specialist, individual loudspeakers (high frequency, midtone, treble). ICEpower digital amplification Subwoofer power amplifiers should be capable of delivering high output levels. With conventional amplifiers, maximum output is restricted by mechanical size and heat emissions. The largest Canton subwoofers use ICEpower digital amplifiers, which can deliver high performance and high output levels thanks to their state-of-the-art, reliable, digital circuitry. These special digital amplifiers are extremely efficient compared to conventional designs and generate almost no heat. Home cinema units Front loudspeakers Both the front loudspeakers project the left and right sound channel and form the basis of cinema sound. All Canton Hi-fi speakers can be used as front Loudspeakers as they reproduce the full frequency spectrum in rich detail and dynamically. Centre speaker As an addition to the front loudspeakers the centre speaker forms an independent central channel that is specifically responsible for speech reproduction. As the centre speaker is near to the television set, all Canton models have magnetic shielding to avoid colour defects or distortion. Surround speakers The surround boxes are responsible for the sound depth. They are located to the rear of the auditory area. To produce top-quality effects they should be tuned to the other equipment components. Active subwoofer For deep tones home cinema units are supported by an active subwoofer. Canton s active subwoofers can be tuned to the stereo loudspeakers and to the size of the room to suit personal listening taste. Glossary Impedance The impedance is the electrical resistance that a loudspeaker represents for the amplifier. In accordance with the standard this nominal impedance may not be more than 20 percent below the transmission range at any point. Nominal/musical power loading The nominal power loading is the maximum output with which a loudspeaker can be loaded without being damaged. The musical power loading, however, is the value to which a loudspeaker is subjected for a short time. Nominal/Musical output The nominal output is the output that a power amplifier can deliver over a long period without being damaged. The musical output is the peak value that a power amplifier can deliver for a short period. Sound pressure level (SPL) The sound pressure level is the relationship between electrical power input and radiated acoustic output of a loudspeaker. A measurement is taken, for example, of the operational output required to produce a set acoustic pressure at a distance of 1 metre from the speaker. To look at it the other way the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) gives the acoustic pressure that the speaker produces at a distance of 1 metre with an electrical power input of 1W. Transmission range The transmission range is the frequency range within which within which the loudspeaker within the limits of set tolerances reproduces identical sounds identically in corresponding circumstances. Frequency response The frequency response identifies the frequencies at which reproduction passes from one chassis to the next with multi-path speaker units. General technology DVD-Video DVD-Video is a DVD that is played through video signals (Digital Versatile Disc). As a further development of the CD-ROM the DVD has a much higher storage capacity and processing speed. DVD-Audio DVD-Audio is a new music format that uses the high storage capacity of the DVD to play music recordings at the highest quality on six channels. The advantage of the DVD-Audio is primarily in its improved sound quality. There are also functions such as playing music videos and song texts or interpreter s notes that a CD cannot offer. The CD-A can record up to 400 minutes of sound in CD quality (44.1 khz/16 bit) and up to 74 minutes of top quality 6-channel surround sound at 96 khz/24 bit. In 2-channel mode the DVD-A increases the limit of scanning rate to 192 khz. This gives a tremendous dynamic range of 144 db as opposed to the CD s 98 db. Super Audio CD (SACD) Like the DVD-Audio the SACD (Super Audio CD) offers the highest level of music reproduction. The SACD was actually developed for music and, unlike the DVD, not for video as well. As opposed to a standard CD it provides a natural, high-quality sound. It differs to the CD in the way in which the digital information is captured on the disc. Thanks to a sampling rate of 2.8 MHz (CD: 44.1 khz) the sound data is scanned more faithfully and precisely. The SACD s frequency curve does not end until 100 khz (CD: 20 khz) and its maximum dynamic is 120 db (CD: 96 db). As opposed to the DVD-Audio SACDs can also be played on standard CD players - but only at CD quality, of course. This is possible through the SACD s double layered construction: each disc has one layer with the SACD information and a layer that is played with the slightly worse CD information. Every SACD player can, of course, also play standard CDs. Dolby Digital In this further development of Dolby Surround Prologic the sound channels are digitally recorded. Compared to Dolby Surround Prologic two separate FX channels and a subwoofer channel improve the spatial experience. Dolby ProLogic II To be able to play videos at higher sound quality, Dolby Prologic II was developed by the Dolby Labs. It represents the successor to Dolby Surround Prologic. The analogue multi-channel standard has improved Matrix-Surround Technology that provides more realistic surround sound and a better directional effect with Dolby Surround and stereo recordings. DTS Digital Theatre Sound (DTS) is a further 5.1 surround format that was developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. However, the number of DVD films with DTS sound is still very limited, whereas Dolby Digital is much more widespread in Europe. This is primarily because the committee for establishing sound formats (DVD Forum) had already decided on Dolby Digital as the standard format when Digital Theatre Systems announced that it was also going to make its format available for DVD. Compared to Dolby Digital, DTS has very little data compression, which has an advantageous effect on the sound but also requires a great deal of storage space.
