Canton CD 290.3: Minimalistic speakers that pack a punch

The Canton CD series differs from the usual “classics” with its smooth curves of aluminum housing. These acoustic systems will perfectly fit into a minimalist interior. They will also be appropriate in a child’s room, because it is much more difficult for mischievous robbers to spoil strong metal housings, moreover, covered with protective grilles.

The aluminum housings of the speakers are extremely rigid, the smooth curves of the walls are a way to get rid of standing waves, and several midrange/low-frequency loudspeakers exceed the standard speakers in classic speakers in total area. It was with their help that it was possible to endow the CD series with such a deep bass. By the way, small diffusers are also notable for the fact that they are light, and therefore “fast”, and this is very important when reproducing dynamic scenes, where the speed of sound transmission in the lower register is important. The third generation Canton CD series includes three models: compact CD 220.3 bookshelf speakers, CD 250.3 center channel speaker and CD 290.3 floor-standing tower speakers.

It is worth noting that all the company’s products are manufactured in Germany. This approach guarantees the highest quality, provided by qualified employees. Innovative design, improved materials and the latest technical developments have made Canton an international leader in the production of acoustic systems. Canton acoustic systems are recognized worldwide for their exceptional sound.

Famous acoustic solutions and technologies are implemented in a relatively affordable price category. Aluminum is used as a material for LF and MF speakers. This material gives the speakers high rigidity, which, in combination with the low mass of the moving system, gives a smooth, clear and excellent sound. In addition, the HF speaker is placed in a round horn of small depth, to increase the efficiency of its operation, and align the directional pattern. The overall picture is complemented by reliable terminals with gold-plated screw terminals.

Canton CD 290.3 is a 2.5-way floor-standing bass-reflex acoustic system. With elegant, slender lines, the system of this series has a good technical base. The loudspeakers impress with their power and clarity from the first bass to the highest pitches. The system is equipped with a metal grill as a front cover and protection against multiple switching. The CD series speakers are available in matte black and silver or in white piano lacquer.
