For the impressive sound image, they use the BCT cones, the technically latest components in the mid- and low-frequency range. High-quality crossover components in the filter network, such as generously dimensioned air coils, low-loss metal oxide resistors and film capacitors, enable perfect interaction between the four speaker drivers. All drivers are clamped in triple folded wave surrounds, which allow enormous excursions and can thus generate intense dynamics. The two 192 mm woofers can fully develop in the ideal cabinet volume and deliver deep, powerful bass up to 20 Hertz with the support of the bass guide. The 174 mm midrange driver, with its broadband action in the frequency range from 180 Hertz to 3,000 Hertz, which is important for localization, provides a desired point source dispersion. The trio is rounded off by the precise 25 mm tweeter with black membrane made of aluminum oxide ceramic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweeping Cabinet Design for Superior Acoustics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 109-centimeter-high Reference 3 are powerful speakers in elegantly shaped cabinets. Their curved side panels, gently sloping curved tops and round baffles create a flowing, harmonious design that skillfully conceals the large cabinet volumes. The newly designed base is not only a stable foundation for the speaker - it also forms the bass guide, which selectively radiates low-frequency tones to the front and back of the room in equal parts. Thanks to the newly developed asymmetrical cover rings, the four loudspeaker drivers sit flush with the surface and without visible screw connections in the baffle. In addition, the cover rings act as waveguides, optimizing sound dispersion in the midrange and treble range. Four individual, acoustically transparent and form-fitting fabric covers nestle against the baffle with magnetic adhesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElegant Appearance with Premium Finishes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe develop and manufacture the Reference loudspeakers in our factory in Weilrod in the Taunus region. The Reference 3 cabinets, which are made of high-quality multi-layer laminate, are extremely stable and undergo extensive surface finishing. Twelve layers of lacquer are required for the high-gloss black version with \"piano finish\" alone. Layer by layer, the cabinets are lacquered, sanded and finally polished. The result is a flawless high-gloss piano lacquer with an overwhelming depth effect. Equally impressive are the alternatively available finishes in white satin, which perfectly set off our Reference 3 in combination with the matte black diaphragms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect Contact with WBT Binding Posts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reference 3's high-end binding posts come from established German manufacturer WBT. The low-mass WBT nextgen binding posts enable single, bi-wiring and bi-amping operation. The lower mass of the binding posts reduces eddy currents and ensures a superior sound image. If you do not want to use the bi-wiring or bi-amping mode, high-quality hard-gold-plated copper bridges are included. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCanton Reference 3 Speakers Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcoustic principle: 3-way Bass reflex system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinciple passive resonator: Bass reflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadiation direction resonator: Downfire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTweeter quantity: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTweeter size: 25 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTweeter material: Aluminum ceramic oxyd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidrange driver quantity: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidrange driver size: 174 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidrange driver material: Black ceramic tungsten (Wave surround)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoofer quantity: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewoofer size: 219 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewoofer material: Black ceramic tungsten\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal load capacity: 300 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusic load capacity: 500 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransmission range: 20...40.000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedance: 4...8 ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLevel adjustment: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Canton","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":52739911516426,"sku":"CANTON-2420","price":12799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":52739911549194,"sku":"CANTON-2421","price":12799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/canton-reference-3-floorstanding-speakers--48922-1-p_66755453-e2d9-4bf9-8e18-ad7f785d611f.webp?v=1773933696","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/cant-ref3-b","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
