To meet any of your wishes for an extension of your stereo or multi-channel system, we offer a large number of different subwoofers. From small to large, in cube design or flat construction - you are guaranteed to find a suitable model here. The majority of active subwoofers from Canton work according to the bass reflex principle, quite classically with bass reflex channels or with passive membranes in a downfire arrangement. In order to guarantee precise mechanical performance, the subwoofers are equipped with generously dimensioned oscillating systems and surrounds that allow for large excursions and thus enormously dynamic performance. The top models feature the latest generation of wave surround technology and downfire passive radiators. The result: deep bass with maximum precision and minimum distortion.

Subwoofers – The Foundation for Powerful Bass in Your Home Cinema
Subwoofers are essential components for any audio enthusiast who desires deeper and richer bass reproduction. Whether in a home theater or a hi-fi system, a good subwoofer significantly enhances the listening experience. In this article, you will learn everything about subwoofers and how to find the best one for your needs.
What Are Subwoofers?
Definition and Functionality of Subwoofers
A subwoofer, often referred to as a bass box, is a loudspeaker specifically designed for reproducing low frequencies. These frequencies are responsible for bass and make the audio experience more complete and dynamic. Subwoofers can be active or passive. Active subwoofers have a built-in amplifier, while passive ones require an external subwoofer amplifier.
Difference Between Active and Passive Subwoofers
Active hi-fi subwoofers offer the advantage of an integrated amplifier, making installation easier and optimizing sound quality. Passive subwoofers, on the other hand, require an external amplifier.

What to Consider When Buying a Subwoofer?
Sound Preferences and Listening Habits
Take your listening habits into account. Do you prefer a wireless subwoofer for more flexibility and less cable clutter? Reading subwoofer reviews can help you find the best subwoofer for your needs.
Room Size and Acoustics
Room size and acoustics are crucial. Smaller rooms are best suited for 8-inch subwoofers, while larger spaces benefit from 12-inch models. A slim subwoofer can be placed discreetly in the room – even inside a cabinet or on top of one.
Budget and Value for Money
Set yourself a budget and compare different models in terms of price-performance ratio. The best subwoofers are those that meet your requirements while remaining affordable.
Tips for Optimal Installation and Placement
Positioning and Distance From Walls
Proper placement of the subwoofer is essential for great sound. A down-firing subwoofer should not be positioned directly against a wall to avoid unwanted resonance. Place your subwoofer in a spot that distributes sound evenly throughout the room.
Connection to AV Receivers and Amplifiers
Ensure your subwoofer is properly connected to your AV receiver or amplifier. With active subwoofers, the amplifier is integrated, while passive ones require an external subwoofer amplifier.
Cable Management and Integration Into Existing Systems
Clean cabling and proper integration into your existing system not only provide a tidy look but also prevent signal loss.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning and Surface Care
Regular cleaning of the speaker cabinets keeps them looking attractive and prevents dust buildup, which could negatively affect sound quality.
Regular Maintenance and Checking Connections
Regularly check the connections and cables to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
