For a full
Bass foundation

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.

Compact
Cube shape

The subwoofers in the classic cube design have powerful output stages with high- and low-level inputs and, despite their compact dimensions, provide a stable and powerful low-frequency foundation in a living-room-friendly design.

PATENTED
WAVE-SURROUND

The multi-curved wave surround used in our subwoofers allows for much greater excursion and reduces sound distortion.

BASSREFLEX
PRINCIPLE

The majority of Canton subwoofers work according to the bass reflex principle. Selected models are refined with a downfire passive radiator instead of a bass reflex tube - for the most precise bass with the lowest distortion.

Subwoofer FAQ

Subwoofers – The Foundation for Powerful Bass in Your Home Theater

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'll learn all about subwoofers and how to find the best subwoofer for your needs.

What Are Subwoofers?

Definition and Functionality of Subwoofers

A subwoofer, often referred to as a bass box, is a speaker 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 subwoofers require an external subwoofer amplifier.

Difference Between Active and Passive Subwoofers

Hi-Fi active subwoofers offer the advantage of an integrated amplifier, which simplifies installation and optimizes sound quality. Passive subwoofers, on the other hand, require an external amplifier.

Applications of Subwoofers

Versatile Applications

Home Theater:
An active home theater subwoofer provides deep, impressive bass that brings movies and music to life.

Music Systems and Stereo Systems:
A Hi-Fi subwoofer significantly improves the sound quality of your music system or stereo system.

Large and Small Rooms:
There are small subwoofers for smaller rooms and subwoofers for larger rooms. For larger rooms, 12-inch subwoofers or 10-inch subwoofers are recommended, while 8-inch subwoofers are ideal for smaller rooms.

Integration into Existing Audio Systems:
Subwoofers can be easily integrated into existing audio systems, whether as downfire subwoofers or frontfire subwoofers.

What to Consider When Buying Subwoofers

Sound Preferences and Listening Habits

Consider your sound preferences and listening habits. Do you want a wireless subwoofer for more flexibility or a subwoofer to avoid cable clutter? A subwoofer test can help you find the best subwoofer for your needs.

Room Size and Acoustics

The size and acoustics of the room are crucial. For smaller rooms, 8-inch subwoofers are ideal, while larger rooms benefit from a 12-inch subwoofer. A flat subwoofer can be discreetly placed in the room, even as a subwoofer in a cabinet or on a cabinet.

Budget and Price-Performance Ratio

Set a budget and compare different models in terms of their price-performance ratio. The best subwoofers are those that meet your requirements and are also affordable.

Tips for Optimal Installation and Setup

Positioning and Distance from Walls

The correct positioning of the subwoofer is crucial for sound quality. A downfire subwoofer should not be placed directly against a wall to avoid resonances. A subwoofer speaker should be positioned to optimally distribute sound throughout the room.

Connection to AV Receivers and Amplifiers

Ensure that your subwoofer is correctly connected to your AV receiver or amplifier. An active subwoofer has an integrated amplifier, while a passive subwoofer requires an external subwoofer amplifier.

Cable Management and Integration into Existing Systems

Clean cabling and integration into your existing system ensure a tidy appearance and prevent signal loss.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning and Maintenance of the Surface

Regular cleaning of the speaker cabinets ensures an appealing appearance and prevents dust buildup that can affect sound quality.

Regular Maintenance and Inspection of Connections

Regularly check the connections and cables to ensure everything is functioning properly.
