CANTON REFERENCE 1

Iconic Sound. Exceptional Precision.

The Canton Reference 1 is a high-end floorstanding loudspeaker that combines advanced acoustic engineering, premium materials, and meticulous craftsmanship. Designed for discerning music enthusiasts, it delivers powerful dynamics, precise detail, and an immersive listening experience.

Advanced BCT Driver Technology

The Reference 1 features Canton’s Black Ceramic Tungsten (BCT) diaphragms in its midrange and bass drivers. Developed for high rigidity and accurate sound reproduction, this technology helps deliver dynamic performance with exceptional clarity and control.

Powerful and Deep Bass

Three 219 mm BCT woofers work with Canton’s integrated Bass Guide system to reproduce deep, controlled low frequencies. With a frequency response extending down to 18 Hz, the Reference 1 is engineered to deliver a powerful foundation for both music and home theater applications.

Clear Midrange and Detailed High Frequencies

A 174 mm BCT midrange driver works alongside a 25 mm Black Ceramic tweeter to reproduce vocals, instruments, and high-frequency details with precision. Special asymmetric waveguide rings help optimise sound dispersion for a well-defined listening experience.

Precision-Engineered Cabinet

The Reference 1 features a distinctive curved cabinet constructed from multilayer laminate, complemented by a solid 60 mm front baffle and extensive internal reinforcement. This carefully engineered structure helps minimise unwanted cabinet resonance while supporting accurate and dynamic sound reproduction.

Premium Connectivity and Room Adjustment

WBT speaker terminals provide a high-quality connection, while integrated level adjustment allows the tonal balance to be tailored to the listening environment. The speaker also supports bi-wiring and bi-amping for flexible system integration.

Combining powerful performance, refined design, and German engineering, the Canton Reference 1 is an exceptional choice for a high-end audio system.
