REFERENCE ALPHA 2

Iconic Sound. Refined Engineering.

The Canton Reference Alpha 2 brings together advanced acoustic engineering, premium materials, and sophisticated craftsmanship in a high-end floorstanding loudspeaker. Developed as the more compact counterpart to the Reference Alpha 1, it carries forward the Reference Alpha series’ commitment to precision, dynamics, and lifelike sound reproduction.

Diamond-Coated Midrange Technology

At the heart of the Reference Alpha 2 is a 174 mm midrange driver based on Canton’s Black Ceramic Tungsten (BCT) technology and enhanced with an additional diamond coating. This advanced diaphragm construction is designed to increase rigidity and minimise unwanted sound coloration, helping reproduce vocals and instruments with remarkable clarity and naturalness.

DLC Diamond Tweeter

The 25 mm DLC diamond-coated dome tweeter works in conjunction with an asymmetrical waveguide to optimise high-frequency dispersion. The result is a detailed and well-defined presentation that brings out subtle musical nuances while contributing to a spacious and precise stereo image.

Powerful Bass and Controlled Dynamics

Four 192 mm BCT woofers form the foundation of the Reference Alpha 2’s low-frequency performance. Combined with Canton’s Wave Surround technology and downfire bass-reflex design, the system is engineered to deliver powerful, controlled bass and dynamic musical reproduction.

Precision-Engineered Cabinet

The Reference Alpha 2 features a reinforced multilayer wooden cabinet with elegant curved side panels. Its construction is designed to minimise unwanted resonance and internal standing waves, supporting accurate sound reproduction while maintaining a refined, timeless appearance.

Available in Midnight Blue or Warm Grey with walnut detailing, the Reference Alpha 2 combines premium finishes with distinctive German design.

Premium Components and Flexible Integration

High-quality Mundorf crossover components, CantoLink 600 internal cabling, and WBT-nextgen™ speaker terminals reflect the attention to detail throughout the design. Support for single-wiring, bi-wiring, and bi-amping provides flexibility when integrating the loudspeaker into a high-end audio system.

The integrated Room Compensation function allows bass, midrange, and treble levels to be adjusted in 1.5 dB increments, helping users fine-tune the tonal balance to suit their listening environment.

German High-End Audio Craftsmanship

With its advanced driver technologies, carefully engineered cabinet, and elegant proportions, the Canton Reference Alpha 2 offers an exceptional combination of acoustic precision and sophisticated design. Created for discerning music enthusiasts, it represents Canton’s pursuit of detailed, dynamic, and lifelike sound reproduction.
