Bi-wiring/biamping
The top of the range Canton speakers are equipped with a bi-wiring/biamping connector panel. This connection method allows the upper midtone range and high frequency range to be controlled separately through two amplifiers (biamping) or through separate cables through one amplifier (bi-wiring) as preferred.

Treble chassis
The treble chassis is primarily responsible for the tone and sharpness of reproduction. In canton speakers the Treble chassis is always a cup system, i.e. a system with a dome-shaped loudspeaker membrane driven by a speech coil.

Midtone chassis
The midtone chassis reproduces the musically most important ranges of the voice. In its high-grade Karat and Ergo Series speakers Canton uses rapid impulse and warp-resistant aluminium membranes to achieve optimum output.

Bass chassis
It is the bass chassis of a loudspeaker that actually has to perform the hardest work. Powerful magnets, stable, die-cast cradles, high-capacity polypropylene speech coils and membranes are crucial to sound quality and bass precision.

Coax chassis
In addition to the usual two and three-way loudspeakers, Canton also uses coaxial technology loudspeaker systems, for example with small satellite speakers. The tweeter rests on a bridge centred in front of the woofer (midtone loudspeaker). These systems very closely approach the ideal of a crater shaped sound source.

Diplexer
The diplexer is a component in the loudspeaker that splits the audio frequency into sub-areas. The individual areas are then relayed by the specialist, individual loudspeakers (high frequency, midtone, treble).
