As the new flagship of the iconic Canton Reference series, it embodies the highest high-end sound quality, technical brilliance and uncompromising attention to detail. Sound Quality at the Highest Level The BCT cones used for the first time in the Reference series can also be found in the new Reference Alpha. The new midrange system has been coated with an additional diamond coating. This gives the chassis even more rigidity and precision - for a neutral, dynamic and lifelike sound. This is complemented by the Wave surround 3.0 technology, which, thanks to its three surround bends, guarantees even vibration and symmetrical power distribution even at high volumes. Harmony of Design and Craftsmanship The curved side panels, made of multi-layered wood, offer exceptional stability and minimize resonance. Refined with the high-quality mix of materials, they blend harmoniously into the overall concept. The acoustically optimized curves prevent edge reflections and give the speaker its impressive its imposing yet timeless appearance. The Reference Alpha impresses with an enclosure that perfectly combines sound and design. In order to control the enormous forces inside the Reference Alpha loudspeakers, the internal construction has been enormously reinforced by a special cabinet design. The careful selection of the front shape, additional anti-parallel reflector units with precisely defined damping made of special fleece, prevents standing waves inside the cabinet. Diamond Midrange + Tweeter System A special highlight is the extremely elaborate diamond coating of the ultra-modern midrange system. It ensures maximum stability and reduces sound coloration. Voices and instruments are reproduced with the utmost precision and naturalness. Technically, the midrange system is based on the innovative BCT cones, which impress with their unique material composition. The new midrange system also has a triple-curved cone that ensures optimum rigidity. The Reference Alpha series tweeter system impresses with its DCC dome tweeter, which has a special diamond coating. This ensures exceptional rigidity and optimizes the vibration behaviour. In combination with the asymmetrical waveguide and the new computer-simulated grille design, the dispersion characteristics are optimized, especially in the crossover and high frequency range above 15,000 Hz. The result: crystal-clear highs, in which the finest details and nuances of the music become audible. Additional Features Room Compensation Thanks to innovative room compensation technology with integrated tweeter, midrange and bass adjustments, the levels of the new Reference Alpha can be adapted to the room acoustics and individual listening tastes. Optimal Signal Separation Thanks to Displacement Control Technology, uncontrolled excursion of the woofers is avoided, effectively minimizing distortion and making optimum use of the bandwidth. High-End Internal Cabling Only the CantoLink 600 K cables specially manufactured for Canton are used. These are characterized by their high-quality construction, which includes a special core and six precisely twisted individual conductors. This construction ensures optimum sound transmission - from the connection terminal to the chassis, so that sound nuances can be reproduced without distortion. Form, Function and Performance The solid wooden cabinet with its elegant real wood veneer not only offers stability, but also an uncompromising design. The interplay of the powerful and high-quality Reference Alpha components results in precise, detailed sound that meets even the highest demands.
