Canton Introduces Movie CD-1 5.1 Speaker System

2-Apr-03

Canton has introduced the Movie CD-1, a 5.1-channel speaker system that delivers the dynamics and excitement of home theatre in small, compact satellite speakers. The package consists of four identical aluminum ""microspeakers,"" a matched horizontal center channel model, and a small subwoofer.The Movie CD-1 satellites boast a frequency response of 80 Hz to 25 kHz from a speaker that measures just over 5 inches tall, and under 4 inches deep and wide. Among the advances that allow for this capability are a new, proprietary 3-inch aluminum woofer, high-integrity aluminum housing, a 3.6 kHz crossover network, and a passive filter circuit which blocks unwanted low-frequency signals that can generate harmonic distortions.The CD-1 center channel incorporates the same technologies and drivers as the satellites, but features a two-woofer, single-tweeter horizontal arrangement. The tapered housing allows for tilting of the speaker, and the horizontal driver array is said to improve linearity across the soundstage. The CD-1 center channel features the same aluminum housing and perforated metal grille as the satellites.The CD-1 subwoofer benefits from Canton's SC Technology. The active SC electronic filter is integrated into the 100-watt onboard amplifier circuit, and computer-designed to adjust the response curve to compensate for the acoustic characteristics of the housing and driver. This both blocks unwanted infrasonic signals, which can cause distortion from excessive driver excursion, and improves the speaker's output response curve across the frequency range. The CD-1 sub is rated to deliver bass down to 38 Hz and up to 140 Hz. Adjustable crossover frequency, level control, and switchable phase adjustment are included.The Canton Movie CD-1 satellites and center channel are finished in aluminum, and the CD-1 subwoofer is finished in a matching Silver Matte decor. The CD-1 includes mounting brackets for all the satellite speakers. The optional LS-90 speakers stands are available for $125 per pair. The Movie CD-1 home theatre system is currently available at a suggested retail price of $1,099.For more information about Canton products, visit www.cantonusa.com.
