Bass foundation
To meet any of your wishes for an extension of your stereo or multi-channel system, we offer a large number of different subwoofers. From small to large, in cube design or flat construction - you are guaranteed to find a suitable model here. The majority of active subwoofers from Canton work according to the bass reflex principle, quite classically with bass reflex channels or with passive membranes in a downfire arrangement. In order to guarantee precise mechanical performance, the subwoofers are equipped with generously dimensioned oscillating systems and surrounds that allow for large excursions and thus enormously dynamic performance. The top models feature the latest generation of wave surround technology and downfire passive radiators. The result: deep bass with maximum precision and minimum distortion.

The subwoofers in the classic cube design have powerful output stages with high- and low-level inputs and, despite their compact dimensions, provide a stable and powerful low-frequency foundation in a living-room-friendly design.

Subwoofers – The Foundation for Powerful Bass in Your Home Theater
Subwoofers are essential components for any audio enthusiast who desires deeper and richer bass reproduction. Whether in a home theater or a Hi-Fi system, a good subwoofer significantly enhances the listening experience. In this article, you'll learn all about subwoofers and how to find the best subwoofer for your needs.
What Are Subwoofers?
Definition and Functionality of Subwoofers
A subwoofer, often referred to as a bass box, is a speaker specifically designed for reproducing low frequencies. These frequencies are responsible for bass and make the audio experience more complete and dynamic. Subwoofers can be active or passive. Active subwoofers have a built-in amplifier, while passive subwoofers require an external subwoofer amplifier.
Difference Between Active and Passive Subwoofers
Hi-Fi active subwoofers offer the advantage of an integrated amplifier, which simplifies installation and optimizes sound quality. Passive subwoofers, on the other hand, require an external amplifier.

What to Consider When Buying Subwoofers
Sound Preferences and Listening Habits
Consider your sound preferences and listening habits. Do you want a wireless subwoofer for more flexibility or a subwoofer to avoid cable clutter? A subwoofer test can help you find the best subwoofer for your needs.
Room Size and Acoustics
The size and acoustics of the room are crucial. For smaller rooms, 8-inch subwoofers are ideal, while larger rooms benefit from a 12-inch subwoofer. A flat subwoofer can be discreetly placed in the room, even as a subwoofer in a cabinet or on a cabinet.
Budget and Price-Performance Ratio
Set a budget and compare different models in terms of their price-performance ratio. The best subwoofers are those that meet your requirements and are also affordable.
Tips for Optimal Installation and Setup
Positioning and Distance from Walls
The correct positioning of the subwoofer is crucial for sound quality. A downfire subwoofer should not be placed directly against a wall to avoid resonances. A subwoofer speaker should be positioned to optimally distribute sound throughout the room.
Connection to AV Receivers and Amplifiers
Ensure that your subwoofer is correctly connected to your AV receiver or amplifier. An active subwoofer has an integrated amplifier, while a passive subwoofer requires an external subwoofer amplifier.
Cable Management and Integration into Existing Systems
Clean cabling and integration into your existing system ensure a tidy appearance and prevent signal loss.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning and Maintenance of the Surface
Regular cleaning of the speaker cabinets ensures an appealing appearance and prevents dust buildup that can affect sound quality.
