Canton Smart A45 CS

The Canton Smart A45 CS is an active Smart Wireless center speaker for home theater systems from the Canton Smart series.

It provides the central reproduction of voices in the system and integrates wirelessly into expandable smart setups.

The integrated sound optimization and remote control operation help adapt TV, movie, and music sound to usage and the room.

What makes the Smart A45 Center special

• Smart Wireless technology: The speaker can be integrated wirelessly into a Canton Smart system, thus reducing the cabling required in the home theater.
• Centered voice reproduction: Speech and dialogue have a clear place at the front of the home theater.
• Active 3-way bass reflex principle with 350 watts of system power: The amplifier is integrated into the speaker, so no separate power amplifier needs to be planned for this channel.
• Digital sound optimization: Menu functions such as Voice, Equalizer, Dynamic Range Control, and LipSync support adaptation to the room, listening position, and TV playback.
• Flexibly expandable: The system can be expanded with Smart speakers and a subwoofer.

The role of the center in the smart home theater

As a center speaker, the Canton Smart A45 CS is designed particularly for the reproduction of voices in home theaters.

This is especially important for movies, series, and TV sound, because dialogues are intended to come from the center of the image in a multi-channel setup.

Using Wireless Speaker Pairing, the speaker can be assigned to a suitable channel in the Smart system.

Sound optimization and speech intelligibility

The integrated menu area offers several functions that allow you to adapt the reproduction to your system and the room.

The Voice function is designed for better speech reproduction in stereo and surround sound.

The equalizer is used to adapt to spatial conditions, while Dynamic Range Control sets the dynamic range.

For TV applications, the LipSync function is also relevant when the image and sound are to be perfectly synchronized.

Operation and configuration

Control is carried out directly via remote control and through the integrated menu.

There, among other things, listening distances per speaker, maximum system volume, input labels, and presets for sound settings can be managed.

The IR learning function enables control with a TV or system remote control.

Expansion in the Canton Smart system

The Canton Smart A45 CS is prepared for the expansion of a Smart home theater.

Additional Smart speakers and a subwoofer can be integrated wirelessly, allowing a system to be built up to a 5.1 set.

Mixed operation with wired and wireless components is possible in the Canton Smart system if the selected system configuration provides for it.

Placement, design, and finish

With its dimensions of 60 x 20 x 35 cm, the Canton Smart A45 CS is designed as a center speaker for placement in the front area of a home theater system.

The fabric cover is attached magnetically and can therefore sit on the speaker without visible mechanical mounting.
