Description
The high-quality AV receiver Smart Connect 5.1 serves as a flexibly configurable interface and connection hub for active speakers, power amplifiers, and your Canton Smart speakers. It lays the foundation for impressive sound experiences with lossless, high-resolution transmission of up to 24 bit / 96 kHz. This allows for a combination of 6 active speakers or power amplifiers and up to 8 Smart speakers. The multidimensional virtualizer ensures stunning 3D surround sound – even with only 2 connected speakers. The powerful DSP enables high-end stereo sound and impressive multi-channel sound. With the Smart Connect 5.1, the variations are versatile and unique: stereo or multi-channel, wired or wireless, the flexible combination of both worlds up to a 7.1.4 setup, as well as SingleRoom and Multiroom streaming – everything is possible.
3D Sound Upgrade for your amplifier.The Smart Connect 5.1 makes it possible to integrate your existing stereo amplifier into your Wi-Fi network. As a 3D Audio DAC, it delivers virtual surround sound to your existing stereo setup. The powerful DSP and Virtualizer thus enable 3D room sound from all sides – and that with only two connected speakers in a stereo arrangement. In addition, the Smart Connect 5.1 can be connected via HDMI eARC to your TV and combined with other Smart speakers to form a home cinema setup. This way, you can easily turn your existing stereo amplifier into a home cinema amplifier.
Control center for home cinema sound and picture.Thanks to its four HDMI connections, including eARC and HDCP2.2, the Smart Connect 5.1 brings the razor-sharp picture of your TV to life with captivating, room-filling sound. The Smart Connect 5.1 supports Dolby Atmos®, DTS HD and the video format HDR (High Dynamic Range) as multi-channel audio formats. Via the on-screen display on your TV, you can easily set up the system and perfectly adjust it to your needs and sound preferences. In addition to its direct connection to the TV, the Smart Connect 5.1 also functions as a control center for various sources: from CD players, game consoles, Blu-ray players, classic radio receivers to music streaming via smartphones. The freely configurable inputs and outputs ensure flexible connection options for your active speakers, power amplifiers, or playback devices.
Easy operation - also via voice commandIn addition to manual operation via app, you can also start playback, pause, adjust volume, or operate an entire Canton Smart System by voice. Although our Smart Connect 5.1 does not have built-in microphones, this multi-talent offers the highest possible compatibility when it comes to voice control. There are two ways to operate the Smart Connect 5.1 by voice: Use the voice assistants Siri or Google Assistant on your smartphone or an external Apple or Google device of your choice. This way, you can play your favorite music either by pressing a button or by voice in any desired room.
