Description

The Canton Carat M 80 DC is a 3-way floorstanding hi-fi speaker designed for discerning audiophiles seeking dynamic performance and tonal fidelity. What are the advantages of a speaker with DC technology? Canton's Direct Coupling technology ensures optimal coupling between amplifier and speaker, minimizing signal losses and improving transducer control for superior impulse response.

The 3-way bass reflex configuration integrates a 260mm cellulose/graphite woofer for deep, controlled bass down to 22Hz, two 160mm aluminum-manganese alloy midrange drivers for crystal-clear midrange, and a 25mm aluminum-manganese alloy tweeter for high-end extension up to 30.000Hz. How to connect bi-wired speakers for better performance? The gold-plated bi-wiring/biamping connection panel allows advanced configurations to separate the amplification of the different ways, optimizing transparency and channel separation.

With an efficiency of 88 dB and an impedance of 4 Ohms, these hi-fi floorstanding speakers are ideally paired with amplifiers of at least 50-100W to fully express their dynamics and detail. The solid 25,7 kg construction reduces unwanted vibrations, while the elegant design available in black ash, cherry, beech, or silver complements any listening environment. Perfect for reference stereo systems dedicated to critical listening of music from classic jazz to symphonic music.
