Canton Introduces Three-in-one Sound Bar LCR Loudspeaker System

September 3, 2008 -- Canton, Germany's largest and best selling manufacturer of loudspeakers, has introduced the Sound Bar CD 90 SB, an attractive loudspeaker system that comprises three individually isolated two-way speakers that share a single enclosure designed for horizontal mounting above or below a flat-screen TV.

The CD 90 SB joins Canton's popular CD family of compact, high-performance extruded aluminum speakers that are available in silver or black finish. The Sound Bar's configuration of three speakers in one chassis delivers the same home theater soundstage that would normally be produced by separate left, right and center speakers but with greatly simplified installation, and an aesthetic sensibility that perfectly matches today's flat panel video displays.

"We expect the Sound Bar to be an important addition to the Canton line-up," said Paul Madsen, President of Canton USA. "It delivers excellent sound reproduction in an attractive, low-profile housing that is a perfect complement to flat panel displays. It is a perfect match for our popular CD family of speakers, making it simple to expand the system to accommodate any size system and theater environment."

Each of the Canton CD 90 SB's three channels consists of a 1/2-inch aluminum dome tweeter, 3-inch aluminum woofer, and a 3.9-kHz crossover network in an acoustically isolated segment of the enclosure. All three channels employ advance driver, circuitry, and cabinet engineering to deliver a frequency response of 80 Hz to 25 kHz. A sophisticated passive filter circuit blocks unwanted low-frequency signals that can generate harmonic distortions.

Like all the Canton CD speakers, the CD 90 SB is magnetically shielded. It is 39.9 inches long, 3-1/2 inches high, just under 4-inches in depth, and it includes wall-mounting brackets. Like all Canton CD-series speakers, it is finished in striking silver or black brushed aluminum with perforated metal grills. It can be matched with any of Canton's AS line of active subwoofers and compact CD 10 speakers for a complete surround home theater system.

The Canton CD 90 SB LCR speaker system will be available from Canton dealers in September with a suggested retail price of $650.
