Canton Pro XL.3 Outdoor Compact Speaker, White (Pair)

The Canton Pro XL.3 is a universal indoor and outdoor compact speaker with a moisture-protected housing that you can either place freely or mount on a wall or ceiling using the included bracket.

In white satin, it blends in well with bright façades, white pergolas or Mediterranean-style patios. Technically closely related to the Plus XL.3, but with a housing that shrugs off moisture and temperature swings far more calmly.

Why the Canton Pro XL.3?

Because music shouldn't have to stop at the patio door, yet a regular living-room speaker quickly gives up the ghost outdoors. A 130 mm aluminium woofer and a 25 mm aluminium-manganese tweeter sit in a long-term stable, moisture-protected housing – built exactly for this job.

What you hear

A balanced, mature sound that doesn't thin out outdoors either – plenty for a garden party, pool or patio, though not meant for audiophile demands. Indoors, in moisture-prone rooms like a bathroom or conservatory, it also cuts a good figure.

Who is the Canton Pro XL.3 for?

For anyone who wants music where a regular speaker would quickly give up – balcony, garden, poolside. Bottom line: it's not made for permanent frost exposure in winter, and if you only ever listen in a dry living room, you can happily go for the cheaper Plus XL.3.

Our verdict

The Pro XL.3 sounds like a "real" speaker, not a weather radio – and in white it's especially unobtrusive next to bright façades. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we plan with you how many speakers your patio actually needs.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Canton Pro XL.3 survive the whole winter outdoors?

The housing is moisture-protected and built to last, so it's made for rain and moisture. For permanent frost or unprotected weather exposure, we still recommend seasonal removal or a well-sheltered mounting spot.

What's the difference between the Pro XL.3 and the Plus XL.3?

The drivers are identical; the difference is in the housing: the Pro XL.3 is designed for outdoor and damp-room use, while the Plus XL.3 stays reserved for dry indoor spaces.

Can I also use the Pro XL.3 indoors?

Yes, without any problem, for example in a bathroom or conservatory. The moisture protection doesn't hurt in a dry living room, but it doesn't add anything to the sound there either.

Which amplifier suits the Pro XL.3?

An outdoor-rated or multiroom amplifier with weatherproof wiring, assuming an output impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. We're happy to work out with you what makes sense for your patio.

Why buy the Canton Pro XL.3 from HD Zürisee?

Because outdoor sound needs more planning than just ordering two speakers – cable routing, amplifier placement, weather protection. Our specialist team in Wädenswil thinks it through with you. Give us a call or drop us a line.
