{"product_id":"cantoncd250-3si","title":"Canton CD 250.3 Center Speaker, Silver (Single)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Canton CD 250.3 is a flat 2½-way center speaker made of aluminum that takes over dialogue in home cinema and finds room under or above the TV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor clarification: at Canton, CD is short for Custom Design and denotes the flat wall series – it has nothing to do with a CD player. In silver anodized aluminum, the 43 cm wide center looks light and technical at the same time, matching devices in an aluminum look. With 10 cm of build depth it barely stands out, wall mount and stand are included. In short: a speaker that stands out without imposing itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Canton CD 250.3?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree drivers share the work: a 110 mm aluminum woofer, a 110 mm aluminum midrange driver and a 25 mm aluminum tweeter dome. The 2½-way design crosses over at 400 and 3,500 Hz – so the second woofer only supports the lower range, while voice reproduction is left to a single driver. That's exactly what keeps dialogue clear and free of coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd since most of the sound in a film runs through the center, this speaker decides whether you listen relaxed or keep having to readjust. An underrated channel – until you take it seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat aluminum housing, silver anodized, 43 × 14 × 10 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2½-way closed: 110 mm woofer + 110 mm midrange + 25 mm tweeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response 45–30,000 Hz, efficiency 87 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower handling 70 W (nominal) \/ 130 W (music)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWall mount and stand included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable grille front cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTonally matched to the Canton CD series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Canton CD 250.3 suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: For anyone who wants a slim home cinema where you understand every word – without a bulky box under the TV. Paired with the other models in the CD series, you get the most cohesive sound picture. Anyone who listens purely in stereo, on the other hand, needs no center at all and invests the budget better in the front speakers. The CD 250.3 only shows what it can do in a multi-channel setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolidly built, honestly tuned, pleasantly unobtrusive – exactly the right qualities for the dialogue channel. For your info from Wädenswil: Canton now keeps the CD series in its archive, HD Zürisee is clearing the remaining stock while it lasts. We're happy to discuss with you which front and rear speakers really suit it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Center speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Canton CD (Custom Design)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic principle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2½-way closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePassive radiator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bass reflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× 110 mm aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMidrange driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× 110 mm aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× 25 mm aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45–30,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequencies:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 \/ 3,500 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEfficiency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 87 dB (2.83 V \/ 1 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal\/music power handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 W \/ 130 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–8 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection terminal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speaker cable clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum housing, silver anodized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grille, removable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall mounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prepared, mount included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 43.0 × 14.0 × 10.0 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer's warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD 250.3, wall mount, stand, instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes CD on the Canton CD 250.3 mean it plays discs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. At Canton, the designation CD stands for Custom Design and refers to the series' flat construction. The CD 250.3 is a passive center speaker that gets its signal from the AV receiver. There's no transport, disc tray, or playback function included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does a dedicated center speaker do for home cinema?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt handles the dialogue and anchors voices exactly where the picture is. Most of the film's soundtrack runs through the center, so it has a correspondingly strong effect on speech intelligibility – much stronger than an additional effects channel on the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the Canton CD 250.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e43 cm wide, 14 cm high, 10 cm deep, weighing 3.5 kg. That lets it fit under most TVs or on a sideboard. Stand and wall mount are part of the delivery, so you can place it or mount it above the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Canton CD 250.3 be combined with other brands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically yes, tonally with some care. It's most coherent within the Canton CD series, since tuning and tonal character are then identical. In mixed setups, the front speakers should at least be similarly tuned – we'll tell you honestly what fits and what you'd better avoid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I get the Canton CD 250.3 individually?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the center is sold individually – after all, you need exactly one in a multi-channel setup. Wall mount, stand and manual are included. Apart from a suitable speaker cable, you don't need to get anything else. For the complete set, combine it with front and rear speakers from the same series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Canton CD 250.3 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we know from many home cinema installations what matters for the dialogue channel: placement, height, distance, level matching.
