{"product_id":"cantonsoundmbl","title":"Canton Sound M Soundbar, Black (Each)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Canton Sound M is a compact active 2.1 soundbar with virtual surround that packs 300 watts, Dolby Audio and DTS decoders, and a full HDMI connection panel into a 6.5 cm flat housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 72.5 cm wide, it stays within the frame even under smaller TVs – and because it brings three of its own HDMI inputs, it also takes on the job many TVs fail at: keeping the cable clutter under control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Canton Sound M?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it has the connection panel of a full-blown system. Alongside the HDMI output with ARC for the TV, three HDMI inputs (HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2, 4K, 3D) stand ready for Blu-ray player, console and streaming box, plus an optical and a coaxial digital input, an analogue RCA input and a sub-out. Inside the HDF housing with polished glass top, four 50 mm aluminium woofers, two 19 mm fabric tweeters and two passive radiators do the work. Dolby Audio and DTS decoders process the film soundtrack, LipSync keeps picture and sound in step, and an on-screen display shows the settings right on the TV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive 2.1 soundbar with 300 watts system power and virtual surround\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour 50 mm aluminium woofers, two 19 mm fabric tweeters, two passive radiators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1× HDMI output with ARC plus 3× HDMI input with 4K pass-through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical, coaxial, analogue RCA and sub-out for a separate subwoofer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDolby Audio and DTS decoders, LipSync, on-screen display, three EQ presets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth 5.0 with aptX for music from your phone – no subscription, no account\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWirelessly expandable later with Canton Smart speakers and Smart Sub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Canton Sound M for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants cinema-grade sound without turning the living room into a speaker showroom – and who values a genuine HDMI connection panel. Straight talk: a soundbar doesn't replace five individually placed speakers with true all-round sound, that's physics, not marketing. And if you want to stream over Wi-Fi, AirPlay or multiroom, this isn't for you: the Sound M connects exclusively via Bluetooth. If what you're after is connection variety and a small footprint, though, there's barely anything this clever in this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProbably the most versatile mini soundbar in the range: a tiny housing, a big connection panel, and expandable into a multi-channel setup later. If you need HDMI inputs and clean film sound without sacrificing space, this is spot on. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we check in advance whether the Sound M fits under your TV – with low-set feet, that comes down to a matter of centimetres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the trade press says:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Punchy, natural sound with rich bass\" and \"Good speech intelligibility, effortless setup\" – LowBeats, test from 28 September 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e active 2.1 soundbar with virtual surround\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic principle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-way bass reflex with passive radiators (front-firing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4× 50 mm aluminium woofers, 2× 19 mm fabric tweeters, 2× passive radiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 41–23,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× output with ARC (no eARC), 3× input (HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2, 4K, 3D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× optical, 1× coaxial, 1× analogue RCA, 1× sub-out (RCA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecoders:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dolby Audio, DTS Digital Surround\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.0 with easy pairing (SBC, AAC, aptX)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork streaming:\u003c\/strong\u003e not available (no Wi-Fi, no AirPlay, no Chromecast, no multiroom)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpandable:\u003c\/strong\u003e wirelessly with Canton Smart speakers and Smart Sub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFurther features:\u003c\/strong\u003e on-screen display, LipSync, equalizer with three presets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e HDF, polished glass top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e black satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 72.5 × 6.5 × 10 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sound M, power cable, remote control, HDMI cable, optical digital cable, quick guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Canton Sound M stream over Wi-Fi?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Music reaches the bar via Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX; it has no Wi-Fi module with AirPlay, Chromecast or multiroom. If you need network streaming, we'll show you the right alternatives from our range – no subscriptions required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect several devices at the same time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Using the three HDMI inputs you can hook up a Blu-ray player, console and streaming box directly to the bar and pass the picture through to the TV via HDMI ARC. That keeps the back of the TV tidy and saves you a switch box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Sound M support 4K video?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The HDMI inputs are 4K-capable (HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2) and pass the picture through to the TV unchanged. The bar only handles the sound; the video signal stays untouched. It doesn't decode Dolby Atmos, though.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Sound M be expanded into a surround system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it belongs to the Canton Smart System and can be wirelessly expanded with Smart speakers into a multi-channel set. For more low-end there's also the sub-out, which lets you connect any active subwoofer via RCA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Canton Sound M at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you honestly what the little bar can do and where its limits lie – such as the missing network streaming.
