{"product_id":"canton-am-5-aktiv-regallautsprecher-schwarz-stuck","title":"Canton AM 5 Active Bookshelf Speaker, Black (Each)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Canton AM 5 is an active 2-way compact speaker with a closed cabinet and 100 watts of amplifier power, designed as a nearfield monitor for studio, home recording, gaming and multimedia use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike Canton's passive bookshelf speakers, the AM 5 needs no external amplifier – the electronics already sit inside the cabinet. Just plug in RCA or XLR and it's ready to play, whether at a desk, in a small recording space or as a compact TV speaker. In black satin, it stays discreetly in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Canton AM 5?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause not every second listening spot can handle a full amplifier plus wiring – sometimes a speaker that simply works as soon as you connect power and a signal is enough. A 115 mm aluminium woofer and a 25 mm aluminium dome sit in a closed cabinet, rounded off with balanced XLR and RCA inputs plus a three-band tone control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA controlled, clean sound with surprising level headroom for its size – up to 97 dB maximum output without becoming unpleasant. For nearfield monitoring, PC audio or as a compact addition to a TV, the AM 5 delivers more definition than you'd expect from a 14 cm cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Canton AM 5 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who needs a compact, active speaker without a separate amplifier – at a desk, in a home recording setup or as an extra TV speaker. Bottom line: it's too small for large rooms or booming party bass, and if you're looking for a wireless Bluetooth solution, you'll only find classic wired connections here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AM 5 is the pragmatic route to serious sound without an extra amplifier unit on the shelf. Not the loudest, but an honest, controlled compact speaker for close-range listening. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we'll show you whether a pair is the right solution for your desk or small studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Active compact speaker, 2-way bass reflex, closed cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× 115 mm aluminium woofer\/midrange, 1× 25 mm aluminium tweeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50–38,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum output level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 97 dB SPL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× RCA, 1× balanced XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput level:\u003c\/strong\u003e fixed (active speaker, no volume control of its own for downstream devices)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone output:\u003c\/strong\u003e not available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTone controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e bass, mid, treble, each ±6 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e free-standing or wall mount (Cantomount XL bracket optional, not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e black satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 × 24 × 16 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSales unit:\u003c\/strong\u003e piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× AM 5, power cable, decoupling feet, instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a separate amplifier for the Canton AM 5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the 100-watt amplifier already sits inside the cabinet. You just connect a signal source via RCA or XLR and plug the AM 5 into the mains, and you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Canton AM 5 have its own volume control?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the output level is fixed; you control volume at the connected source (for example an audio interface, mixer or preamp with its own level control). The AM 5 has no headphone output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I mount the AM 5 on a wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with the optional Canton Cantomount XL bracket, which is not included. Out of the box, the AM 5 is primarily intended for free-standing use on a desk, shelf or stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the AM 5 work as a stereo pair for music?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor close-range listening at a desk or in a small room, absolutely; for filling a large living room, it's too small. Two units make a fully-fledged active stereo pair without a separate amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Canton AM 5 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we'll tell you whether an active compact speaker like the AM 5 really is the simpler solution for your space, or whether a classic passive setup pays off more in the end.
