From the ceiling it reaches the listening position and creates the plane that Atmos soundtracks build above you. A 154 mm ATB driver and a 25 mm aluminium dome share the work. Supplied as a pair in white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Canton AR 4 S2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the finest Atmos demo is useless if you're not allowed to drill into the ceiling. That's exactly what the AR 4 S2 is for: it sits on top of the front speakers or on the wall, connects to the height channel of the AV receiver, and otherwise just needs a decent ceiling. The sealed enclosure keeps it deliberately lean in the bass – height effects should sit lightly above you, not compete with the front for low end. In white it virtually disappears against a light ceiling or wall, which only helps the illusion: what you don't see, you also localise less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair of Dolby Atmos height speakers, tuned to the GLE-S2 family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esealed 2-way enclosure, designed for ceiling reflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1× 154 mm ATB mid-woofer, 1× 25 mm aluminium Black tweeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efrequency response 50–40,000 Hz, sensitivity 86 dB, impedance 4–8 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enominal\/music power handling 60 \/ 100 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efor placing on existing speakers or wall mounting (prepared)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecompact dimensions 17 × 14.5 × 26 cm at 3 kg per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efeet and magnetic fabric covers included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Canton AR 4 S2 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: ideal for anyone who wants to upgrade an existing home cinema to Dolby Atmos without renovation work – a rental flat, a freshly finished room, or simply no interest in cable runs in the ceiling. What you need for it is a flat, smooth ceiling: with sloped ceilings, wooden beams, or ceiling heights beyond three metres, a good part of the effect fizzles out, and built-in ceiling speakers are the more honest route. The AR 4 S2 isn't intended for stereo music or as a main speaker – it's a specialist, not an all-rounder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small speaker with a clearly defined job that it does without fuss. The AR 4 S2 turns a good 5.1 setup into a convincing 5.1.2 – no drill, no tradesman's visit, no discussion at home. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we check your ceiling and seating position beforehand and tell you honestly whether the reflection principle works for you, or whether your budget would achieve more elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data – Canton AR 4 S2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dolby Atmos speaker (height\/effects channel), GLE-S2 family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic principle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-way, sealed enclosure, designed for ceiling reflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMid-woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× 154 mm Aluminium Titan Black (ATB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× 25 mm aluminium Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50–40,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,200 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity (2.83 V\/1 m):\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal power handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMusic power handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 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\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e set on top of existing speakers or wall-mount (prepared)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e white satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 × 14.5 × 26 cm (lying down)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 kg per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSales unit:\u003c\/strong\u003e pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2× AR 4 S2 in white, feet, oval fabric covers, instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the offer include two speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, you receive a complete pair of AR 4 S2 in white – the two front height channels. Feet, oval fabric covers, and the manual are included. If you're planning a 5.1.4 setup with four height channels, you'll need two pairs – we'll tell you what actually makes sense in your room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes an Atmos speaker different from a normal speaker?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt doesn't play towards you, but towards the ceiling. The reflected sound reaches you from above and creates a height plane that classic channels can't produce. That's why the enclosure is flat, sealed, and deliberately restrained in the low end – effects should float, not push.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat electronics do I need for the AR 4 S2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn AV receiver or a pre\/power amp combination with a Dolby Atmos decoder and at least two free height channels. The AR 4 S2 is passive and has no amplifier of its own. At 86 dB sensitivity and 4 to 8 ohms, it makes no special demands on your device's power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I mount the AR 4 S2 on the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, Canton has prepared it for wall mounting. What matters is that the sound reaches the ceiling unobstructed and comes back to the listening position from there. We're happy to help you choose height and angle, since that's exactly what decides how convincing the height plane turns out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Canton AR 4 S2 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Atmos stands or falls with the planning, not the brochure. We look at ceiling, seating, and existing system before anything is ordered, and sometimes advise against it. On top of that come delivery, installation on request, calibration, and a dedicated technician you can still reach afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSensible additions are a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/center-lautsprecher\"\u003ecentre speaker\u003c\/a\u003e, a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/subwoofer\"\u003esubwoofer\u003c\/a\u003e, and enough \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/lautsprecherkabel\"\u003espeaker cable\u003c\/a\u003e.
