{"product_id":"cantoncd250-3bl","title":"Canton CD 250.3 Center Speaker, Black (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\u003eThe CD in the name stands for Custom Design, Canton's flat wall series – nothing gets played back here, the CD 250.3 is a passive speaker connected to an AV receiver. Black anodized, 43 cm wide and only 10 cm deep, it fits into the TV wall without pushing itself into the foreground. Wall mount and stand are included – the center you hear but barely see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Canton CD 250.3?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the aluminum housing, a 110 mm aluminum woofer, a 110 mm aluminum midrange driver and a 25 mm aluminum tweeter dome work together. The 2½-way layout with crossover points at 400 and 3,500 Hz is exactly why voices stay present and clean here – in quiet dialogue as much as in the middle of an action scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe center is the most important speaker in home cinema: most of the film's soundtrack runs through it. It decides whether you understand every word or keep reaching for the remote to adjust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat aluminum housing, black 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: The CD 250.3 is made for anyone building a slim, unobtrusive home cinema and valuing intelligible speech. It harmonizes best with the other speakers in the CD series, so the sound picture matches all around. Anyone who listens purely in stereo, on the other hand, doesn't need a center at all – this speaker only shows its strength in a multi-channel setup. As a soloist in the living room, it would simply be in the wrong place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thoroughly solid, unobtrusive center for space-conscious home cinemas – unspectacular in the best sense, and that's exactly what you want for the dialogue channel. A note from us in Wädenswil: Canton now keeps the CD series in its archive, at HD Zürisee remaining stock goes out while supplies last. We're happy to work out with you which front and rear speakers 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, black 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\u003eIs the Canton CD 250.3 a CD player?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. At Canton, CD stands for Custom Design, the flat speaker series for wall and furniture. The CD 250.3 is a passive center speaker for home cinema and is connected via speaker cable to an AV receiver or a multi-channel power amp. It doesn't play discs itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do I need a center speaker for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe center reproduces the dialogue in home cinema and anchors voices firmly in the middle of the picture. It's the most-demanded channel in a film. A good center therefore makes the biggest difference to speech intelligibility – more than any additional effects speaker in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow tall is the Canton CD 250.3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe housing measures 43 cm wide, 14 cm high and 10 cm deep. This lets the center fit under most TVs or on a sideboard. Wall mount and stand are included, so you can also mount it above the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Canton CD 250.3 match other speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt harmonizes best with the Canton CD series, because tonal character and tuning then match. In principle, it can be integrated as a center into any multi-channel setup. What matters is that the front speakers go in the same tonal direction – we're happy to help you with that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Canton CD 250.3 sold individually?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the CD 250.3 is a single speaker and is sold as such – as is usual for centers, since you need exactly one in a multi-channel setup. Wall mount and stand are included, you generally don't need extra mounting material. Only the speaker cable is added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Canton CD 250.3 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a center is only as good as its tuning to the rest of the set. We advise you from experience, combine matching front and rear speakers, and set up your home cinema at your home on request – service included, through our own technician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matching \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/heimkino-lautsprecher\"\u003ehome cinema speakers\u003c\/a\u003e for the surround set, a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/subwoofer\"\u003esubwoofer\u003c\/a\u003e for the bass foundation, an \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/vollverstarker\"\u003eamplifier\u003c\/a\u003e or AV receiver as the centerpiece and decent \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/lautsprecherkabel\"\u003espeaker cable\u003c\/a\u003e.
