{"product_id":"cantonventoar1wh","title":"Canton Vento AR 1 Atmos Speaker, White (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Canton Vento AR 1 is a passive Dolby Atmos height module from the Vento series 2026, run as an add-on on top of a speaker or on the wall, that creates the height layer via the ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilky matte white is the variant for bright rooms, where a black block on top of the front speaker stands out more than the effect it produces. Inside the sealed enclosure sit a 25 mm Black Ceramic tweeter behind the Transmission Front Plate and a 154 mm mid-woofer with an ATB cone. A wall mount is integrated, and equipment feet and magnetic fabric covers are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Canton Vento AR 1?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause without height channels, Dolby Atmos is just a logo on the remote. The AR 1 delivers this layer without any structural work: set it up, connect it, calibrate it. It uses the same tweeter technology as the rest of the Vento models, so tonally the height layer doesn't stand out. And in white, it almost disappears against a bright wall, which in living rooms typically saves half the discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA layer above the actual soundstage that you mainly notice when it's missing. Rain, aircraft, reverb tails, and atmospheres detach from the front speakers and hang above you in the room. Because the enclosure is sealed, the attack stays dry and precise rather than mushy. Music in Atmos mixes also gains noticeably in air and height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Canton Vento AR 1 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: for anyone with an Atmos-capable AV receiver or AV pre-amp, free height channels, and a flat, smooth ceiling at normal living-room height. This solution doesn't suit sloped ceilings, open galleries, very high ceilings, or large suspended acoustic ceilings, since the reflection doesn't come back cleanly there. In such rooms we recommend in-ceiling speakers, even though that means more work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small module with a big effect, provided the room plays along. If you already run Vento speakers, this extends your set without any break in tonal character, and the effort is limited to two cables and a calibration run. Talk to us first: the team at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil looks at ceiling height, seating position, and receiver, and tells you whether two or four height channels are the right answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dolby Atmos height speaker, add-on and wall module, passive (Vento series 2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic principle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-way, sealed enclosure, upward-firing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMid-woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× 154 mm ATB (Aluminium Titanium Black)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× 25 mm BC dome (Black Ceramic) with Transmission Front Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50–30,000 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\u003eEfficiency (2.83 V\/1 m):\u003c\/strong\u003e 84.5 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal\/music power handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 \/ 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\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-wiring, gold-plated terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add-on on top of a floorstanding or bookshelf speaker, or wall mounting via integrated wall bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDolby Atmos licensed:\u003c\/strong\u003e yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silky matte white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.5 × 27 × 14.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 kg each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2× Vento AR 1 in silky matte white, equipment feet, magnetic fabric covers, instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Vento AR 1 sold as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this listing includes two height speakers in silky matte white. That covers two Atmos height channels, as required by a 5.1.2 or 7.1.2 configuration. Equipment feet, magnetic fabric covers, and the instruction manual come with both speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's better, add-on modules or in-ceiling speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat depends on your ceiling. Add-on modules like the AR 1 need no construction work and work very well with flat, acoustically hard ceilings. In-ceiling speakers are more precise and independent of the ceiling's surface, but require drilling and cable runs. We'll help you work out what fits your room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow high can the ceiling be for the AR 1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDolby recommends ceiling heights of roughly 2.3 to 3.5 meters for upward-firing speakers. Below that, the reflection becomes too direct; above it, too weak and diffuse. It's also important to have a smooth, undamped surface above the speakers, so no acoustic panels in that spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the AR 1 also fit speakers from other series?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasically yes, as long as the floorstander has a flat, sufficiently large top surface. The included equipment feet decouple the module from it. Visually and tonally, the combination stays most coherent within the Vento series, since the tweeter and finishes are identical there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Canton Vento AR 1 in white at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we don't just deliver, we plan the system.
