Modern technology
The compact Reference 9 loudspeakers have a 174 mm BCT membrane per speaker, which offers high rigidity and outstanding internal damping despite its low weight. The BCT membrane enables precise and accurate reproduction of the bass and midrange. The perfect partner for the bass-midrange speaker is the 25 mm BC tweeter, which shines with its detailed and transparent reproduction and impressively underlines the excellent sound quality of the Reference 9. The precisely designed crossover, which is equipped with hand-picked components, plays a large part in the excellent sound of the loudspeaker. The Reference 9 is equipped with WBT nextgen™ connection terminals, which enable a contact-safe and loss-free connection between the loudspeakers and the amplifier. The connection terminal is equipped with our RC technology, which allows sensitive adjustment of the treble in 1.5 decibel steps. By adjusting the level, the compact loudspeakers can be adapted to listening preferences or have a corrective effect on the existing room acoustics.

design
Canton develops and manufactures the Reference loudspeaker systems in their factory in Weilrod in the Taunus. In order to achieve the best possible sound development from compact housings, they have completely redesigned the housings of the Reference 9. They are provided with generous radii on the side walls, bases and lids and have a round baffle to achieve the greatest possible edge freedom of the housing. This design concept reduces diffraction effects at the edges and contributes significantly to optimizing the sound radiation of the loudspeaker. A computer-optimized chamber system and the sophisticated internal stiffening prevent standing waves and sound-damaging housing resonances.
