Сабвуферы — Canton SUB 300

The SUB 300 belongs to the Online Exclusive line in the catalogue of Canton, the loudspeaker maker from Weilrod in Germany. It carries a German price of EUR 385 per piece. Canton also bundles it with C 309 floorstanders into ready-made 5.1 and 5.1.2 home cinema packages, and it is listed in black and in white decor. Canton describes the enclosure as a classic cube with dimensions chosen to suit a living room.

Key specs that matter

One 308 mm woofer is paired with one passive membrane mounted on the underside of the enclosure. The driver cone is made of titanium. The electronics are specified at 200 W nominal and 380 W music power. The stated response covers 20 to 200 Hz, and the upper limit of the sub can be set anywhere from 50 Hz to 200 Hz. Outside dimensions are 36 x 47.2 x 51.1 cm, and the net weight is 23 kg, rising to 28 kg in its 57 x 62 x 49.5 cm carton. Standby power is 0.5 W.

Engineering and use context

Canton builds the SUB 300 as a bass reflex design whose resonator is the downfiring passive radiator rather than an open tube, a layout the company says extends low-frequency reach and overall output. The drive unit uses a latest-generation multi-fold wave surround that allows more stroke with less distortion than a common half-roll surround. Instead of cloth, the front is covered by a powder-coated black steel grille that protects the cone. A room compensation switch is included so that the bass can be adapted to the position the subwoofer ends up in. Level and crossover are adjustable, and an auto on and standby circuit reacts to the input signal. The cabinet stands on height-adjustable feet that are prepared for spikes, and absorbers can be fitted as an alternative.

Pairing

Line-level connection uses two cinch inputs, suitable for the sub pre-out of a multichannel receiver, and a cinch output is also on the panel. Two high-level inputs accept loudspeaker cable with banana plugs from amplifiers that offer no dedicated subwoofer jack. On the product page Canton offers the C 302 and C 309 from its C Series as direct add-ons. The box contains the subwoofer, steel grille, power cable and manual, and Canton gives two years of warranty.

Alternatives

The Canton SUB 500 R uses the same cube format with a titanium driver of the same size and a 750 W music-rated amplifier.
