The new Reference Alpha models are equipped with a tweeter with a diamond dome, and diamond coating is also used in the construction of the mid-range driver diaphragm, which has made it slightly thinner and more durable. Just like in the limited edition Canton Reference GS, the low-frequency drivers feature the signature BCT (Black Ceramic Tungsten) diaphragms. According to the developers, the crossover has been optimized and the internal wiring has been replaced. The positioning of the stiffness ribs inside the enclosure has also been modified, allowing for an increase in the useful internal volume.
Features:
- Wave surround 3.0 technology, with three suspension bends ensuring uniform vibration and symmetrical power distribution even at high volumes
- Crossovers are equipped with high-precision components of a high class from Mundorf, providing precise signal separation and optimal sound quality
- Only CantoLink 600 K cables specially made for Canton by the well-known German manufacturer in-akustik are used
Innovative technologies and high-quality materials make the Reference Alpha another milestone. The BCT diaphragms, first used in the Reference series, can also be found in the new Reference Alpha. An additional diamond coating has been applied to the new mid-range system. This gives the enclosure even greater stiffness and precision for neutral, dynamic, and realistic sound. All of this is complemented by the Wave surround 3.0 technology, ensuring uniform vibration and symmetrical power distribution even at high volumes due to three suspension bends. Perfectly matched components ensure controlled operation and maximum sound quality.
The Reference Alpha 1 impresses with a majestic design language combining elegance and power. Like a measure of all things, it impressively combines grace and design. Standing over 160 cm tall, its silhouette exudes presence, with the perfect lacquer and walnut wood combination creating a timeless, elegant design. Despite their impressive size, the speakers appear light and graceful due to smooth lines and harmonious proportions. The handcrafted finish reflects the highest level of precision, with each detail - from surface finish to the curved shape of the front panel - emphasizing the pursuit of perfection. The Reference Alpha is an acoustic and visual masterpiece designed to serve for a long time.
The elegant, curved design of the Reference Alpha combines aesthetics and functionality. Curved side panels made of multi-layered wood provide exceptional stability and minimize resonance. Finished with a high-quality material mix, they harmoniously blend into the overall concept. Acoustically optimized curves prevent reflections from the edges and give the speakers an impressive yet timeless appearance.
The Reference Alpha series' tweeter system impresses with its DCC dome tweeter, which features a special diamond coating. This provides exceptional stiffness and optimizes vibration characteristics. In combination with an asymmetrical waveguide and a new grille design computer-modeled for optimized dispersion characteristics, especially in the crossover and high-frequency range above 15,000 Hz. The result: crystal clear high frequencies, revealing the finest details and nuances of music.
The Reference Alpha crossovers are equipped with high-precision components of a high class from Mundorf, ensuring precise signal separation and optimal sound quality. Thanks to the Displacement Control technology, uncontrolled shifts of the low-frequency drivers are eliminated, effectively minimizing distortions and optimizing bandwidth usage. Even at high volumes, playback remains accurate and detailed, with powerful, controlled bass and crisply defined high frequencies.
