Features
The use of a beech shell bent in three axes made it possible to increase the rigidity of the body and reduce material consumption to a minimum. In addition, the shell contains only a fraction of the adhesive and the sealant components normally required for traditional cabinet construction. AQ CANTO are thus the most environmentally friendly speakers.
Custom drive units and crossover components, which are manufactured specially for AQ by the Danish company SB ACOUSTICS, also play an important role. The listener will certainly appreciate the strong and controlled bass, precisely mastered mids and clear highs full of fine details. Impressive visual contrast is provided by the state-of-the-art 6" mid-bass driver with white ceramic surface. Nothing is self-serving and the sleek organic slim shape enabled by more than 130 yr. old wood bending technology The elegance and benefits of the technology can be felt even before the speakers play their first note.
AQ CANTO 3 Audiophile two-way bookshelf speakers are based on proven solutions that give the speakers their unrivaled accuracy and ability to reproduce music the way the authors intended. Extreme precison is used internally connecting individual parts which are hand-soldered with component-by-component technology completely eliminating the use of any push-on type connectors. Externally, there are high-quality screw-type speaker terminals, which not only allow standard simple connection, but also support Bi-wire or Bi-amp connection. The very rigid bent beech shell baffle is equipped with a specific 6" mid-bass driver with a ceramic-coated aluminum diaphragm and 3D recesses. This composite diaphragm design results in an extremely low weight and high rigidity construction, which makes the speaker very fast and accurate. The tweeter with a 1" textile dome mated to a solid aluminum waveguide easily plays even the subtlest nuances of the music. The result is a maximally faithful and dynamic sound that convinces with its entertainment, rich musical details and great rendering of the space. Thanks to the use of a combination of innovative and traditional technologies, the AQ CANTO 3 speakers set a new sound performance reference in their price category and elevate the listening experience to an unprecedented level.
