The world of audio and home entertainment buzzed with anticipation as Danish HiFi brand CANVAS HiFi made its global debut at CES 2024 last week. This new and revolutionary concept takes traditional HiFi performance to new heights by combining it with the functionality of a TV sound product. The result? A level of sound quality that was once reserved for dedicated HiFi sound systems, all wrapped in an elegant and functional design that seamlessly fits into any home.
So, what's the secret behind CANVAS HiFi's remarkable sound quality? It's a combination of several cutting-edge technologies. High-end speaker construction, Room Correction, and BACCH 3D crosstalk cancellation work in harmony to create an immersive audio experience.
HomeTheaterReview was on the ground in Las Vegas last week, where we had the chance to see and hear CANVAS at the Venetian Hotel, and we walked away thoroughly impressed.
One of the standout features of CANVAS HiFi is its simplicity, especially when compared to traditional TV sound setups with numerous components. CANVAS offers an all-in-one solution that effortlessly blends with your home decor. We have the option to choose from a variety of looks, including colored fabric fronts or different wooden lamellas to match our style.
The versatility of the CANVAS design is further enhanced by its universal TV mount. This feature allows us to place it on the floor or mount it on the wall, with the TV on top, or use it as a standalone music system. This flexibility caters to our diverse needs and preferences.
When it comes to the components inside, they are nothing short of top-notch. The speakers boast High-End SB Acoustics die-cast aluminum chassis, next-generation paper cone bass/midrange drivers, high-precision stiff paper cone long-excursion passive radiators, and SB-CANVAS designed die-cast aluminum waveguide silk dome tweeters. These elements combine to create a zero-diffraction design that ensures crystal-clear audio.
The core of CANVAS is powered by a four-channel Burr-Brown DAC and a HiFi amplifier, guaranteeing a pure and authentic audio reproduction. BACCH 3D stereo imaging and advanced linear phase Analog Devices DSP crossovers further enhance our listening experience, delivering impressive sound quality that leaves us in awe.
Another aspect that sets CANVAS apart is its forward-thinking design. The hardware is not only upgradable but also replaceable, ensuring that our investment remains relevant in the ever-evolving world of technology. With both WiFi and HDMI eARC connectivity options, integrating CANVAS into our existing entertainment system is a breeze, making it future-proof and adaptable to our changing preferences.
What truly makes CANVAS exceptional is its harmonious blend of style and sound. It transcends being just a speaker. It's a work of art for both the eyes and the ears. For us, who demand both aesthetics and acoustics, CANVAS HiFi is a dream come true.
As we ventured into the CANVAS HiFi demonstration at the Venetian Hotel during CES, our impressions were nothing short of remarkable. The 3D enveloping sound field, powered by BACCH 3D technology, left us in awe, especially when seated in the sweet spot. It was an impressive auditory experience, with sound coming from all directions, creating a truly immersive sensation.
The bass response, despite the system's compact size, was simply unbelievable. The depth and richness of the low frequencies added a layer of immersion to our listening experience that we hadn't anticipated.
The overall tonal balance was impressive, showcasing CANVAS HiFi's effort to deliver pristine audio across the entire spectrum.
Another aspect that caught our attention was the replaceable and interchangeable fronts. We found the wooden triangle slats particularly appealing, not just for their aesthetic appeal but also for their unique texture.
As tech enthusiasts, audiophiles, and lovers of elegant design, we couldn't be more excited about CANVAS HiFi's worldwide launch at CES. It signals the dawn of a new era in home audio, one that combines innovation, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
Whether you're an audiophile with discerning tastes or simply someone who appreciates the perfect blend of style and sound, CANVAS HiFi is a game-changer that deserves a spot in your home.
