Canton DM50 TV Soundbase, 2.1 200 W Virtual Surround Sound with Glass Top - Silver

A really good product which is more subtle, rather than in your face, but still impressive.
Music fares very well having listened to some great performances on Sky Arts including Jeff Beck and Gary Moore with the volume wound up.
The sound of the Canton is superb: great depth, with sufficient bass at the default setting and speech is crystal clear.
The sound is very clear and dialogue is not affected by the soundscape that is created by the 200 watts.
Very high quality sound and the display only indicates for a few seconds while adjustment changes are being made.

Canton DM55 2.1 Virtual Surround System - Black

On music it is great! The atmosphere created by incidental music in films is very well conveyed
The sound is fantastic for a small room. Great clarity and a pleasing neutral sound which can be adjusted to suit your taste.
Deep clean bass from ancient instruments like the tiorba is a revelation and really full sounds like a piano concerto are handled easily.
The sound is clear, with dialogue much better than the normal flat screen tv speakers and when it comes to deep sound it is tight and well controlled.
Simple to set up and use. The sound quality is fantastic.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Canton DM50 TV Soundbase, 2.1 200 W Virtual Surround Sound with Glass Top - Silver

The soundbase fits perfectly under the TV-stand - literally looks like they were made for each other
It's completely clean-looking - discreet and without trailing wires.
Nice size compromise also, being significantly smaller than the really large units that are available, but also much more robust and bigger than typical smaller portable units.
The unit also looks very attractive when in use.
Thoroughly recommend. Better looking than the usual boring soundbars!!

Canton DM55 2.1 Virtual Surround System - Black

I have the canton setup in my bedroom with a Samsung T24H390S Smart 24" LED TV and the profile of the canton fits the TV perfectly.
Does not take up a lot of space and looks good below my TVs.I have not had any problems with this lovely product.
It also fits nicely under my 65” TV. No issues thus far.
The vast improvement in sound immersion is truly awesome. And its appearance is truly rich and luxurious. You wouldn't be disappointed
Slim, well built and sounds good. Sound quality is excellent.

Optical connection offers very good sound so don't hesitate to use Optical if your Tv supports it
Easy one cable connection to TV which suits most users
The bluetooth streaming function works great too.
Fantastic sound , brilliant at blue tooth connection . No more speakers required.
The best thing is how it handles music via bluetooth from my PC.

Connection is easy and a bluetooth link to my phone was set up in seconds.
Bluetooth connectivity is great too and easy to set-up.
Visiting friends at yours can utilise the easy-peasy bluetooth connection and be listening to quality sound in seconds.
It's so much easier than fiddling around with a huge AV receiver and the innumerable wires and extra speakers.
Setup took 10mins from unpacking it from the box, plugging in the power cable and connecting the digital optical cable (which comes supplied) from the unit to my 40" Samsung LED TV and that was it!!
