With ultra high definition TV’s now standard in most homes, we’ve reached a point where TV’s are almost perfect. In fact the clarity is so sharp, some viewers find it a bit too confronting – every pore, every wrinkle revealed in remarkable detail, while others revel in the lifelike precision. Either way, it’s difficult to imagine picture quality getting much better. Sound is however a different story, even the best soundbars still sound like soundbars, which is why CANVAS, feels like such a massive leap forward.
CANVAS is a new kind of audio system, one that’s been designed not just to complement your TV visually, but to finally bring the sound up to the same standard as the image. At first glance, CANVAS is beautifully understated as a single unit that sits neatly beneath your screen, blending visually into your space with a refined minimalist aesthetic. Change your interior style or decor – no problem – CANVAS’ interchangeable grilles, available in premium Danish fabrics or natural wood slat finishes, allow you to tailor its look to suit your evolving interior style. And whether your TV is 55 inches or 85 inches, upgrading is simple, just swap the grille to match your new screen size without the need to start from scratch.
But it’s what’s happening inside that makes CANVAS so different. This isn’t just a nicer looking soundbar. It’s the first system in this form to deliver real 3D HiFi audio, the kind you usually only get from a set of proper stereo speakers. Thanks to BACCH 3D Sound developed by Edgar Choueiri, an actual rocket scientist and professor at Princeton University, CANVAS creates a soundstage that feels wide, deep, and natural, all from a unit that’s just over a metre long. This isn’t just louder or clearer audio, it’s immersive, lifelike sound that allows you to hear detail and spatial separation you’d normally only get from a much more complex and far larger setup.
The system is powered by a four-channel amplifier delivering 250 watts RMS, backed by premium drivers from SB Acoustics and a solid 24-litre MDF enclosure for serious acoustic performance. But it’s not just what’s inside the unit that makes a difference it’s how CANVAS interacts with the space around it.
The tech behind it is clever as it uses something called crosstalk cancellation to make sure the sound from the left speaker only reaches your left ear, and the right to your right. The result is an eerily accurate stereo image that feels more like you’re listening to live music than watching Netflix.
There’s also smart room calibration built in. In just 60 seconds, using an app on your phone, the CANVAS Room Correction system analyses the materials, shape and layout of your room and adapts its output to suit. Whether you’re working with glass walls on the right, brick on the left wall, timber floors or soft furnishings, the system rebalances its sound to optimise clarity and depth. The result is consistently rich, natural audio, even in rooms that typically challenge speaker performance, and still sounds incredible.
Setting up CANVAS is as simple as connecting to WiFi. It integrates with your TV via HDMI eARC, allowing full control through your existing remote with no extra devices or remotes required. Music lovers can stream effortlessly using Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Tidal, Spotify Connect and even Roon. There’s also support for analogue inputs and Bluetooth, so you can connect a turntable or even your Sonos Connect and enjoy your collection in exceptional spatial detail.
Home audio has traditionally offered two distinct paths, either compact soundbars that don’t really deliver and prioritize convenience, or full HiFi setups that deliver uncompromising performance. CANVAS offers a new alternative and is what happens when a team of lifelong audio obsessives finally crack the code. It’s a system that looks good and integrates effortlessly into the modern living space, sounds extraordinary, and actually fits into your life.
