Frequently Asked Questions about Kanta N°3

What are the dimensions of the Focal Kanta N°3 floorstanding speaker?

The Focal Kanta N°3 floorstanding speaker has a height of 1,280 mm, a width of 386 mm, and a depth of 520 mm. Weighing 46 kg, it is a heavyweight among floorstanding speakers. These dimensions ensure that it not only makes a visual statement in your room but also provides a stable acoustic foundation for sound dispersion. The robust design allows for efficient and low-resonance sound transmission, ensuring that sound quality is not compromised. The solid construction and weight help keep the speaker stable even at higher volumes. Thanks to these dimensions, there are flexible placement options for home theater integration in various room environments.

What is the frequency response of the Focal Kanta N°3?

The frequency response of the Focal Kanta N°3 ranges from 33 Hz to 40 kHz with a tolerance of +/- 3 dB. This indicates that the speaker is capable of accurately reproducing both deep bass and high frequencies. The low cutoff frequency at -6 dB is 26 Hz, which supports deep bass frequencies and ensures powerful bass reproduction. The wide frequency coverage allows for a realistic and detailed experience of both music and film soundtracks. The integration of the IAL3 Beryllium Tweeter contributes to the reproduction of fine details in high frequency ranges, providing a balanced and precise sound staging.

What technologies are used in the Focal Kanta N°3 to enhance sound?

The Focal Kanta N°3 employs a variety of technologies to optimize the listening experience. The Flax membrane in the woofers and midrange drivers ensures exceptional neutrality and sonic definition. The NIC motor in the 21 cm woofers guarantees precise bass reproduction with high dynamics. The midrange benefits from the TMD suspension, which minimizes distortion and allows for clear sound imaging. The IAL3 Pure Beryllium Inverted Dome Tweeter offers the finest detail reproduction in the high frequency range. Additionally, the Focus Time technology ensures perfect temporal coordination of sound sources. The sound architecture is supported by the one-piece molded wood back and the Zamak base, which minimizes resonances.

What are the characteristics of the tweeter in the Kanta N°3?

The Kanta N°3 is equipped with an 11/16 inch (27 mm) IAL3 Pure Beryllium Inverted Dome Tweeter. This component is crucial for the speaker's high sound fidelity, reproducing even the finest details with surgical precision. The unique design of the inverted dome ensures even sound dispersion while simultaneously reducing interference in the high-frequency range. The material Beryllium is known for its exceptional stiffness at low mass, allowing for quick responsiveness to electrical signals. This minimizes distortion and enables crystal-clear reproduction of highs.

What impact does the NIC motor have on the Kanta N°3's woofer?

The NIC motor in the two 8 inch (21 cm) Flax woofers of the Kanta N°3 is crucial for its impressive bass reproduction. NIC stands for Neutral Inductance Circuit, a technology that helps stabilize the inductance of the woofer and generate constant magnetic fields. This ensures controlled bass performance with reduced distortion and improved precision. Especially when playing dynamic passages or very quiet tones, the speaker maintains high clarity and detail accuracy. This is particularly valuable if you enjoy bass-heavy music without distortion or in film scenes that require powerful bass presence.

What materials are used in the Kanta N°3 midrange?

In the midrange of the Kanta N°3, a 6.5 inch (16.5 cm) Flax midrange driver membrane is used. The membrane is made from French Flax, known for its lightness and stiffness, providing exceptional sound neutrality. Combined with TMD suspension technology, distortion is minimized, allowing for clear, distortion-free reproduction. The targeted use of these materials ensures that tones in the mid-frequency range sound particularly clear and uncolored, which is essential for authentic voice reproduction and detailed acoustics. The lightweight membrane allows for quick response to input signals, bringing sound dynamics and precision.

What is the sensitivity of the Focal Kanta N°3?

The sensitivity of the Focal Kanta N°3 speaker is 91 dB. This high sensitivity means that the speaker can achieve a high volume even with low amplifier power. This is particularly advantageous when you use different types of amplifiers, as the speaker handles energy flexibly and efficiently. A higher sensitivity also means that the speaker accurately reproduces the finest details even at lower volumes. This is ideal in rooms where you cannot enjoy music or movies at maximum volume, but still want clear and detailed sound reproduction.

What are the recommended amplifier powers for the Kanta N°3?

For the Focal Kanta N°3, an amplifier power in the range of 40 to 400 watts is recommended. This wide range of amplifier power gives you flexibility in choosing the right amplifier. Smaller rooms benefit from the efficiency of a system with lower power, while larger rooms or home theaters require more powerful amplifiers to fully exploit the speaker's potential. The speaker is designed to perform optimally in both average-sized living spaces and specialized listening environments. If you want to listen to particularly detailed music or immerse yourself in a movie, an amplifier power tailored to the room helps.

How do nominal and minimum impedance differ in the Kanta N°3?

The Focal Kanta N°3 speaker has a nominal impedance of 8 Ω and a minimum impedance of 3 Ω. The nominal impedance indicates the average resistance of the speaker and is crucial for compatibility with amplifiers. The minimum impedance, on the other hand, can occur in frequency ranges where the resistance is temporarily at its lowest. An amplifier should be able to handle the load of a minimum impedance of 3 Ω to avoid distortion or performance drops. Understanding impedance helps you choose the best amplification and ensures that the interaction between the speaker and amplifier works smoothly.

Are the dimensions of the Kanta N°3 compatible with common vehicle models for installation in a car?

Due to its dimensions of 1,280 mm height, 386 mm width, and 520 mm depth, as well as its weight of 46 kg, the Focal Kanta N°3 is not suitable for installation in common vehicle models. These dimensions are designed for larger living spaces or home theaters and not for the limited space of a vehicle. Due to its design as a floor-standing speaker, the Kanta N°3 is tailored for stationary use to ensure optimal sound performance. If you are looking for a speaker for use in a car, more compact models or speaker systems specifically designed for vehicles would be better suited.
