R224 Black Edition Announced, Features Premium Silk Dome Tweeter to Express Even the Smallest Sound

A recent trend in the speaker market is the shift back from Bluetooth speakers to 2-channel speakers. This is due to an increasing number of users showing interest in 2-channel speakers, which remain faithful to the fundamental role of a speaker and offer excellent sound quality, instead of Bluetooth speakers, which have failed to overcome the limitations of relatively poor sound quality despite their superior portability.

In line with this trend, Canston, a renowned speaker manufacturer, has introduced the Canston R224 Black Edition, a 2-channel bookshelf speaker with significantly upgraded design and quality. It features a sophisticated design that reinterprets the previously released R224 Wood Edition in a modern way, and incorporates clip-type terminals useful for commercial establishments such as cafes.

Canstone Acoustic (CEO Han Jong-min, www.canstone.com, hereinafter Canstone), a specialized audio equipment manufacturing and distribution company that supplies the multimedia speaker brand F&D to the domestic market, announced on the 8th that it is launching the 2016 R224 Black Edition, an upgraded version of its steady-selling bookshelf speaker. Attention is focused on whether the newly unveiled R224 Black Edition can continue the reputation of its predecessor and once again become a sensation in the bookshelf speaker market.

The Canston 2-channel bookshelf speaker R224 Black Edition has significantly enhanced the output section, which is directly related to the speaker's performance, through the combination of a 25.4mm silk dome tweeter and a 101.6mm full-range driver unit. In particular, the silk dome tweeter outputs a soft yet bright and clear sound, while the driver unit delivers rich sound from the mid-low to the high frequencies.

In addition, a solid 12mm high-density MDF wooden enclosure design and an air circulation system (air duct) have been applied to secure magnificent bass performance, which might otherwise be lacking in a 2-channel system. As a result, users can experience rich expressiveness across the entire range in classical music and fully appreciate even the subtlest sound effects in online gaming environments.

The design of the Canston R224 Black Edition is another notable feature. As a 2-channel speaker with a luxurious bookshelf appearance, it is balanced on either side of a PC display. The inclusion of convenient front controls eliminates the space constraints often associated with multi-channel speakers, while the application of a black wood pattern reflects customer needs, presenting a simple and classic design that enhances overall quality.

Functionally, the main volume, bass, and treble can be adjusted to the user's preference, and the inclusion of clip-type terminals that facilitate cable extension and upgrades demonstrates consideration for commercial spaces as well. This is why it is recommended as a speaker for use not only at home and on office desks but also in places like cafes that fill large spaces with music.

Han Jong-min, CEO of Canstone, an audio specialist company, expressed confidence in the product, stating, “Canstone has launched the Black Edition of the R224, a best-selling and steady-selling bookshelf speaker.” He added, “Like its predecessor, it is a 2-way bookshelf speaker that uses a black wood enclosure to create an even more luxurious and special atmosphere.”

Meanwhile, Canston announced a special promotion to commemorate the launch of the R224 Black Edition speaker. It is scheduled to be sold in limited quantities through an exclusive Shocking Deal on the open market site 11st until the 10th at a special price of 39,900 won, which is a further discount from the regular price of 64,000 won. In addition, it was announced that a photo review event will also be held until July 31st.
