About this deal

This Canton remote control arrived safely from Manchester and on testing was found to be transmitting on each button press as per normal operation. This gives the DM system optimum speech intelligibility, impressive spatial presence and powerful bass tones.

Company registration number: 01402643) only offers products from Creation Consumer Finance, Klarna and Paypal Credit. The glass topped box looks very sleek and unlike the Playbar, comes with its own remote which is on the chunky side but well built. Sound modes include Stereo and DTS TruSurround, plus a new Voice mode that boosts speech and a Hotel mode that sets a maximum volume limit. There are also three settings to slightly adjust sound direction according to whether your TV sits right on the base, or the base is on a rack below or below a wall mounted TV.As I have had TWO units which have failed in exactly the same way, the first after less than three months, the second after less than 5 months, I have given this unit 1 star as it is impossible to give it less. Almost all of our ” Canton DM55 Soundbase DM 55 Speaker Repair Dublin12 ” are processed within 3-5 working days while also offering an optional express Audio Hi-Fi Equipment repair option.

Neither of these things are hugely problematic though, and I'm generally quite pleased with my choice. I have two award winning options (albeit in different categories) to look at, the Sonos Playbar and the Canton DM55. You may be required to pay labour, assessment or freight costs, such as where goods are assessed to have been damaged by misuse or accident, or where the goods are assessed not to be faulty. I was a bit worried about doing away with the little (but excellent) Denon system, my fears were unfounded. Scenes on Jakku are characterised by a fine, precise rustling of sand, effortlessly tickled out by the Canton’s top-drawer tweeters.

The controls are sensibly limited e'g' the treble and bass boost and cut aren't extreme enough to produce unpleasant sound even at the edges of their ranges nor does the 'surround' option produce an unnatural experience.

This is the best sounding smaller base I have heard to date and, more importantly, one that gives the user a good amount of control over the settings, is easy to use, and I have happily shed a load of cables and separate speakers etc to accommodate it.

When I switch from my TV which has a seven band graphic eq that I can play with, the sound from the sound base sounds quite nasal (y).I've contacted Canton and they asked me to check what firmware the DM50 is (with unit in standby, hold the mute button down for 5 secs). One further point to note, the volume control range is 0-99, but you will only hear 'normal' volumes between about 60-90.

Easy to connect
Unlike some, the DM55 comes with both optical and coaxial digital inputs.

Whether used for music playback or home theater purposes, the Canton DM 55 aims to deliver high-quality sound performance. With their wireless subwoofers and up to four integrated woofers, the compact systems for TVs ensure a solid bass foundation. Alongside the optical digital input that makes it easy to connect with the flat screen television, the DM55 Soundbase has a coaxial digital input and an analogue cinch input. Thankfully it disappears when idle, leaving you with a blank fascia that doesn’t distract from the screen. Quality sound, though should be balanced and have sufficient 'separation' between full on Bass and full on Treble (I"m also sounding as if I'm very knowledgeable!

You can check what the Playbar is receiving from the Sonos controller app: Help | About my Sonos system. The DM55 is the successor to Canton’s superb DM50 soundbase, which scooped our award for Best Soundbar back in 2014. There’s still no sign of HDMI inputs, but we don’t feel that’s a huge miss as the optical input works perfectly well. The rhythm and tone of any music is presented as if coming from a piece of hifi rather than from a typical soundbar.
