Canton's diddy DM5 soundbar has smaller rooms in mind

Generally, we’ve been bigger fans of Canton’s soundbases (such as the DM 55, DM 75 and DM100) than its soundbars. The brand’s new DM5 soundbar will no doubt look to level that balance, however.

Aiming to pack the performance of its other models into a smaller box, Canton has made the 120-watt DM5 just 55cm-wide and 3kg heavy. Quite frankly, we’ve seen bigger Toblerones at Duty Free.

Other sound modes include ‘voice’ for boosting dialogue; ‘hotel’ for limiting maximum volume; and the ‘eco’ power saving mode.

The DM5 is available in black or silver, priced £299.
