Video summary

La Nielson, CEO and co-founder of Canvas Hi-Fi, introduces a revolutionary approach to home audio at IFA 2026 by merging high-end Danish sound engineering with seamless interior design. The company is launching the new Canvas L, a larger sound system designed for TVs ranging from 65 to 115 inches, alongside their classic model which accommodates screens from 55 to 85 inches. These systems are not merely soundbars but complete furniture pieces that integrate directly into TV stands or frames, creating a unified aesthetic. Whether using real wood, aluminum, or custom fronts, the design allows users to match their living room's internal style perfectly, effectively turning any television setup into a luxury hi-fi experience without compromising on visual harmony. The core of this innovation lies in delivering genuine high-fidelity audio quality that rivals systems costing tens of thousands of euros, yet at an accessible price point starting around €3,400. The technology features Scan-Speak drivers and a 1,500-watt amplifier combined with new B 3D sound technology, which creates a vast sound space using fewer speakers while maintaining cinematic immersion. This setup includes front channels for center, left, and right audio plus subwoofers, with optional rear speakers for Dolby Atmos or Digital surround effects. The company emphasizes that their mission is to bring the authentic "old school" hi-fi feeling back into modern homes, ensuring the music touches the listener emotionally rather than just providing basic sound output. Canvas Hi-Fi distinguishes itself through a philosophy of openness and modularity, allowing customers to upgrade their systems later without paying for features they do not need immediately. The system is compatible with various partners, including special co-branding editions with Samsung's Frame TV and System Audio speakers, ensuring that the design remains consistent regardless of the brand used. Furthermore, the company maintains an open-source approach where users can integrate satellite speakers from other brands if they prefer, paying only for modules as they choose to expand their setup. Manufactured in Denmark with key components like drivers and wooden slats sourced locally, the products reflect a deep-rooted tradition of audio excellence that prioritizes sound quality above all else, supported by specialized dealers who provide expert advice to customers across Northern Europe and beyond.

Hello, my name is La Nielson. I'm the CEO and co-founder of Canvas Hi-Fi. And uh here at EA, we are introducing some cool news. Uh for example, we have the new the Hi-Fi S99H, which is a co-branding with Samsung with their new top model, the S99H. Uh what we basically did did is we have framed it with our wooden slashes and we have our sound system built inside here underneath. Wow. So it all goes into one seamless design combining uh the new top model from Samsung S99 with our sound wrapped up in Danish design. Another >> Oh, how good is your sound? >> Yeah, let me talk about that now. Another cool thing is our new sound system. We have have our classic canvas sound system that fits any TV, any brand. And now we just launched the new Canvas L, the larger sound system. This one you need to go up into 65 in and all the way up to 115 in. And this can be built in in one single design. You can as well do it with the classic model. That one goes down to 55 in and all the way up to 85 in. >> So does does it mean that uh you kind of have a TV stand? >> Yes. >> And then it just fits. >> Yes. What you basically do is you take your TV, you click it on here, then you adjust this. You can adjust this here in the depth. It goes flush with the sound system. And then afterwards when you have the TV here, you just add a front in the design of your choice that matches your internal design. And then voila, you have one seamless design. I can show you over here how the design will then look with an example here. And uh excuse me for the noise. Yeah. So you just take the front. Wow. And you put the front that matches the size of your TV like this >> and it goes into one seamless design. >> It looks so nice. And it would You didn't even ask them for permission. You just make it work. >> Yes, exactly. >> You can partner them with them or you don't have to. >> Oh, excuse me. You mean with with the >> with the TV manufacturer? >> Oh, we can. Our system, our sound system is made so it fits any TV, any brand, any size, any brand. Now the collabor we have some special editions that we do with Samsung and we do some special edition with LEA but uh all our normal models fits any TV any brand. I can give you an another example. Samsung is very famous for the frame. This the frame is the most sold designer TV in the world. We made a special edition. We made it the hi-fi frame. Basically, it's a luxury edition where we framed both Samsung the frame and our sound system in one seamless design with real wood or aluminum in a high quality standard in and then in this sense we wrapped it all up in Danish design and made a luxury edition with real hi-fi calling it instead of the frame we call it the hi-fi frame. This is so amazing because um it basically mean you can upgrade your your living room. >> Yes. >> Not just with a great sound but great design. >> Exactly. And our mission you know we have been seen our our business as a whole selling sound bars in aluminium and plastic with small tweeters sticking out. Um, and what happened in our business was we came further and further away from that real genuine hi-fi feeling. And we are trying to get that back uh into the living rooms, but without compromising the internal design. We're actually making uh it so that you can uh uh make it fit into any internal design of the customer's choice. >> And if I like this color, boom, >> boom, you got it. >> I can choose that >> exactly in the size of your choice. And another cool thing is if you later change the size of your TV or you change your internal design, you can just choose the another front that matches the new TV or match >> internal design. You got it. >> Nice. Uh if I if I went went over here. Oh, this is the one that's uh so what can you describe the feeling of this experience right now? >> Yeah. With the sound, >> you can explain it. >> Yeah. And also different. Yeah, pretty much. What you experience here is this uh new B 3D sound combined with surround. So, what we basically do is we have in the front. >> Yeah. >> What do you say? Basically in the front we have uh we have this B 3D experience that makes a huge sound space where the B 3D inside the sound system takes care of the center speaker, the left speaker, the right speaker and the subwoofer. And then we added rear speakers in dog atmos or dog digital so you can get that cinematic experience but without too many speakers. So it's also goes into your interior design with even Dolby Atmos or Dolby Digital or Spark 3D technology combined. >> Wow. And um I don't know if it's easy for you to switch but um just before >> uh there was there was some uh music going on here >> and it was so crisp. >> So the bass the whole everything. Can you describe your sound? >> Yes. Yes. Now the special thing about our sound system is we are using uh scans speak drivers and top of line amplifier 1,500 watt combined with the B 3D technology and the B 3D technology is a new technology that you normally find in really high-end hi-fi systems uh that costs a bundle like 30 40,000 but we combined that in here and what it does is that it makes a huge sound space. So even though that the rellet speakers are relatively close together, you get this uh cinematic experience that and that we are using rugged solid cabinet and real solid drivers get going back to that old school hi-fi philosophy where you can get that kind of music that gets under your skin. >> How much money do I need to have to be able to afford this? Our starting point for our entry level system is €3,400 and then it goes up on depending on the choice of your quad or wooden slashes or even the the canvas L the biggest model all the way up to 67 €7,000 depending on >> where is it manufactured? It's manufactured in Denmark. Uh and um some of the parts uh the drivers are from Denmark. The the the and some of the the material the the wooden slashes and the quas is from Denmark and some of the other thing is that we have in it is from the east and then we combine it all in Denmark. And for €3,400 or something like that, can you tell me that I'm going to get an experience that's going to be in the ballpark of something that it might cost 30 40,000? >> Well, uh >> for from some other place. Well, uh what we did is that we combined uh uh it all in one slick design uh but at a very uh interesting price point because we actually uh made a real high-end hi-fi system at a very attractive price point. Now I know that normally a soundbar uh can be bought uh cheaper but this is actually not just a soundbar. This is a really high-end hi-fi system with high-end hi-fi quality at a really attractive price point. >> Can we try to the world's first audio file soundbar? Can we can we ask your friend to to click something? We can hear something there. >> Definitely. One second. I'll just ask my my friend here. Uh Hen and we'll just uh >> Nice. And the base while we wait for that. Yeah, here you can see the the philosophy and how it's built inside. We have this bridge brand which is uh special designed from us to make the cabinet more uh strong and uh uh hard feel like it's one. >> Yeah, exactly. And and uh this is what you want to have that very very crispy sound. >> Nice. >> Yeah. >> Wow. >> You should sit right in the sweet spot. >> So I'm going to sit right here. Exactly. Wo. >> I I get goosebumps. >> That's That's the idea. Exactly. That's good. >> Yeah. Because Yeah. You need to >> You need to enjoy life, right? And and and getting the music in the full quality is kind of like an important thing. >> Exactly. Yeah. >> Right. >> Yeah. >> Because it's actually maybe even more important than the TV. >> Yeah. And and this was also our mission as I told before about you know using aluminum uh driver using aluminum cabinet and plastic cabinet and and small tweeters sticking out to make some quantities round. We're going away from that and going into that that general hi-fi that really touches you and this is what we actually solve with this system. >> What is the history of your company? How long have you been doing this? And uh what do you think is going to happen in the next few months and next few years? Well, um we have been doing this for for quite some years. Uh me and my family has been in the hifer business for generations. Uh and when we made this and uh sold this uh we did that to um to uh get the uh these things sold that we just just talked about. And what we're seeing is that uh we're trying to we're trying to get into a uh a situation where where we are merging really good hi-fi into the living rooms of uh of uh of the the end user getting that back to to the scene and uh by combin combining these new choices that we are launching now uh we have even more accessories um making it more um opening uh the possibilities for our customers to put into many speakers or few speakers and combining these things. I have this new launch that we did with the Almando Almando which is a a German brand uh electronic brand and um we made this upgrade that you can put into your canvas and upgrade it. So if you need even more channels, if you need up to 12 channels, you can put that in and connect it. >> Add more uh satellite speakers. >> Exactly. Add all the speakers that you want. If you want to do that, but we don't charge this uh before you need it as a customer. And this is one of our philosophies. We made the system as a whole for 95% of the customer. And with modules, you can then upgrade it if you need it, but you don't pay it uh in advance. you pay as you upgrade it with modules and >> and it's very nice that you're talking about partnerships. So it sounds like you might even be compatible with other speakers in the satellites. >> Actually what we're doing is we made this very open source. For example, we made this co-branding with system audio. So that is a Danish uh speaker brand and we made it with our designed fronts in all the same colors as we do our fronts on our sound system. So it matches as you can see here in the exhibition and um by that we made solutions that uh designwise matches but actually you can choose whatever speaker you want. We made it open source. So if you want some other speakers, some other brands, the built-in speakers or whatever you want, you can do that as well. >> Uh it's so cool to see this quality uh coming out and why is there so much good sound coming out of Denmark? Can you explain what happened? >> Well, uh in Denmark, we have uh many years experience and uh many years history of making good >> century >> centuries. Yes, let's call it some brands. >> Exactly. And uh of course all of this communities we are a part of and uh have been developing and our starting point has been from the audio file business. Uh our audio engineers is from the audio file business. So our uh approach to the business has been more like making an audio file solution than making a design life solution. And then afterwards we made the right design for this audio file solution. So for us the most important part has always been and will al always always be the sound making the best sound possible >> because I guess the people working on this the engineers the sound designers they do it for themselves because they want to experience great sound and then you can also sell it to others right >> something like that >> you might say that but you know me as a co-founder and my co-founder Kim Nea and other cool guys that we have had in in the the making with the Benob and and other cool sound engineers. uh we we do this uh uh with passion of the the good sound and good quality combined with the passion for good design and uh this is where I believe we are uh way different from many other companies who is mainly focusing perhaps on design or mainly focusing on something else but we are focusing on the the sound perspective and then the design uh comes uh in as the second point >> and in Denmark there's this shop called Hi-Fi Clubmer, right? Yes. >> Uh it just means that in Denmark the consumers love buying this >> but the the market is so much bigger. You can get to the whole world with this stuff, right? >> Yes. True. And funny you just mentioned Hyum because we just engage with them. So they are going out in all northern Europe uh with uh all their shops uh is uh coming with with cameras uh and hyphoon is a very good match for us as the dealers we have today in all countries are specialized dealers who knows what they're talking about who knows how to demonstrate who knows how to give the customers as advice of what's the right thing to buy and this combination now with hyphoon are we getting more of these uh Many qualified dealers.
