Cabasse Baltic Pearl Connected System
This is a unique system that has 3 speakers and, er, nothing else. So where are the electronics, you might ask? In the subwoofer of course. The Pearl Subwoofer has two rather special features. It has a 1,000 Watt amplifier for the subwoofer section as well as two 300 Watt channels of output to power a pair of Cabasse speakers, in this case the magnificent Baltic IV's. But wait, there's more. The Pearl is also a Connected Subwoofer which means it can stream music via AirPlay and Bluetooth and also directly from your favourite streaming service such as Spotify and TIDAL over Wi-Fi or Ethernet using the Cabasse App. Oh, and it also has sophisticated DSP processing to ensure it sends the correctly tailored signal to the Baltic IV speakers. How genius is that?
This system sounds like no other with a holographic quality that really needs to be heard to be believed. It images like crazy and has a cavernous soundstage that you feel you can almost walk into. It has a top to bottom consistency which is astonishing and it will play cleanly as loud or as soft as you desire. You really must hear this outstanding stereo system.
Cabasse Baltic IV Speakers
Founded by Georges Cabasse in 1950, Cabasse got its start building drivers and loudspeakers for the Cinemascope multichannel sound system developed by the film industry to lure patrons back to theatres following the introduction of television. Today, Cabasse is still in France and is one of Europe's most popular brands with products that are definitely eye-catching!
With its unique 3-way tri-axial driver mounted in a sphere for a perfectly controlled and homogeneous diffusion, the Baltic IV's definition and dynamic range are comparable to the most sophisticated systems available. The realism and 3D soundstage are exclusive to speakers designed using Cabasse Spatially Coherent System (SCS) principles. The conceptual advantage of a point source derived from concentric sources, in which all directional frequencies emanate from a central location, seems obvious. Generated direct and reflected sounds result in greater transparency and a larger sweet spot when compared to stacked multi-driver systems, whose reflected sound will, of necessity, be more disjointed.
Improving the performance of Baltic in the same 27cm spherical enclosure forced the Cabasse team to reconsider the tri-axial driver from scratch, including the development in house of exclusive aramid fabrics for the production of new low/low-midrange and midrange membranes. These concentric membranes form in profile a constant curve, offering more radiating surface and almost no diffraction from the minimized radiating areas. The homogeneity and purity of the diffusion from top highs - out to 25kHz - to lows are constant. The gain in rigidity with no compromise in weight enables the use of new more powerful rare-earth magnets. It improves significantly the efficiency and the power handling of the Baltic IV. The simultaneous production of both membranes by Cabasse robotized machines guarantees the reliability and the constancy of the performance.
