Cabasse was founded over seventy years ago, in France. The company’s main ethos is the reproduction of music, without any alteration, coloration or distortion. They are research based and are constantly innovating. For example, they developed coaxial loudspeaker technology.
This technology mounts multiple drivers in a small space. As a result the sound is clean and pure with no phase errors. Finally, Cabasse also make connected speakers that can stream hi-res files as well as connect to thousands of radio stations. An early innovation was cinema surround sound speakers.
In the early fifties the advent of colour television, drove film makers to ever greater efforts to attract audiences. Various wide screen formats came out, such as vista Vision and Cinemascope. Another complicated system was Cinerama, this used three projectors and seven channel sound. This early surround sound system used Coaxial loudspeakers developed by Cabasse.
Another innovation came in 1958 with the first active three way speaker. By the 1980’s Cabasse were making four way speakers and had entered the professional market, with studio speakers. Spherical speakers are also a Cabasse speciality. The current Pearl range combines coaxial drivers with the latest streaming technology. Cabasse have their own App named StreamControl. It can be installed on Apple and Android devices and helps you to manage your music collection. There are many streaming services such as Qobuz, Deezer, Spotify, Napster & Tidal. You can also listen to over 15,000 online radio stations.
Cabbase also make an innovative range of conventionally shaped speakers. There are bookshelf speakers as well as a range of floor standers and subwoofers. Another feature of the range are the beautifully designed custom stands. An unusual bookshelf speaker set is the Rialto.
