{"title":"CABASSE","description":"\u003cp\u003eCabasse is a French speaker manufacturer from Brest that has relied on coaxial drivers since 1950 – several ways radiating from a single point.

A coloured touchscreen with a volume ring and a headphone jack up front, terminals for passive speakers round the back: everything from TV sound to your hi-res library runs through this one unit. Internationally, Cabasse now also sells the same unit as the AMP 240 S – same technology, different name on the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Cabasse Abyss?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause three components, three power cables and two RCA leads rarely sound better than one properly matched unit. 2 × 120 watts at 8 ohms and 2 × 215 watts at 4 ohms are enough for practically any bookshelf speaker and most floorstanders, and the Class D power stages stay cool and quiet while doing it. The HDMI eARC input also makes the Abyss the most elegant solution for better TV sound – no soundbar needed, one that still looks like a soundbar on the shelf. And since the 2025 firmware update it's Roon Ready: if you manage your library through Roon, you add the Abyss as an endpoint with no detour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sound that's more grown-up than the chassis size suggests: controlled bass, clean midrange, no added harshness. Cabasse adds two of its own DSP tools – DEAP for multi-band equalisation, DFE for bass control at low volumes. On top of that, you tell the app where the speakers stand and where you sit, and a two-band equaliser fine-tunes from there; the Abyss doesn't do a microphone-based room measurement. With Cabasse speakers, stored profiles kick in; with other brands it plays just as readily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Cabasse Abyss for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants a full stereo setup with passive speakers but not a rack full of boxes. For living rooms where the TV joins in. And for anyone who'd rather run their system from an app and a touchscreen than from a stack of remotes. Straight talk: if you already own a good preamp and a power amp, you're buying twice here. For vinyl you need an external phono stage – there's no phono input. And the Abyss doesn't have a full-range preamp output either – it's a destination, not a stopover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lifestyle device with serious technology underneath – the rarer of the two combinations.

The Abyss is a genuine stereo integrated amplifier with Class D power stages delivering 2 × 120 watts at 8 ohms and 2 × 215 watts at 4 ohms. That's enough to drive passive bookshelf and floorstanding speakers with no extra power amp. A network player and converter already sit in the same chassis, so a separate streamer becomes unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect the Abyss to my TV?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Via the HDMI eARC input you connect the Abyss directly to your TV and hear the sound through your stereo speakers instead of the flat TV chassis. If you don't have an eARC connection, use the optical S\/PDIF input instead. For a movie night, that's the biggest audible difference in the whole living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the Cabasse Abyss?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. There's a 3.5 mm jack on the front for headphones. That lets you keep listening late at night without disturbing the speakers – you adjust the volume as usual via the ring on the display or in the app. That doesn't make the Abyss a dedicated headphone amp, but the output is more than adequate for common models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Abyss measure the room automatically?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, there's no microphone-based room measurement. Instead, you tell the StreamCONTROL app where the speakers stand and where you sit; DEAP and the two-band equaliser adjust the sound accordingly. That noticeably smooths out corner placements and TV-cabinet setups, but it doesn't replace an actual room-acoustics measurement. For tricky rooms, we're happy to take a look at the situation beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Abyss have a preamp output for an external power amp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Abyss has a subwoofer output but no full-range preamp output. It's designed as a self-contained complete unit: speakers straight onto the terminals, done. If you want to keep using an existing power amp, you're better served by a separate preamp – just tell us what you already have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a streaming subscription?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Streaming over WLAN, Ethernet, AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth is the convenient option, not a requirement. Via the optical input, two RCA inputs and the USB-A port you play a TV, CD player or a hard drive, and internet radio costs nothing anyway. A subscription remains an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Cabasse Abyss at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you which speakers really suit the Abyss – and which would leave it under-challenged.

The tilt angle is fixed and angles the speaker down toward the listening position – so the room doesn't have to accommodate the speaker, the speaker accommodates the room. It's supplied singly, per piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this wall mount?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot every room has space for stands. In the kitchen, bedroom or office, the wall is often the only free surface – and that's exactly where the Akoya's compact shape pays off. The mount needs no floor footprint at all and still holds the speaker in a defined position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fixed 20-degree angle isn't a mechanical shortcut, it's deliberate: a speaker mounted close to the wall would otherwise beam over the listening position. The tilt brings the radiation back down. Add to that a detail that matters a lot in a living space – the surface can be painted over.

And the wall has to safely carry the mount plus the speaker, around eleven kilograms together; with drywall or old-building plaster it's worth checking the substrate before drilling.

Cabasse explicitly specifies the surface as paintable; it ships matte white from the factory. That lets the mount visually disappear into the wall, even a coloured one. Cleaning, sanding, priming and finishing with a suitable metal paint is all it takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does my wall need to withstand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround eleven kilograms: the mount weighs 2.6 kg, the Akoya itself 8 kg. Cabasse explicitly points out in the manual that you should check the wall construction and choose screws and wall plugs to match. If you're unsure, our technician Mauri can handle the installation on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come as one mount or two?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne. Cabasse sells the Akoya wall mount as a single unit, just like the speaker itself. For a stereo pair on the wall, you'll need two mounts accordingly.

Each set contains one speaker and one stand; in the StreamCONTROL app you assign left and right channels to two Akoya. A single set plays in mono and suits secondary rooms well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the Akoya in this set Roon Ready?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, since the Pearl series' 2025 certification. In Roon's partner overview, the Akoya is listed both as Roon Ready and as Roon Tested. All you need is current firmware from the StreamCONTROL app. The speaker doesn't support MQA or aptX; Bluetooth runs with SBC and AAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I still hang the Akoya on the wall later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.

The stand is a fixed part of the set, you don't need to order it separately. For a stereo pair you need two of these sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow tall is the stand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e84 cm, with a footprint of 38 × 38 cm and 15 kg of weight. That puts the sphere's coaxial driver roughly at ear height when you're sitting. The cables run invisibly through both stand tubes, so nothing is visible at the connection panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need two sets for stereo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Each Pearl is a complete system with its own amplifiers, converter and streamer and is sold individually. Two sets give you a stereo pair at identical height, which you pair in the app. A single set works convincingly as a mono solution in a side room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy a stand at all?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the sphere radiates all around and sounds most open when freestanding. On a sideboard, the surface reflects the sound, and in a corner the bass builds up. The stand brings the driver to ear height and creates distance from walls, so CRCS calibration has less to straighten out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the warranty last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe statutory manufacturer warranty applies. Anyone who registers the set with Cabasse within 60 days of purchase also receives an extended warranty of five years on the drivers and two years on the electronics. We handle this for you as an authorised dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy The Pearl with stand at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we look at the speaker, stand and placement as a whole and tell you where the sphere really belongs in your room.

You don't need more of a system than that – no rack, no separate amplifier, no cable mess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Cabasse The Pearl Keshi?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause Pearl technology is packed into the smallest enclosure in the family. The satellites run the coaxial Dom55 mid\/tweeter, the subwoofer has a 17 cm HELD woofer that reaches down to 30 Hz. Cabasse specifies 1050 W RMS for the system – 450 W of that for the bass, 300 W each for the two satellites. For a system that fits on half a metre of sideboard, that's not nothing. CRCS room correction measures via a built-in microphone and irons out whatever your living room does acoustically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA surprisingly grown-up stereo image: vocals sit cleanly in the centre, instruments can be located, and the bass seems to come from nowhere – because nobody expects that much from such a small sphere. The wide dispersion of the coaxial satellites takes away the sweet-spot fussiness of the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStreaming is an option, not a requirement: Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Napster and internet radio run over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth are on board, and if you maintain a Roon library, you can add the Keshi as a Roon Ready zone.

Bottom line: if you want to fill an open gallery or run home-cinema levels, go for The Pearl or The Pearl Akoya instead. And if you listen to vinyl, you need a phono preamp and go in via the jack input – there's no line-level RCA input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most compact Pearl system, and still a fully-fledged setup.

Services like Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer or Spotify are an option, not a requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow big a room can the Keshi handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Keshi is built for small to medium rooms. Thanks to the wide dispersion of the spherical satellites and the automatic room correction in the subwoofer, it fills such rooms evenly without you having to hunt for a sweet spot. For large, open living areas we'd recommend The Pearl or The Pearl Akoya instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect my TV to the Keshi?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, via the optical S\/PDIF input. That routes the TV sound through the subwoofer and the two satellites without needing a soundbar. The Keshi has no HDMI ARC socket – so check whether your TV has an optical output. Alternatively, use the analogue 3.5 mm jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Keshi work with Roon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the Keshi is listed as Roon Ready with Roon Labs and appears in your Roon setup as its own zone. That lets you control it from the same library as your other devices. Without Roon you can use the Cabasse StreamCONTROL app, AirPlay 2 or Spotify Connect instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I later expand the Keshi into a multiroom system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Via the Cabasse StreamCONTROL app, the Keshi can be linked with additional Cabasse streaming speakers into a multi-zone system – different music in each room, or the same music everywhere. AirPlay 2 is also on board, so you can play multiple rooms at once from the Apple ecosystem too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Cabasse The Pearl Keshi at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we'll tell you whether the Keshi suits your room – and when a larger Pearl model would be the better choice.

Internet radio, music files from your NAS or home network, and the wired inputs all work without any subscription. You can use Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer and Spotify, but you don't have to – and via AirPlay 2 you can play anything running on your iPhone anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I mount the satellites on the wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe satellites sit in adjustable metal brackets that serve as both a stand and a wall mount – you don't need any extra accessories. The connection cables to the subwoofer are three metres long, and they practically disappear against a light-coloured wall. A calibration microphone is already built into the subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere's the best place to put the subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe spherical subwoofer is much less fussy about placement than a classic cube sub. A free position on the floor, not directly in a corner, is a good starting point. After that, CRCS room correction measures automatically via the microphone and evens out any excess. If in doubt, we'll plan the placement with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Keshi support Roon and MQA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoon yes, MQA no. Roon Labs lists the Keshi as Roon Ready, so it appears as its own zone in your Roon library. Cabasse does not state MQA decoding for the Keshi. High-resolution files up to 24 bit \/ 192 kHz, plus DSD64 and DSD128, play without any trouble, though.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Keshi work well with a TV?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, via the optical input. The TV sound then runs through the subwoofer and satellites instead of the TV's own speakers. The Keshi doesn't offer HDMI ARC, so your TV needs an optical digital output. For the screen in your living room, it's a quiet, elegant alternative to a soundbar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Cabasse The Pearl Keshi at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause with us you get experience instead of spec sheets.

That's why the sphere doesn't wander across the sideboard when things get deep. A built-in microphone measures the room (CRCS), and the electronics adapt the frequency response to the placement. Bottom line: this is no Bluetooth tub for the bathroom, but a small hi-fi speaker that just happens to have a battery too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNetwork via Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 5, mesh-capable) or Ethernet, plus AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, UPnP\/DLNA and the StreamCONTROL app for multiroom.

Streaming stays an option and not a requirement: connect your TV via the optical input, any analogue source via the 3.5 mm jack, and internet radio costs nothing.

Honestly: it's not a weatherproof outdoor speaker – Cabasse doesn't state an IP rating, so rain and continuous outdoor use aren't its home. If you want real stereo, you need two spheres, since a single one plays mono.

Cabasse sells the Myuki as a single unit that plays in mono on its own. Two spheres can be paired into a stereo pair in the StreamCONTROL app, but that's a deliberate additional decision, not the state it ships in. If you want to upgrade later, just buy a second sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the battery play for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCabasse states up to twelve hours per charge, depending on volume and source. It's recharged via USB-C with the included mains adapter, and it keeps playing indefinitely while plugged in. The manufacturer doesn't disclose how long a full charge takes or how large the battery is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Myuki have a USB audio input or HDMI?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, neither. The USB-C port is exclusively for power and charging, and there's no HDMI at all. For the TV, use the optical Toslink input; for a turntable with phono stage or other analogue sources, the 3.5 mm jack. Wirelessly, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and your home network are also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Myuki work with Roon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it's been Roon Ready since the 2025 firmware update. In Roon's official device list, The Pearl Myuki is listed as a certified Roon Ready model, so you connect it directly as a Roon zone instead of via AirPlay 2. It's worth checking your firmware version before the first attempt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the Myuki outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a dry terrace or balcony, sure – in the rain, no. Cabasse states no protection rating against water and dust, so it's a mobile indoor speaker. For genuine outdoor use, we'll advise you on models built for that.

Each sphere brings its own streamer, DAC and four amplifiers with a combined 3700 W RMS. A preamp or power amp is unnecessary – power, network and a source are all you need. That makes the Pelegrina a complete system in two speakers, with no rack and no cable clutter behind it. All you connect is what you actually want to listen to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I get the Pelegrina as a single unit, or only as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly as a pair. Cabasse offers the flagship exclusively as a stereo pair, while the smaller Pearl spheres are also available individually. Both cabinets have their own electronics and are calibrated to the room together. The official Cabasse price list also lists the Pelegrina explicitly as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the Pelegrina without a streaming subscription?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Via optical input, RCA, XLR and USB-A you can play a CD, turntable (with phono stage), TV sound or local files from network storage. Internet radio runs free of charge. Services like Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer, Spotify or Napster can be added later – they're an option, not a requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it make sense to add a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The large HELD woofer reaches down to 10 Hz, which leaves nothing missing in a living room. Cabasse also doesn't list a dedicated subwoofer output for the Pelegrina in the datasheet. If you're still considering an extension, we'll check the options with the distributor beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat room size does the Pelegrina need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium to large living rooms; the trade press recommends 20 to 60 square metres. The automatic room correction adapts it to the setup, but the flagship only shows its full capability with some space around it.

Cabasse had the Pearl series certified via a firmware update in 2025; the Pearl Sub appears on the official Roon partner list as Roon Ready. So you integrate it directly as a zone in Roon. Also on board are AirPlay 2, Bluetooth 4.2 and high-resolution multiroom over Wi-Fi or Ethernet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Pearl Sub have an HDMI input?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, there's no HDMI or eARC. For the TV you use the optical S\/PDIF input, which practically every TV has. Analogue sources connect via RCA, and a USB port accepts music from a hard drive or stick. On the network side, everything runs via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Cabasse The Pearl Sub at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you whether the white sphere really works in your living room – acoustically and visually.

The The Pearl weighs 18 kg, plus 2.6 kg for the mount. Cabasse's mounting instructions explicitly state that the wall, screws and wall plugs must be rated for this load.

The set consists of one The Pearl active speaker and one The Pearl Stand in white, plus a Bluetooth remote, power cable and instructions. Cabasse sells the Pearl individually as a rule, because each sphere is a complete system. For stereo, you order two sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the stand's dimensions and weight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe The Pearl Stand is 84 cm tall and stands on a footprint of 38 × 38 cm, at 15 kg own weight. It's made of metal in matte white. Both stand tubes carry the cables concealed, so power and signal cables stay out of sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the set also work in small rooms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn rooms under about 20 m², a lot of headroom goes unused, but it still works. CRCS calibration reins in excessive bass when the speaker sits close to a wall. From around 25 m² it becomes really cohesive, and up to about 35 m² the Pearl feels visibly at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I buy the stand separately later on?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the The Pearl Stand is also available on its own. As a set, you get it in a colour that matches the sphere right away, saving you a second order and the colour question. Get in touch if you already own a Pearl and are just looking for the stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich streaming services run directly on the Pearl?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTidal, Qobuz, Deezer, Napster and Spotify via Spotify Connect are built in directly, along with internet radio via vTuner. Cabasse doesn't support Amazon Music natively. Via AirPlay 2, Roon or Bluetooth you can additionally play back anything running on your phone or computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy The Pearl with stand at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we think of the set as a whole: speaker, height, wall distance and room all belong together. We deliver, set up on site on request and run the calibration, and our technician stays reachable afterwards. As an authorised dealer, we handle the warranty without detours, from Wädenswil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eContinue with our \u003ca href=\"\/en-ch\/collections\/lautsprecher\"\u003espeakers\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en-ch\/collections\/lautsprecher-staender\"\u003espeaker stands\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en-ch\/collections\/subwoofer\"\u003esubwoofers\u003c\/a\u003e and everything around \u003ca href=\"\/en-ch\/collections\/streaming\"\u003estreaming\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cabasse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52989495247184,"sku":null,"price":3739.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/3262\/8048\/files\/cabasse-the-pearl-aktivlautsprecher-standfuss-weiss-frontansicht.jpg?v=1785445627"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/3262\/8048\/collections\/cabasse-the-pearl-aktivlautsprecher-schwarz-schraegansicht-kollektion.jpg?v=1788946123","url":"https:\/\/hdzuerisee.ch\/en-ch\/collections\/cabasse.oembed","provider":"HD Zürisee AG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
