Cabasse The Pearl Keshi 2.1 Speaker System

Cabasse Pearl Keshi 2.1 speaker system is an active minimalist music system. There is a main unit that houses the 22cm subwoofer and amplifiers as well as two 8cm satellite speakers. This is a compact system with massive amounts of power. Visitors will be surprised at the full and rich sound coming from such compact speakers.

As with the rest of the Pearl range, the Keshi can be used with the Cabasse StreamControl App. This allows to you to stream hi-res music using your smartphone or tablet. The subwoofer can be placed out of sight or used as a centre piece. Finally there are also analogue and digital inputs to connect external drives and other devices.

Stunning performance from large bandwidth drivers

The Pearl Keshi 2.1 speakers deliver a wide stereo image as well as great sound quality. All the properties of Cabasse spherical speakers are combined in this system. That includes new large bandwidth drivers that feature a large excursion, for stunning bass, as well as high power handling. They also have an ultra-fine 50-micromere thick membrane for great accuracy and dynamics. The speaker drivers are coaxial with two drivers in one unit.

Powerful class D amplifiers

The Pearl Keshi system can reach a sound level of 115dB (peak) without distortion. This is achieved by using three high-power Class D amplifiers. The subwoofer has 450w of power while the satellite speakers have 300W of power each. The result is a wide dynamic range where you can hear subtle sounds as well as loud ones without any clipping or distortion.

Why class D amplifiers?

Class D amplifiers are much more efficient than linear amplifiers. In fact they are 90% efficient. This is essential with small form factor active speakers, where heat generation is not possible. Amplifiers using bipolar transistors need larger power supplies and always have some current flowing. On the other hand, class D amplifiers use fast switching MOSFET transistors that are either fully on or fully off. The result is a very powerful amplifier in a small space.

Spherical design aesthetic

As with the rest of the Pearl collection the Pearl Keshi system has spherical speakers. They look stunning as well as provide 360 degree sound. They come with beautiful, shaped, chrome plated stands, that suspend the bass unit in the air. Moreover, the double walled shell has no less than four coats of matt paint. This achieves a perfect finish that complements the satellite speakers. The satellites can also be adjusted to sit in five different positions. There are also versatile wall mounts available.

Versatile listening with the StreamControl App

All of the Pearl series can be used with the Cabasse StreamControl App. This will let you stream from multiple sources, such as Qobuz and Spotify. The app can be installed on iOS and Android devices. Moreover, it can be used with multiroom systems and has voice control. There is also Bluetooth and Wi-Fi installed.

Innovative round Bluetooth remote

The Pearl Keshi comes with an innovative round Bluetooth remote. You can adjust the volume by rotating the outer ring. Furthermore, there are programmable buttons that can be used for play, pause and to control radio streaming.

Why Spherical speakers?

Spherical speakers only have one source for the sound. They use coaxial drivers where the bass and treble cones are mounted on top of each other. As a result the sound can expand in all directions. Moreover there are no square edges to cause refraction and phase errors. Therefore spherical speakers can fill a room with sound and make it unimportant where the listener is positioned.
