CABASSE RIALTO IS THEIR FIRST WIRELESS HIFI SYSTEM IN A BOOKSHELF FORMAT

French HiFi brand Cabasse launch the Cabasse Rialto, connected audio in a wireless compact bookshelf system.

Cabasse has announced the Rialto, the first Cabasse connected active speakers in a classic bookshelf format.

The result of the brand’s integration of the latest software connectivity technologies developed by Cabasse Group’s R&D teams, these compact speakers are named Rialto, after the oldest bridge in Venice to symbolise the junction between traditional HiFi and the connected technologies developed over the last ten years by Cabasse. It comprises two connected active speakers, in a compact bookshelf format, with soft and rounded lines.

CABASSE INNOVATIONS

Rialto features several Cabasse innovations including the patented HELD (High Excursion Low Distortion) woofers with a diameter of only 17 cm.

Cabasse coaxial technology, developed by Cabasse as early as 1952 and constantly improved since then, allows all sound waves to spread out from a single source point and features three speakers disposed on the same axis.

Patented DEAP (Digital Enhancement of Acoustical Performance) technology developed by the Cabasse R&D teams enhances the performance of the loudspeakers via a dynamic multiband signal processing with feedback loops that allow to exploit all the available amplification power.

CALIBRATED SOUND

With its built-in microphone, the Cabasse Rialto system has been designed and developed to deliver optimal listening quality, thanks to Cabasse’s patented automatic room calibration.

With the Cabasse Stream CONTROL application, users will be able to further personalize their sound through optimization tools developed to fit their homes and preferences.

MULTI ROOM

To bring high-end sound to every room in the house, users can group Rialto with other Cabasse connected systems, including the lifestyle THE PEARL range. It is, therefore, possible to create zones to listen to different sources (Streaming, TV, Turntable, etc.) from anywhere in the house.

While Rialto offers the ability to listen to all your sources and music platforms in stereo, it also includes a TV jack that allows you to connect for TV programs and movies. You can also control the volume with your TV remote control when your speakers are connected to it via the integrated e-ARC technology.

CABASSE RIALTO STYLING

The subtle and refined design that can be easily integrated into your environment, Rialto is available in white or satin black.  Its 13 cm co-axial carbon fibre midrange tweeter is surrounded by a brushed aluminium frame. A chrome base elevates the speaker. There is also a magnetized metal grille to protect the driver.

On its main speaker, Rialto has a touch screen control, convenient and useful, whether to simply increase or decrease the volume with its rotation ring, change its sources, or add or modify its favourite radios, without having to go through the application. The colour LCD video screen also displays the jackets of the albums being played. As it is standard with Cabasse connected systems, software updates will allow the screen interface to evolve.
