Cabasse, one of the leading names in French high-fidelity since 1950, has announced SWELL, the company’s first wireless portable speaker.

With more than 67 years of experience in high-fidelity acoustics, Cabasse has used its expertise to develop its first wireless, travelling speaker that they say offers the pure, dynamic and wholly natural “Cabasse signature” sound. Built with a state-of-the-art digital amplifier and fine-tuned in the Cabasse studios in France, SWELL is equipped with four speaker drivers and has a complete audio range.

The user simply connects a smartphone or tablet directly to the speaker via Bluetooth using the NFC connection technology, or manual pairing, and can instantly listen to all their playlists, streaming services or favourite web radio stations. It’s even possible to connect a turntable (equipped with a phono preamp) or a CD player to the auxiliary input, to expand the music choice to all formats. Two SWELL speakers can be paired together to create a 120 watt stereo system.

Compact and easy to carry, SWELL is low weight (750g) with 10 hours of non-stop music from its rechargeable battery.It has an understated elegant design which is available in black or white. Its sturdy structure and metallic grill provide durability.

The SWELL will be available in the UK during November 2017 and will have a MSRP of £229.
