THE NEW TRIANGLE CAPELLA ACTIVE STREAMING SYSTEM COMES WITH A WISA STEREO HUB AND OPTIONAL TURNTABLE
The new Triangle Capella loudspeakers are designed as connected streaming system with a compact Stereo Hub.
The Triangle Capella is Bluetooth and Wi-Fi compatible (Airplay, Chromecast, UPnP/DLNA, Roon Ready), the Stereo Hub communicates wirelessly with the speakers using WISA technology.
TRIANGLE CAPELLA STEREO HUB
The compact stereo hub is the central point of the Capella system. It concentrates all inputs, whether wireless, integrating Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technologies, analogue or digital wired connection. This compact, remote-controlled box centralises all your audio sources via HMDI, USB, optical, RCA and more. The Stereo Hub has the following wired connections; 1 x HDMI (ARC/CEC), 1 x RCA Stereo, 1 x Coaxial, 1 x USB-B, 3 x Optical SPDIF and 1 x Jack Stereo / Optical.
The Triangle Capella system uses WiSA wireless audio transmission technology, so you can place the speakers anywhere in your home. Any audio source, whether from a streaming service or connected to one of the system’s inputs, is managed by the WiSA compatible Stereo Hub. which then streams the signal to your high-resolution speakers with, say Triangle, no noticeable latency. This means you can place the Stereo Hub close to your AV equipment (TV, turntable, computer, etc.) and freely position the speakers around the room.
TRIANGLE CAPELLA LOUDSPEAKERS
The Triangle Capella active speakers benefit from a total power output of 2x100W. Each driver has its own converter and a dedicated 50W amplification circuit. A next-generation digital signal processor (DSP) constantly monitors driver behaviour to reach the system’s full potential, particularly in the low frequencies. The crossover is digitally controlled, ensuring a linear frequency response.
AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION
The Triangle Capella system adapts to your room. The room acoustics and the placement of your speakers will have a major impact on your listening experience. Thanks to the automatic calibration technology, you can easily make measurements in your listening room, the Triangle Capella app then adjusts the sound response of the speakers to adapt to the room.
OPTIONAL ZEN MIC
The wireless ZEN microphone available as an option, enables precise measurement during the automatic calibration of your Triangle Capella system. It collects the data and transmits them to the app, which then analyzes and corrects them.
For even greater sound customization, the app offers a wide range of settings to optimize the sound reproduction of your speakers. Control the response curve directly, by increasing or decreasing selected frequency ranges, so your sound matches your expectations as closely as possible.
Room calibration is available with Apple devices’ built-in microphones, while Android phones/tablets require the use of a Zen microphone. The Zen microphone available for purchase at the price of €125 VAT
FOUR FINISH COLOURS
Triangle Capella is available in four finishes: Brown Nebula, Asrtal Blue, Black Star and Space White. Underneath the lacquer is a burr walnut, with wood grains gradually revealing before disappearing in a paint gradation. The speakers have accents of Champagne-finish anodized aluminium.
LUNAR THREE TURNTABLE
Triangle has partnered with Pro-Ject to build Lunar 3. The Turntable features a phono preamplifier enabling direct connection to the “Stereo Hub”.
All materials, from the wooden structure and steel platter to the carbon tonearm and the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, have been carefully selected to ensure accurate playback and to absorb any vibrations that might alter the sound.
TRIANGLE CAPELLA DRIVERS
The Triangle Capella drivers benefit from the acoustic expertise and research carried out on the limited 40th anniversary edition of the Esprit range.
The horn-loaded tweeter deploys the new 25mm magnesium alloy dome and a matched phase plug. The bass/midrange section is handled by a 16cm driver using a cellulose pulp membrane, a distinctive feature of Triangle speakers.
The Triangle Capella speakers are mounted on an aluminium base to enable unobstructed airflow around the port. This ensures even distribution of low frequencies and allows easy placement of your speakers in your room.
Triangle Capella include proprietary DVAS technology, which consists of using a perforated reinforcement of the cabinet which is pushed against the driver by means of a damping material, thus stiffening the cabinet. The shape of this reinforcement allows optimized airflow from the port. The rounded shape of the cabinetry combined with the sculpted structure of the rims surrounding each driver attenuate the sound disruptions transmitted to the listener.
STANDS
Triangle recommends the S05 supports, the base of the speaker fits perfectly on the upper plate. The S05 is available in different finishes to match your system: Black, White, Blue and Dark Wood.
