Six years after launching the very first connected speaker from The Pearl collection, now enriched with another 9 connected audio solutions, Cabasse unveiled The Pearl Myuki. This new model is an ultra-compact, portable, battery-powered, connected, high-resolution-capable active speaker that benefits from the French company’s best acoustic technologies. Cabasse anticipates availability from June 2024.
Like all its predecessors in The Pearl collection, despite its compact size, this new Cabasse speaker delivers a sound that is both exceptionally balanced and powerful. This is largely thanks to its new drivers, capable of producing up to 109 dB in stereo: a Dôme 45 wideband tweeter midrange and two 5″/12cm bass drivers arranged in a Push-Push layout, operating within a very compact enclosure. These high-excursion, low-frequency drivers are equipped with honeycomb-structured membranes, ensuring a tight bass.
“Users will be pleasantly surprised by the impact and depth of the sound produced by these new speakers,” Cabasse states in the announcement of The Pearl Myuki. Designed for those who seek quality sound at home or while traveling, with all the convenience of wireless, The Pearl Myuki incorporates technologies found in high-end Cabasse systems. These include high-resolution streaming, DFE adjustment (which optimizes the audio spectrum in real time based on the listening level, spectral content, and dynamics of the music), automatic CRCS room calibration to optimize sound within your space, and tonal spectrum adjustment.
The new The Pearl Myuki boasts a 12-hour battery life, allowing for cable-free use on a terrace or a weekend out. Another innovative feature is its Smart Wi-Fi capability, ensuring uninterrupted music playback when switching between Wi-Fi networks (5GHz, 2.4GHz, or Mesh).
With The Pearl Myuki, users can also opt to acquire two units for enhanced stereo mode by pairing them, delivering a combined power close to 200 watts RMS. Those already equipped with a Cabasse connected speaker can integrate The Pearl Myuki into their current system for multiroom use in mono or stereo. It serves as an ideal complement in settings like kitchens, offices, or bedrooms, especially when paired with another The Pearl speaker located elsewhere in the house. Additionally, all Cabasse connected systems can be easily paired and controlled via the unique StreamCONTROL application, allowing for NAS use or Airplay 2 compatibility.
Versatile, The Pearl Myuki offers comprehensive connectivity, enabling connection to a TV, turntable, CD player, or NAS via its optical cable. It features an Ethernet port and a 3.5mm jack on the back, as well as the ability to play content from a USB/USB-C drive. It’s built-in DAC is able to play and decode all major digital formats, including support for DSD 64/128 and WMA lossless.
“With its lifestyle design featuring rounded shapes, The Pearl Myuki is an elegant jewel of a speaker that seamlessly integrates into any interior decor. It’s available in matte black or matte white finishes with chrome bezels and details in black or silver. Additionally, its woofers feature an embossed Lissajous pattern, adding a touch of sophistication to its aesthetic appeal,” Cabasse details about the design.
The Pearl Myuki can be easily moved from room to room thanks to its discreet integrated handle. For outdoor use, it comes with a custom-made bag, which allows for hand or shoulder carrying. Additionally, the speaker can be mounted on the wall using a compatible Cabasse wall bracket. In terms of ergonomics, The Pearl Myuki features 6 illuminated LED tactile keys with discreet haptic feedback, making control effortless (source/play, pause/volume/power).
Cabasse was founded in 1950 by Georges Cabasse, driven by research and the desire to constantly innovate. Cabasse invented and developed the coaxial speaker technology and in 2018 launched The Pearl Collection of high-resolution connected active speakers. Cabasse is 42.27% owned by VEOM Group, a leading European smart home pioneer in multiroom and streaming technologies (formely AwoX).
