Cabasse distributor, Connected Distribution, will use The Indulgence Show to unveil the latest version of the Cabasse flagship loudspeakers, the £125,000 La Sphère, to the audiophile and lifestyle visitors attending the new London show.
Working with the French designer and architect, Sylvain Dubuisson, Cabasse has produced La Sphère, which features a 70cm spherical enclosure, manufactured from composite materials originally designed for the European space programme, and a helical die-cast aluminium stand, which positions the centre of the speaker at the perfect height for listening.
Standing 1.4m tall, La Sphère has a three-way TCA (Tri Coaxial Aramide) drive unit and a 55cm (22”) woofer, which are co-axially mounted and digitally controlled. It is touted as the world’s only true point-source four-way speaker, with one acoustic centre, absolute linear phase, optimum impulse response and perfect spatial coherency.
La Sphère is supplied with digital signal processing electronics that handle high-resolution music signals, actively control the crossover points and the time alignement of the four acoustic centres. 4,800 watts of digital amplifiers complete the package. Standard finishes are pearl and black pearl, but any finish can be supplied at a premium price. Delivery of La Sphère is accompanied by a Cabasse acoustician, who adapts the response of the digital parametric filters to perfectly suit the user’s room.
See and hear La Sphère in the Epernay Room, Champagne Suite, demonstrated by Christophe Cabasse. The Indulgence Show, Novotel London West, 14-16 October.
