Cabasse THE PEARL: active high-resolution connected speaker
THE PEARL, the connected co-axial speaker
This unique, active high-resolution connected speaker from Cabasse is the result of years of expertise and technological breakthroughs, mostly used in the iconic LA SPHERE speaker. With its refined and powerful design, its incomparable tri-coaxial speaker brings exceptional acoustics and meets the expectations of the most demanding audiophiles. THE PEARL is recommended for spaces larger than 35 m2.
ELEGANt AND NOBLE MATERIALS
THE PEARL is a decorative French-designed speaker faithful to Cabasse’s trademark in terms of aesthetics, purity of sound and power. THE PEARL is equipped with the most efficient materials: its membranes are built from carbon fiber and fiberglass, the dissipators and drivers from aluminum, it’s casing from reinforced composite fiber double shell adorned with pure “Chromium” rings and a metal grid cover in the front. The Pearl is available in a metallic black or pearl white finish
Pure Cabasse sound
THE PEARL features our new 25 cm subwoofer with up to 30 mm of long linear cone excursion to deliver the richest and most dynamic level of bass available on the market. Audio playback is simply spectacular thanks to Cabasse dynamic bass control.
The patented triaxial configuration of the subwoofer + medium + tweeter drivers offer compact design, powerful performance and sophisticated 360° response. The overdeveloped thermal radiator ensures an optimal range of dynamic sound with little distortion even at high volumes.
Finally, the new coaxial midrange tweeter is built from patented components: medium carbon and neodymium.
A custom-built floorstand is available for THE PEARL
A wall support bracket is available to mount THE PEARL to any wall.

The Pearl pairs deep, tuneful low end with a refined, natural midrange and extended treble, courtesy of a compact triaxial design and a 25cm woofer with >30mm excursion. Its spherical cabinet and automatic room‑calibration deliver coherent soundstage imaging and faithful, ultra‑pure acoustics, as noted by StereoNET United Kingdom and Best of High End.
Pros
- Exceptionally deep, controlled bass from the 25cm woofer with more than 30mm excursion, delivering extension down toward 14Hz for a compact speaker.
- Coaxial mid/tweeter and compact triaxial layout produce natural, bodyful mids and extended, non‑harsh highs with coherent imaging.
- Rich feature set — CRCS automatic room calibration, multi‑room Cabasse StreamCONTROL, high‑res streaming and multiple physical inputs — makes integration flexible.

Cons
- Premium pricing places The Pearl firmly in high‑end territory, which may limit accessibility for budget‑conscious buyers.
Sound Quality
92/100
Bass
94/100
Reviewers repeatedly highlight the 25 cm woofer with >30 mm excursion, claim extension to 14 Hz and describe "exceptional", "most dynamic & rich bass on the market." Given the large 13" driver in a compact enclosure, the bass performance rates as exceptional for its size and is repeatedly praised in the reviews.
Mid
92/100
Coaxial mid/tweeter architecture and multiple reviewers call out "ultra-pure acoustics" and "perfect restitution" with faithful brand signature. Vocals and midrange timbre are described as natural and bodyful, supporting a high score.
Treble
91/100
Cabasse notes a smooth frequency response to 27 kHz and reviewers report no harshness, coloration or directivity issues. The coaxial carbon tweeter is described as refined and extended, giving strong high-frequency performance.
Soundstage Imaging
91/100
The compact triaxial/spherical design is repeatedly praised for spatial coherence; reviewers note excellent stereo imaging when pairing two Pearls and describe the form as ideal for a coherent soundfield.
Dynamics
92/100
Very high available amplification (specs and copy reference "Formula 1" loudness) and reviewers emphasise dynamic, punchy bass and overall authority. Dynamics are strong across micro and macro scales for this class.
Show Less
Build Quality
92/100
Reviews describe meticulous finishes (multiple lacquer layers), reinforced double shell, carbon membranes and premium fit-and-finish. Construction and aesthetic execution are consistently praised.
Features Connectivity
95/100
Extensive modern connectivity: Ethernet/Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, optical SPDIF, RCA analog, USB for external drives, multi-room Cabasse StreamCONTROL, CRCS automatic room calibration, and voice assistant compatibility — reviewers emphasise the broad, high‑res streaming and integration features.
Value for Money
78/100
Price listed at 4,495 (product data) places this in high-end territory; reviewers praise exceptional sound and finish but do not frame it as a "best value" bargain. Strong performance and features justify the cost for buyers seeking high-end compact active speakers, but it is a premium purchase.
