Alcyone is also a star,
more precisely a group
of stars made of a main
one surrounded by tiny
satellites. It shines like
no other, with 1400 times
the power of the Sun.
When astronomy meets
sound Acyone arises.
ALCYONE
Miniature
Spheres
only
4 inches in diameter ,
the new Alcyone satellites feature all the acoustical
qualities of any Cabasse system: efficiency,
power handling, transparency and stability
of the sound stage.
The Alcyone satellites
are fitted with new
wide bandwidth drivers
designed according
to the Cabasse SCS
(Spatially Coherent
System) principles. Integration, orientation, satisfaction
Alcyone satellites either can be placed on a shelf, mounted on the wall, or afixed atop the
optional stands. The stand hides the speaker wire which is threaded through one of the stand’s
rod supports. The magnetic base can be used for shelf or wall mounting so the speaker
can be easily oriented in any direction for ultimate flexibility in placement.
The Alcyone 5.1 system consists of one Santorin 17 subwoofer (7» woofer
and 100 W amplifier), 5 satellites ready for bookshelf or on-wall use,
and a complete set of interconnect cables.
Simple to install,
easy to enjoy.
The Alcyone satellite has a new wide bandwidth high-efficiency driver for acoustic linearity,
high output, and full spatial coherency, just like the rest of the Cabasse spherical line.
This driver has been designed in the Cabasse Acoustic Center in France especially
for the small spherical Alcyone enclosure.
