CABASSE EGEA 3 - User manual

IDEA
Only through the technological application of the SCS principles is it possible to endow such
small satellites with the fundamental characteristics shared by all our loudspeakers: linearity,
consistency, dynamic range, power handling and full spatial coherency. Fitted with a co-axial
unit made of a 13 cm Duocell midrange-woofer and a rigid dome tweeter, iO2, combined with
the Santorin 25 subwoofer, presents a truly compact audio-video system, with perfect interior
design integration and absolute high-fidelity.

The new Bora, Egea 3 and Iroise 3 are fitted with a modified version of the BC13 coaxial midrange-tweeter used in the 4-way concentric driver
of the “La Sphère” reference system. The coherency of the BC13 combined with the dynamic range and transparency of the Duocell woofers
reproduces timbres with true fidelity, without fatigue and with a matchless realism and depth of soundstage. Altura MC, classical looking
speakers with purity of design and innovative Cabasse technical solutions.
Fitted with the bC12 co-axial unit between 2 Duocell midrange-woofers, Ki provides a truly engaging
reproduction of voices wherever you are sitting - “SCS obliges again”! with the low-end support from a Thor 2
or a Santorin 30, the Ki system will provide every audio-video lover with high-definition looks and sound.

Journey through spatial coherency.
Fidelity to original timbres and dynamic range, a wide, stable and full soundstage, these
are the benefits of SCS (Spatially Coherent System) technology.
Imagine three stones hitting the surface of a lake at three different points. The created
waves will mix and propagate erratically. Now imagine three stones hitting the surface
at the same point, the waves grow and spread harmoniously. This single source emission
is the benefit of the co-axial drivers and wide-range tweeters designed by the Cabasse
R&D team.
The listening experience will take you to the heights of emotion.
Listen to the SCS difference
Dom25/13F15, BC12, BC13…these cold, technical names refer to the drive units that are the source of your emotional
enjoyment of music. All the loudspeakers in the Idea ranges feature Cabasse’s latest innovations in co-axial technology
and spatial coherency.
Classical or modern; choose your loudspeakers for a perfect match with your interior décor. Whatever your choice, every
system will offer the same sound signature, the one that has made Cabasse a worldwide reference among fans of live music
for more than 60 years.
