Six years after launching the first connected speaker from The Pearl Collection, French speaker maker Cabasse is adding the Pearl Myuki to its line-up.
The Pearl Myuki is a new portable, battery-powered, connected, ultra-compact, high-resolution active speaker being shown at High-End Munich 2024.
With a visually innovative spherical shape and compact size, the Myuki is designed to deliver sound that is both balanced and powerful. The built-in speaker system is capable of producing up to 109 dB SPL in stereo mode.
The drivers include a Dome 45 wideband speaker and two high-12 cm bass drivers arranged in a Push-Push layout, operating within a very compact enclosure. The drivers are equipped with honeycomb-structured membranes, ensuring precise, firm, and tight bass.
Practical Design
The spherical Pearl Myuki speaker 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.
With a diameter of 17 cm (6.7 inches) and weighing approximately 2 kilograms (4 lbs 10 oz), the Pearl Myuki comes with a handle that enables the speaker to be easily moved from room to room. For outdoor use, the included custom-made bag allows for hand or shoulder carrying.
