Cabasse RIALTO Overview

The Cabasse RIALTO system consists of two powered speakers that are linked together. One speaker is designated as the primary speaker and the other is the secondary speaker. 

Both speakers include built-in amplifiers and are required to be connected to AC power. However, there is no need to connect the speakers to an additional amplifier, stereo, or home theater receiver. The primary speaker includes a selection of audio input connections as well as a Bluetooth antenna. Audio signals can be transferred from the primary to the secondary speaker via Ethernet or Digital Optical connection link.

Key Features

Coaxial Speaker Design: Three speakers are placed on the same axis. This technology, developed by Cabasse allows all sound waves to spread out from a single source point so that they travel coherently and naturally, without interference and artificial coloring of the sound.

HELD: High Excursion Low Distortion woofers enable the RIALTO to deliver powerful, deep,  accurate, and distortion-free bass. 

DEAP (Digital Enhancements Acoustical Interface): This technology enhances the performance of the loudspeakers via a dynamic multi-band signal processing with feedback loops that allow to exploit all the available amplification power for a distortion-free rendering of the “peaks”.

Built-in Sound Calibration: Utilizing a built-in microphone, the RIALTO provides automatic room calibration. Also, the Cabasse Stream CONTROL app, provides additional listening personalization via optimization tools developed to fit users’ room environments and preferences.

HDMI-eARC: HDMI-eARC allows you to listen to TV sound and also control the volume of the RIALTO using the TV’s remote control. This makes the RIALTO a great soundbar alternative.

USB Input:  This allows playback of digital audio files via flash drives or other compatible devices. Compatible formats include MP3, AAC, WMA, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC, Ogg Vorbis, DSD 64/128, and WMA lossless

Bluetooth: The Bluetooth receiver supports aptX allowing for “CD-quality” audio streaming from compatible smartphones, tablets, and computers. Using Bluetooth, you can stream from compatible platforms.
