Cabasse Pack 5.1 Alcyone 3 matte white

Presentation of the Cabasse 5.1 Alcyone 3 Pack

The 5.1 Alcyone 3 Pack from the French brand Cabasse is a set of high-end compact speakers designed to offer an immersive and high-quality home theater experience in a discreet and elegant format. This pack consists of 5 spherical Alcyone 3 satellite speakers and a Santorin 17M2 subwoofer.

Technology and Acoustic Performance

Despite their small size, the Alcyone 3 speakers deliver astonishing sound performance thanks to Cabasse’s exclusive technology:

• Each satellite is equipped with a 10 cm 8T15M wideband coaxial speaker with a cellulose fiber membrane. This unique transducer reproduces the entire audio spectrum from 160 Hz to 20 kHz with great precision.

• The spherical shape of the speakers, combined with SCS (Spatially Coherent Source) technology, ensures wide and homogeneous sound dispersion as well as optimal spatial coherence. The sound is thus spatialized naturally and realistically.

• With a sensitivity of 87 dB and a power handling of 50 W RMS (350 W peak), the Alcyone 3 delivers beautiful dynamics without distortion even at high volume.

The Santorin 17M2 subwoofer is also very efficient:

• Its 17 cm cellulose membrane speaker is housed in an optimized closed volume. Combined with a 100 W RMS amplifier (200 W peak), it delivers deep, fast, and powerful bass down to 32 Hz.

• Its active filter allows precise adjustment of the cutoff frequency (160 Hz) for optimal integration with the satellites. A phase inverter is also present.

• The downward-facing bass-reflex design ensures homogeneous bass distribution in the room.

Installation and Connectivity

The 5.1 configuration includes 3 front channels (left, center, right), 2 rear surround channels (left and right), and an LFE channel for bass effects. For optimal rendering, it is recommended to position the front satellites at ear height, the center under the screen, and the surrounds slightly elevated and oriented towards the listeners. The subwoofer ideally finds its place at the front, near a wall.

Versatility and Sound Quality

Primarily designed for home theater, the 5.1 Alcyone 3 Pack excels in this area. Thanks to its precise spatialization, high dynamics, and deep bass, it reproduces movie soundtracks with great realism. Surround effects are perfectly localized, dialogues are highly intelligible, and action scenes are very impactful.

But this Cabasse pack also performs well with music. The coherence between the satellites and the subwoofer, combined with the low directivity of the Alcyone spheres, provides a beautiful homogeneity over a wide sweet spot. The timbres are natural, the soundstage ample and stable. From classical music to rock, jazz, or electro, all styles are reproduced with accuracy and energy.

Finally, the Alcyone 3 Pack also delivers excellent results in multichannel gaming. Its precise source positioning and responsiveness provide total immersion in video games and a definite advantage in FPS.
