Cabasse Speaker pack Riga 2 + subwoofer Pearl Sub matte black
Specifications and features
Overview
The Breton manufacturer Cabasse makes a strong impression with its 2.1 hi-fi system Riga 2 + Pearl Sub, a concentration of cutting-edge audio technologies wrapped in an elegant and discreet design. This pack, consisting of a pair of Riga 2 satellite speakers and the amplified and connected Pearl Sub subwoofer, promises an immersive and faithful sound experience, both for music and cinema.
An elegant and discreet design
The Riga 2 speakers, handcrafted in Cabasse’s workshops in Brittany, stand out for their ultra-compact size and refined aesthetics. Their spherical shape, twice as small as the Baltic model, allows them to blend harmoniously into any interior. The Pearl Sub subwoofer, on the other hand, adopts the aesthetic codes of the range with an impeccable finish that matches all styles.
Cutting-edge audio technology
At the heart of the Riga 2 + Pearl Sub system lies a true concentration of innovations. The Riga 2 speakers feature a 17 cm BC17 coaxial driver, ensuring exceptional sound coherence and stereo imaging. The Pearl Sub, the true brain of the system, acts as both an amplifier and a subwoofer. It incorporates a 25 cm HELD bass driver, powered by a 1000-watt RMS amplification module, capable of reproducing the lowest frequencies with surgical precision.
A connected and versatile system
The Pearl Sub does more than just amplify the speakers and reproduce bass. It also includes a powerful 4-core processor dedicated to digital signal processing (DSP), as well as the patented DEAP (Digital Enhancement of Acoustic Performance) technology, which optimizes the audio signal based on the connected speakers. The Pearl Sub also offers extensive connectivity with the most popular streaming services (Qobuz, Deezer, Spotify, Napster, Tidal), as well as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections, and integrates seamlessly into Cabasse’s StreamCONTROL multi-room system.
Comprehensive connectivity
The Pearl Sub subwoofer offers extensive connectivity with digital (SPDIF optical) and analog (RCA) inputs, as well as Ethernet and USB connections. It also features wireless connections via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, allowing music to be streamed from virtually any source.
In addition to its USB port compatible with MP3, AAC, WMA, AIFF, FLAC, and ALAC audio files, the Pearl Sub subwoofer also includes an RCA input and an optical digital input. This makes it possible to connect a CD player, a pre-amplified turntable, a Blu-Ray player, or even an HD television.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this system be used for watching movies?
Absolutely. This 2.1 system is perfectly suited for movies thanks to its extended dynamics and deep bass. The Pearl Sub goes down to 14 Hz, allowing you to physically feel the sound effects of action movies. While it is not a complete multichannel home cinema system, the sound quality and stereo imaging precision provide a convincing cinematic experience.
Can this system be integrated into a multi-room setup?
Yes, the Pearl Sub is compatible with Cabasse’s StreamCONTROL multi-room system. This allows you to synchronize music in multiple rooms equipped with compatible Cabasse products or play different content in each room, all controlled via the dedicated app.
How does the room acoustic correction work?
The system uses built-in microphones to analyze your room’s acoustics. It measures sound reflections, resonances, and room modes, then automatically adjusts the equalization settings to compensate for acoustic flaws. This process ensures optimal sound regardless of your listening space configuration.
Can the Riga 2 speakers be used with another amplifier?
Yes, the Riga 2 speakers can work with other amplifiers. With a nominal impedance of 8 ohms and a power handling of 150 watts RMS, they are compatible with most quality amplifiers. However, the automatic sound optimization via DEAP technology will only be available with the Pearl Sub.
