The L’Océan 4-way speakers have built-in a new 30 cm woofer with a honeycomb dome diaphragm combined with the TC23, the 3-way coaxial unit of the reference system La Sphère. 4 digital amplifiers from 250 watts to 1000 watts are integrated in the base. They contribute in providing a high 117 dB sound pressure level with no distortion. The electronic unit of both loudspeakers is connected to the CRCS controller with SPDIF digital links.

The audio signal is carried full digital from the source to the amplifiers in the speakers. The controller includes a preamplifier section with 96 kHz digital inputs and analog inputs. Analog signals are digitalized before processing and transfer to the speakers.

Each loudspeaker is fitted with a phase linear digital filter. It optimizes the frequency response thanks to precise and variable cross-over slopes (up to 94 dB per octave) and an accurate time alignment allowing to create a true point source system.

Cabasse added the CRCS (Cabasse Room Compensation System) hardware and software to the L’Océan system, for easy automatic adaptation to the acoustics of the room through parametric modules. For natural and minimum corrections, the software takes into account psych-acoustic parameters and the specific characteristics of the speakers involved.

By joining the acoustical mastery of Cabasse, the competence in electronics and industrial know-how of Canon and their complementary expertise in digital signal processing, Cabasse can propose for the first time a fully digital intelligent system. A masterpiece, another milestone in our strategy for excellence.
