Like all systems of the French company, Cabasse Jersey differs by exceptionally high power reserve (nominal power is 100W, peak - 700W). Add to this a record value of sensitivity - 95,5 dB... Big magnets, cast metallic baskets, lightweight paper diffusers tell own tale of capabilities of LF/MF-drivers. Large polymer dome of the tweeter is in the base of a small horn. Heavy body is equipped with horizontal strut and richly muted by felted absorber. Crossover (LF/MF section is of second order, HF - of the third) is assembled on the high-voltage capacitors and induced coils with E-shaped open cores. The connection is two-wire.
How dare Cabasse put electrochemical capacitors in a crossover filter ?! It's such a huge step down from the quality standard of his historical loudspeakers from the '60s to the '90s !
Non-polarised electrolytics actually have very low noise and distortion and offer surprising performance in a small package. Rubycon Black Gates being the rather obvious example. Them, aside there are often parts of a passive crossover where you need large value capacitors and NP electrolytics work just fine.
@@DoNaSbaR Film capacitors, be them polyester or polypropylene, are better on all this parameters : noise and (especially) distortion, as countless reports from Douglas Self, Cyril Bateman and others have demonstrated over decades, and they do have way more accurate and stable capacitance over time than electrochemical capacitors. Last but not least, their service life is much more longer. Yes they are massive compared to electrochemical caps and I acknowledged that they are the only convenient solution where space matter above all, but for all other purposes, film caps are definitely the best way to go for high end products and performances. In the past, Cabasse never mind to put high capacitance film caps or paralleled smaller capacitance film caps in the cross-over network of even the most affordable loudspeakers of its range.
@@scytales2548 Ok, I totally agree with you, but nothing prevents us from using electrolytic capacitors in situations that do not demand a too tight requirement in relation to a final result (in sound reproduction) where hardly anyone will detect any imperfection or audible distortion. Only the "ears" of an oscilloscope can do. In electronics as in life, everything is nothing but an endless compromise situations. And in the World , as we know, nothing is perfect. Best regards and thanks for introducing me two people I didn't know: Mr. Douglas Self and Mr. Cyril Bateman from whom I start reading about.

J'adore mes enceintes Cabasse Molene. J'adore la façon dont ils chantent.
cabasse luxury👍👍👍😎
Thanks again for the great video haxos, can you tell if this is a better speaker from the Polk R200 or klipsch RP600m?
Cabasse jersey con quale amplificatore vanno bene? Grazie
Les cabasse sont très homogène
