Cabasse Pearl Collection Speakers Receive AirPlay 2 Update
The Pearl Collection networked speakers by French firm Cabasse now benefits from Apple AirPlay thanks to the latest software update.
Cabasse's Pearl collection of speakers is now compatible with AirPlay which must be good news for fans of the fruity tech giant as, according to Cabasse, this update goes across the "widest range of high-end connected speakers on the market."
The 70th anniversary marking Pearl Pelegrina (below), The Pearl Keshi 2.1 system (above), as well as the Pearl, Applause Award-winning Pearl Akoya and Pearl Sub have all received the automatic update enabling Apple AirPlay 2 connectivity as long as you are running iOS 13.4 or later.
Furthermore, Cabasse's Stream 1, Stream Source, Stream Amp, Stream Bar, Stream Base and Stream 3 now also supports AirPlay as long as the speaker is paired (via the StreamCONTROL application) with a recent speaker from The Pearl Collection.
Additionally, suppose you own one of the older Stream products and speakers from The Pearl Collection. In that case, you will be able to group two speakers together via the StreamCONTROL application to use AirPlay with both speakers simultaneously.
To stream audio files with Apple AirPlay from an iPhone or iPad to a Cabasse product, go to the Control Center of your device and tap on the AirPlay icon. You can also stream audio from a Mac to Cabasse speakers (go to your settings in System Preferences/Sound, then select AirPlay) and play audio streams from iOS applications such as Apple Music. In addition, it's possible to choose one or more Cabasse products to stream the same audio to all speakers using AirPlay technology.
If two Cabasse speakers are used in stereo in the same room, grouping them together in the Cabasse StreamCONTROL application, rather than using the AirPlay multiroom feature, is recommended to enjoy stereo listening.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
