Germany’s T+A has announced the upcoming release of its latest Caruso all-in-one music system. Built for modern audiophiles, the third generation compact unit is said to generate “a phenomenally well-balanced, natural and clear sound image in the whole listening area.”
The Caruso measures 11.4 x 11.4 x 10.6 inches (29 x 29 x 27 cm) and tips the scales at 26.5 lb (12 kg). Within its aluminum chassis are three amplifiers that provide the 170-mm long throw woofer with 100 watts of continuous power and 50 watts to each of two speaker sets containing mid/high drivers. T+A is promising ultra-wide dispersion, and reports a frequency response of 200 Hz to over 30 kHz, and low distortion of 0.02 percent.
There’s a subwoofer output should you want to cable up an external thunder-thumper, and the all-in-one also has connections for additional active loudspeakers. Other connectivity shapes up as analog and digital inputs, together with USB, Ethernet LAN and 802.11n Wi-Fi. And a “very effective” loudness function is on tap, there’s bass, mid-range and treble adjustment, and a number of different sound profiles can be called upon to best suit different positions in a room.
