The total power of the amplifiers built into each monitor is 1050 watts – 300 watts each for the tweeter and midrange driver, plus 450 watts for the bass speaker. At the same time, the dimensions of the monitors are small – only 26 x 20.6 x 23.9 cm , but each of them weighs 19.5 kg .
Wireless connection is possible via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, an Ethernet port is provided for wired network integration. Physical terminals include optical input, HDMI eArc port, USB-A, and analog RCA.

The system is controlled through the Cabasse StreamCONTROL proprietary application , which contains all the main music services. In addition, the model has its own acoustic calibration system. The claimed frequency range extends from 30 to 27,000 Hz with a maximum sound pressure of 121 dB .
