Cabasse Eole 4 — Satellite Speaker
Compact, high-efficiency coaxial satellite for immersive home cinema and precise music playback.
Overview
Do check out my personal review on the Eole 4.
The Cabasse Eole 4 satellite is a compact 2-way coaxial loudspeaker designed for home cinema packages and small-room Hi-Fi systems. It pairs a soft-dome tweeter with a dedicated mid/low driver built into a coaxial arrangement to deliver coherent spatial imaging and natural mid/high reproduction — making it ideal for 5.1 systems and discreet on-wall or bookshelf installations. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Key Features
- 2-way coaxial design: compact and phase-coherent point source.
- 29 mm soft-dome tweeter paired with a 100 mm mid/low (P2C) driver. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Wide usable frequency range suitable for front/side/rear channels in home cinema. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- High sensitivity (≈90 dB) for efficient performance with moderately powered amplifiers. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- Nominal impedance 8 Ω (minimum impedance ~4 Ω) — compatible with most AV receivers. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- Magnetically shielded for placement near TVs and video displays. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
- Multiple installation options: on-wall, bookshelf, stand or in-ceiling variants/packs. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Notes: Some reseller pages and installation versions report small variations (e.g., sensitivity listed as 88–90 dB or frequency response 135–20,000 Hz) depending on measurement method and product packaging (satellite alone vs. packaged 5.1 kit). Refer to the official Cabasse datasheet/manual for precise factory figures for your region. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Installation & Recommended Use
The compact Eole 4 satellites are intended for flexible use: on-wall mounting for low-visual impact home cinema, bookshelf or stands for two-channel setups, and as discreet surround or height channels in multi-channel systems. Because the satellites are magnetically shielded, they are safe for placement near CRT/legacy displays and modern TVs. For optimal performance pair them with Cabasse’s Lipari subwoofer (e.g., Lipari 21) or a suitable subwoofer to cover the low-frequency extension. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
Amp & Room Compatibility
- Best used with AV receivers or amplifiers that can comfortably drive an 8 Ω load (typical AVR and Hi-Fi amps are fine).
- High sensitivity (~90 dB) means they are efficient and suitable with modest amplifier power, but the limited low-frequency extension makes a subwoofer essential for full-range home cinema impact. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
