Intuitive Control, Effortless Streaming

A newly developed streaming client provides instant access to services like Gracenote Musik ID, Airable Music, Spotify Connect, and Amazon Alexa. Behind its exceptional sound is a powerful active speaker design and the latest generation digital signal processors, optimising frequency response, phase, and dispersion for a natural, balanced sound throughout the room. Fine-tuning is easy, with adjustable bass, mid, treble, and an effective loudness function for listening at any level.
Connections & Versatility
The Caruso offers a wide range of connections, making it as flexible as it is powerful. Use it as a complete compact system or expand it into the heart of a full HiFi setup with a subwoofer or active speakers. Two analogue inputs support a turntable or other sources, while digital inputs connect seamlessly to your TV or set-top box. Built-in aerials handle Bluetooth, WLAN, and FM/DAB+ radio with superb clarity, and external aerial support ensures even greater performance. With LAN, WLAN, and USB inputs, the Caruso automatically detects your streaming sources and brings your music library and online media to life.
Acoustic Architecture
The Caruso delivers powerful, distortion-free bass through a high-performance driver supported by dual passive radiators, while newly developed midrange and treble units with dome tweeters provide crystal-clear vocals and airy highs. Each driver is powered by its own amplifier stage and refined by a loss-free DSP, creating a spacious, three-dimensional soundstage. Built on T+A’s rigid Aluminium Framework, the Caruso remains resonance-free even at high volumes, ensuring deep bass, balanced clarity, and natural sound in any space.
