T+A Caruso All-in-One Music System (open box)

Premium all-in-one HiFi system featuring 200 watts of continuous amplification, seven integrated loudspeaker drivers, CD playback, high-resolution music streaming, and a 7-inch HD touchscreen.

The T+A Caruso combines the performance of a sophisticated stereo system with the convenience of a single, beautifully engineered component. Designed and manufactured in Germany, this compact all-in-one music system integrates active loudspeakers, dedicated amplification, a CD player, network streaming, Bluetooth, internet radio, and comprehensive digital connectivity.

Its 200-watt active amplifier system, seven-driver acoustic architecture, and advanced digital signal processing deliver powerful bass, natural vocals, and detailed stereo reproduction without requiring external speakers or amplification.

The Caruso is an elegant solution for living rooms, offices, bedrooms, and dedicated listening spaces where premium sound and refined design are equally important.

Seven-Driver Active Speaker System

The Caruso employs a sophisticated two-channel active loudspeaker architecture with seven integrated acoustic drivers and radiators.

The system incorporates:

• 1 × 6.7-inch (170mm) long-throw aluminum-cone woofer

• 2 × 6.7-inch (170mm) passive bass radiators

• 2 × 100 × 40mm high-performance midrange drivers

• 2 × 20mm fabric-dome tweeters

The downward-firing woofer works with two side-mounted passive radiators to produce substantial low-frequency output from the compact enclosure.

Dedicated left and right midrange/tweeter assemblies are angled outward to create a spacious stereo presentation.

200 Watts of Active Amplification

Three integrated power amplifiers provide 200 watts of continuous power and 300 watts of peak output.

The amplification system consists of:

• 100 watts for the bass system

• 50 watts for the left midrange/high-frequency section

• 50 watts for the right midrange/high-frequency section

Each amplifier is directly coupled to its corresponding loudspeaker section, eliminating the need for conventional passive crossover components between the amplifier and drivers.

A precision digital signal processor manages crossover frequencies, phase alignment, frequency response, and driver protection.

Integrated CD Player

The Caruso features a precision slot-loading CD mechanism positioned above its touchscreen display.

A playback buffer exceeding 20 seconds helps maintain stable disc reproduction.

Supported formats include audio CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, WMA, and CD Text.

The integrated CD player delivers a specified frequency response of 2Hz–20kHz, allowing listeners to enjoy physical music collections alongside contemporary streaming services.

Music Streaming and AirPlay 2

The Caruso's integrated network streaming platform provides access to a wide range of digital music sources.

Supported services and technologies include:

• TIDAL

• Qobuz

• Deezer

• Spotify Connect

• Amazon Music through Alexa

• Apple AirPlay 2

• DLNA network music playback

• Internet radio through airable

Compatible network audio formats include FLAC, WAV, ALAC, AAC, MP3, Vorbis, and WMA.

Wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity provide flexible integration with home networks.

7-Inch HD Touchscreen and NavigatorOS

The Caruso incorporates a large 7-inch HD touchscreen running T+A's NavigatorOS interface.

The display provides convenient access to music sources, streaming services, album artwork, radio stations, and system settings.

Control options include the touchscreen, supplied rechargeable remote control, and T+A CarusoNavigator app for compatible iOS and Android devices.

Gracenote Music ID provides music information for supported content.

Bluetooth with aptX

Bidirectional Bluetooth connectivity enables wireless audio transmission between the Caruso and compatible devices.

Supported Bluetooth audio codecs include:

• aptX

• AAC

• SBC

• MP3

The bidirectional design allows the Caruso to receive audio from compatible mobile devices or transmit audio to compatible Bluetooth headphones.

FM, DAB+ and Internet Radio

The Caruso integrates three radio listening options.

Its FM tuner supports broadcasts from 87.5–108MHz, while the DAB+ tuner supports compatible digital radio broadcasts in Band III.

Internet radio access through airable provides thousands of stations worldwide.

DAB+ and FM availability depend on regional broadcasting services and compatible antenna reception.

Analog and Digital Connectivity

The Caruso offers connectivity for external audio components and compatible televisions.

Inputs include:

• 2 × Stereo RCA analog inputs

• 1 × Coaxial S/PDIF digital input

• 1 × Optical Toslink digital input

• 1 × USB 2.0 storage input

• Ethernet and Wi-Fi networking

The analog inputs accommodate sources such as external DACs or turntables equipped with a phono preamplifier.

The optical and coaxial inputs allow compatible televisions, media players, and other digital sources to use the Caruso's integrated speaker system.

Outputs include stereo RCA preamplifier, RCA subwoofer, and a 3.5mm headphone connection.

DSP Sound Management and Subwoofer Integration

T+A's digital signal processing system provides adjustments for bass, midrange, treble, and loudness.

Selectable sound characteristics help optimize playback for different placement positions and room conditions.

A dedicated subwoofer output allows integration with an external powered subwoofer, with adjustable bass management from 40Hz to 150Hz.

Stereo preamplifier outputs also allow the Caruso to connect to additional active loudspeakers or an external audio system.

Aluminum Framework Construction

The Caruso's enclosure is built around T+A's proprietary Aluminum Framework, a rigid extruded-aluminum structural assembly.

This design provides mechanical stability, reduces cabinet resonance, and maximizes internal acoustic volume.

Despite measuring only 10.6 inches high and 11.4 inches wide, the Caruso weighs approximately 26.5 pounds, reflecting its substantial internal construction.

The exterior combines a black enclosure with silver top and bottom panels, complemented by adjustable ambient base lighting.
