Triangle expands the BOREA CONNECT Series with a striking new Burgundy finish for the BR02 CONNECT and BR03 CONNECT. The compact active speakers retain their established feature set, offering flexible integration from desktop setups to TV audio. With the new colourway, the series grows to seven design variants, providing broader aesthetic compatibility for modern living spaces.

Story Highlights
  • The new Burgundy Edition brings a richer, more expressive look to Triangle’s popular BR02 CONNECT and BR03 CONNECT models. With unchanged electronics and full feature parity, the update focuses entirely on enhancing interior compatibility and visual character.

Triangle Electroacoustique has built a reputation for active loudspeakers that combine compact form factors with broad usability, and the BOREA CONNECT Series stands as one of the brand’s most accessible lines. The BR02 CONNECT and BR03 CONNECT, in particular, are designed for everyday audio scenarios ranging from desktop environments to bedrooms and even living-room TV use. The new Burgundy Edition extends the design palette of the series, offering a deeper, more expressive finish aimed at contemporary interior styling while leaving the technical foundation untouched.

Burgundy Edition – A Design Update with Strong Visual Identity

The Burgundy Edition introduces a richer, more atmospheric aesthetic to the BOREA CONNECT lineup. The combination of a deep red front panel and a warm teak veneer enclosure results in a finish that feels both contemporary and timeless. This colourway aligns with current interior design preferences, offering an option that blends easily with modern furniture while maintaining the understated geometric design language that characterizes the entire series. As the technical platform remains unchanged, the update is solely visual—yet highly effective for users seeking an active speaker that harmonizes with their décor.

Triangle BR02 CONNECT and BR03 CONNECT – Compact, Capable and Versatile

The BR02 CONNECT and BR03 CONNECT share the same overall concept but differ in scale and output. The BR02 CONNECT is the more compact option, ideal for nearfield use on a desktop, in small rooms, or as a discreet audio solution in secondary spaces. The BR03 CONNECT, with its larger cabinet and more capable mid-bass driver, offers greater presence and room-filling capability, making it suitable for medium-sized living areas or as a refined alternative to a soundbar. Both models are designed to deliver a clean, neutral response, with clear vocal presentation and well-controlled imaging whether used in nearfield setups or conventional stereo placement.

Technical Features – Proven and Well-Equipped

Despite the new design variant, the underlying technology of both models remains identical to the established BOREA CONNECT platform. Wireless streaming is available through Bluetooth 5.0 with SBC, AAC, aptX and aptX HD, allowing high-quality playback from smartphones and tablets. Users who prefer a direct digital connection can rely on the USB-B input, which pairs with the integrated ESS Technology 9018K2M DAC, supporting high-resolution audio up to 32 Bit and 384 kHz as well as DSD256.

For television integration, HDMI with ARC and HDMI CEC offers straightforward operation, letting users control volume and essential functions directly from the TV’s remote. Optical and coaxial digital inputs extend compatibility with a wide range of devices, while Cinch, a 3,5 mm Stereo-Mini-Klinke and an MM phono stage make the system suitable for turntable setups.

A dedicated Subwoofer-Out allows the speakers to be expanded into a compact 2.1 system. Amplifier power is rated at 2 × 50 Watt for the BR02 CONNECT and 2 × 60 Watt for the BR03 CONNECT. Both rely on Triangle’s established driver principles: an EFS fabric tweeter combined with a cellulose mid-bass driver, ensuring a natural, balanced tonal character.

Use Cases – One System for Many Everyday Scenarios

Both CONNECT models have been designed with modern, multifunctional living spaces in mind. On a desktop, they serve as substantial upgrades over computer speakers and USB-powered mobile devices, benefitting from the direct USB-B connection and well-controlled nearfield performance. In youth or bedroom environments, Bluetooth and intuitive TV integration make them easy to use and suitable for gaming, music streaming and general entertainment.

In the living room, HDMI ARC enables the speakers to function as a compact stereo replacement for a soundbar, delivering a wider soundstage, improved dialogue clarity and a more natural timbre for films and series. Thanks to their neutral tuning, they remain unobtrusive yet engaging at any listening level.

Price and Availability

The Triangle BR02 CONNECT and Triangle BR03 CONNECT in the new Burgundy Edition are available immediately. Pricing remains unchanged from the existing BOREA CONNECT lineup, and the new finish is offered worldwide through authorised Triangle retailers.

Conclusion

With the Burgundy Edition, Triangle adds a visually distinctive option to the BOREA CONNECT Series without altering the functional or acoustic concept of the BR02 CONNECT and BR03 CONNECT. The speakers remain highly adaptable solutions for desktop audio, small to medium living spaces and TV applications. The new finish simply broadens the design freedom available to users, reinforcing the series’ role as a versatile set of active loudspeakers that can be seamlessly integrated into a variety of interiors.
