Perfect highs THE PERFECT HARMONY OF ALUMINUM AND MAGNESIUM A true revolution in Car Audio, FRAK is a tweeter from Focal. With its “M” profile, FRAK is a tweeter with a cone that perfectly combines aluminum and magnesium. Aluminum creates ....

Customize the exceptional Optimum Phase Crossover Another key innovation linked to 1995’s Grande Utopia, OPC crossover (Optimum Phase Crossover), stems from a troublingly simple thought: a crossover is acoustically perfect, in phase as in amplitude, when it only filters and ....

Boosted energy and optimized ventilation A passport to true bass Power Flower™ technology is another strong identifier of the Focal range, and has been for over 20 years. The story of this magnet technology deserves to be told. At the ....

Electromagnetic motor loudspeaker Magnetic energy The performance of a loudspeaker is directly linked to the magnetic energy transmitted by the magnet – a subject that Focal knows well, having invented original and technically advanced solutions such as the Multiferrite magnet, ....

Sound purity and precision K2 sandwich diaphragm The K2 sandwich membrane features an ultra-light foam core sandwiched between a layer of aramid fibre and a layer of glass fibre. Iconic for its outstanding performance and instantly recognizable by its yellow ....

Power handling DFS® stands for Dual Fiberglass Structure. It’s a robust and original material. WHAT IS A DFS MEMBRANE? DFS® (Dual Fiberglass Structure) technology is used to create robust, reliable membranes. Composed of two glass fibres braided at 90° and ....

Well-defined mids Polyglass technology, exclusive to Focal, consists of applying fine glass microbeads to a cellulose pulp cone. EXCELLENT DAMPING This process combines the excellent damping of paper with the rigidity of glass. The stiffness index even exceeds that of ....

Sound purity and precision Learn more about the Flax membrane Flax is linen. Made in France yet affordable in price, Flax membranes are focused on acoustic performance, high-tech and bring a truly original design to the brand’s loudspeakers! After more ....

Anti-vibration enclosure Optimum choice The surface area of a loudspeaker cabinet is infinitely greater than that of the driver diaphragms, so it can radiate sound at a level close to that of the diaphragms, which is colored and distorted by ....

Sound purity and precision THE ARAMID FIBRE SANDWICH MEMBRANE The aramid fibre sandwich membrane, recognizable by its yellow color, is the symbol of the Car Audio K2 Power line. AN HISTORIC MEMBRANE Also used on JMLab high-fidelity loudspeakers, the K2 ....

Perfectly defined mids and bass The “W” composite sandwich cone allows perfect optimization of the frequency response curve, right from the cone design stage, thanks to total control of three key parameters: lightness, rigidity and damping. GLASS FIBRE STRUCTURE The ....

Better sound directivity Major innovation in the K2 Power line The TKM and TKMX inverted dome tweeters in aramid fibre feature a new “M”-shaped profile. M-PROFILE INVERTED DOME TWEETER Finite element analysis INVERTED DOME TWEETER Finite element analysis Improved frequency ....

Form follows function The highly structured shape of the Grande Utopia EM immediately suggests a sort of backbone. A gratuitous stylistic effect? No, because the design approach adopted for Utopia III eliminates all superfluity. Function calls for form, and if ....

For deeper bass The double passive radiator, found on Shape monitors in particular, offers an ingenious solution to the problem of proximity monitors: combining compactness, extended bass frequency response and easy positioning. Indeed, where the venting system reaches its integration limit (need ....

For exceptional highs A RARE AND PRECIOUS MATERIAL Beryllium is so rigid that it is the only metal that can scratch glass. It’s the material of choice for tweeter diaphragms! Its price – it’s 50 times more expensive than gold ....

Better sound directivity OBJECTIVE: REDUCE DIRECTIONALITY AND DISTORTION Focal has updated its famous inverted dome tweeter with two significant mechanical advances: a new “M”-shaped dome, and a new surround, like the tweeter used on the SM6 and SM9. THE INVERTED ....

Easy installation EQI – Easy Quick Install system for in-wall/in-ceiling loudspeakers Today, the sound component alone can no longer offer a product that meets all market expectations. That’s why Focal has gone one step further and added a new criterion ....

High-finesse treble The brand’s signature inverted dome tweeter has been constantly evolving since its inception. Its main advantage, apart from its very low directionality, lies in the use of a small-diameter (and therefore very light) coil coupled directly to the ....

High-definition sound As part of the development of the Sopra project, the need for compactness meant that the maximum volume of the cabinet had to be used for the bass. Focal engineers had to find a new system for loading ....

Very high sound definition The accuracy and detail of the reproduction depends on the stability of the magnetic flux. Stabilizing the magnetic flux field After pushing the limits with electromagnet devices, our engineers realized that the magnetic flux field, no ....

High-finesse treble Aluminum increases dome rigidity and greatly reduces distortion, while the addition of magnesium provides excellent damping. ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE This unique solution combines multiple advantages. The impulse response features a very short settling time and ultra-fast damping, enabling the ....

Stabilized suspension, eliminated vibrations OBSESSION WITH THE MIDRANGE The midrange register is undoubtedly the most complex to master in an acoustic system. On the one hand, it must ensure a harmonious energy junction with the bass channel. On the other, ....

For ever more impact The new, patented M profile membrane is the fruit of many years of research and our expertise in membrane materials and geometries. The innovative “M” profile, produced in a single piece (without a core cover), provides ....

‘M’ profile Beryllium Tweeter Rigidity and Purity The “M” profile for beryllium We have moved from an ‘inverted dome’ membrane to an ‘M’ profile. Among other things, this shape reduces the stress exerted on the membrane during excitation by symmetrizing ....
