The high power capacity of its two amplifiers allows for 100% control of the signal dynamics as well as high, distortion-free sound levels. The bass reflex design, rounded contours, and modern, robust side panels are additional strengths of the Alpha 50 Evo, facilitating optimal acoustic and aesthetic integration in all room positions.
3. Focal Shape 50
The Shape 50 monitor speaker emphasizes versatility. This monitor can be used from a distance of 80 cm and offers significantly extended bass reproduction (50 Hz) considering its size. Thanks to its design and numerous adjustment options, this monitor is recommended for rooms up to a maximum of 12 m².
The four different monitors in the Shape series are manufactured in France and incorporate five innovative features to maximize acoustic transparency. The Shape monitors, tailored to the requirements of near-field monitoring, combine brilliant design with various essential adjustment options to optimize small listening spaces.
These innovations provide remarkable acoustic transparency. These new tools are characterized by their wide yet very precise stereo imaging. The bass range is highly articulated and controlled. The entire midrange benefits from extreme neutrality. As there are no masking effects, EQ processing in this crucial area is particularly straightforward. Finally, the new tweeter demonstrates what very high resolution means. It reveals every emphasis and operates with great precision in the presence range.
4. Focal ALPHA 80 EVO
2-Way Active Speaker
The Alpha 80 Evo is the reference speaker of the series and is particularly recommended for professionals seeking high sound levels and a rich subwoofer extension. This monitor speaker features a 25 mm aluminum tweeter with an inverted dome and a slate fiber membrane manufactured in France by Focal. Its large cross-section bass reflex horn minimizes disruptive external noise, and its dual amplification provides a frequency response of 38 Hz to 22 kHz (+/- 3 dB).
The Alpha 80 Evo is characterized by excellent dynamics, a stable sound balance of great neutrality, and a variety of features (mounting options for wall installation, automatic standby mode). Notably, the bass reflex design allows for optimal acoustic integration in any studio.
Alpha Evo monitors have a 15 mm thick MDF cabinet with internal reinforcements that ensure high cabinet rigidity even at the highest sound pressure levels.
5. Focal Shape 40
These monitors can be used from a distance of 60 cm and offer significantly enhanced bass reproduction. If the room size is under 10 m² or if a particularly compact installation is required, the Shape 40 is the perfect solution.
The four different monitors in the Shape series are manufactured in France and incorporate five innovative features to maximize acoustic transparency. Designed specifically for nearfield monitoring, the Shape monitors combine brilliant design with various essential adjustment options to optimize small listening spaces.
These innovations provide remarkable acoustic transparency. These new tools are characterized by their wide yet highly precise stereo imaging. The bass range is very articulated and controlled. The entire midrange benefits from extreme neutrality. As there are no masking effects, EQ processing in this crucial area is particularly straightforward. Finally, the new tweeter demonstrates what is meant by very high resolution. It reveals every emphasis and operates very precisely in the presence range.
6. Focal Shape 65
The four different monitors in the Shape series are all manufactured in France and incorporate five innovative features to maximize acoustic transparency. Tailored to the requirements of near-field monitoring, the shape monitors combine an ingenious design with various indispensable adjustment options to optimize small listening rooms. These innovations provide remarkable acoustic transparency. These new tools are recommended because of their wide, yet very precise stereo imaging. The bass range is very articulated and controlled. The entire central area benefits from extreme neutrality. Since there are no masking effects, EQ editing is particularly easy in this important area. And finally, the new tweeter shows what is meant by very high resolution. It reveals any overemphasis and also works very precisely in the presence range.
7. Focal Sub One
For producers and sound engineers who have higher demands for a subwoofer, Focal offers the Sub One, a subwoofer with a power output of 200 watts RMS. Thanks to its precision and very low distortion, this long-stroke, high-performance subwoofer is ideal for pairing with products from the Alpha Evo and Shape lines.
The speakers are equipped with an exclusive Slatefiber dual diaphragm: the two adjacent diaphragms provide even greater rigidity – perfect for a subwoofer. With its large bass reflex ports with a wide cross-section at the front, the Sub One can be easily and discreetly placed against a wall or under a desk, taking up minimal depth.
8. Focal Alpha Evo Twin
The Alpha Twin Evo has a 1" aluminium tweeter and two 6.5" woofers with a slate fibre cone, which are developed and manufactured in Focal's workshops in France.
Wide dispersion behaviour so that the same sound is achieved throughout the room. French-made slate fibre cone ensures sound neutrality and no distortion. Identical sound balance at low and high volume. Connection of up to 3 audio sources. Includes protective grille for the drivers.
9. Focal TWIN6
The Twin6 Be is the best-selling product in the Focal Professional lineup and perhaps the most versatile tool in the SM6 series. It is the ideal solution for all applications in recording, mixing, and mastering. The imaging precision, definition in the highs, and neutrality in the midrange are the main reasons for its excellent reputation. Its outstanding resolution in the bass and mid-bass range, even at high sound pressure levels, makes it an indispensable reference for sound engineers who demand absolute transparency.
Moreover, the design of the Twin6 Be allows for operation at high sound pressure levels while maintaining a consistent tonal balance. One of the two 6.5" (16.5 cm) woofers operates across a wide bandwidth (midrange to bass), while the other handles the reproduction from 40 to 150 Hz. This results in bass reproduction that retains full dynamics without masking effects in the midrange: the sound image maintains its neutrality and transparency. The control panel on the back of the Twin6 Be allows for more precise tuning of the bass range, enabling perfect alignment with the other pair of speakers.
The Twin6 Be can be positioned vertically or horizontally depending on the available space in the studio.
