FOCAL SPEAKER TECHNOLOGIES

THE FOCAL SPEAKER LEGACY
Introduced in 1995 and updated in 2002, the Focal Grande Utopia EM loudspeaker made the audiophile community sit up and take notice. Standing over 2 metres tall and weighing 260 kg these behemoths demanded to be taken seriously. This model was followed by the EM Evo and Stella Utopia EM Evo which showcased the very latest in audio technology. Today the Grand Utopia 3 Evo sits at the pinnacle of the range and is chosen by audiophiles who reject any form of compromise. Unique features of this iconic model include NIC (Neutral Inductance Circuit) and TMD suspension.
In recent years the Focal audio company has expanded on its range of audiophile bookshelf and floor-standing models with an impressive selection of “almost-invisible” in-wall and in-ceiling speakers. And Focal continues to perform strongly in the professional market with its renowned studio monitors and reference Focal headphones.
