Studio Monitors
listen to your music, not to your speakers T hese few words embody the philosophy of Focal-JMLab, the French manufacturer of acoustic loudspeakers and transducers. From their very beginning on the drawing board in Research & Development at Focal, our professional monitors are designed to deliver one thing, at any cost: the absolute acoustic truth. Founded in 1979, Focal is today comprised of two geographically separated facilities.
”Before I needed two pairs of monitors, since I have Twin 6 Be I don´t need any other! „ Ariel Lavigna (Pedro Aznar bassist, Pat Metheny's group) http://www.myspace.com/arilavigna ” Forget all about my gear and toys, the most critical element in my studio is my loudspeaker... To me, there’s no better nearfield loudspeaker than the Solo6 Be, whatever the prices of other monitors.
exclusive > "W" composite sandwich cone mounting F ocal Professional monitors reveal the slightest detail and ensure a better transfer quality than other monitors. How do they achieve this? into the air, with maximum efficiency, which is translated by an extremely precise soundstage. The dome’s response curve is clearly more linear than that of any positive dome. It provides better space dispersion and very low directivity, contrary to ribbon tweeters.
SM9 line The reference 3-way monitor The SM9 was born out of a simple idea: create the most sonically transparent monitoring system ever built. The SM9 features a frequency response from 30Hz to 40kHz with a SPL max of 116dB. This monitoring speaker establishes itself as a reference thanks to the precision of the stereo image, its capacity to reproduce each of the micro details of the audio signal, as well as unconditional respect of the original dynamics.

” I actually own several types of high-end speakers. I still use them for reference, but I Mix on the Focal Solo6 Be now. This was the first time I used Solo6 Be for a project it came out spectacularly. I was really impressed by these speakers. What I found most interesting with the Solo6 Be was the amount of time I could spend mixing without getting fatigued. I found the Solo6 Be to be very accurate while traveling to other reference speakers. What you put in to the Solo6 Be, you get out: very accurate.
SM6 line T he SM6 line was created for studios in search of monitors that reveal all information in the audio spectrum, without any masking effect. It integrates the best of Focal technologies (“W” composite sandwich cone, pure Beryllium inverted dome tweeter) and offers an unprecedented performance/cost ratio. The Solo6 Be and Twin6 Be monitors stand out in this segment due to their unparalleled transparency, degree of definition and precise sound image.

”After trying just about any near field monitor available to me for years, both cheap and expensive, and many, many days spent wondering why I had to work so hard to get consistent results from my mixes, I stumbled upon the Focal speaker line and never looked back. I now mix on a pair of Solo6 Be, and the other two rooms at FLUX Studios have Twin6 Be.

CMS line T he CMS line is the latest arrival in the Focal Professional range and is particularly dedicated to post-production studios, small listening rooms, radio studios and home studios.
> CMS 65 > CMS 50 > CMS 40 > The manufacturing line, a 100 % Focal design to perpetuate tradition. CMS technologies Aluminum/Magnesium inverted dome tweeter Magnesium possesses great damping qualities, Aluminum great rigidity and the two in alloy can greatly reduce distortion. This unique marriage of metals offers several advantages. The impulse response is incredibly rapid and yet benefits from a very short settlement time and excellent damping.
