Forty years already… and yet only forty years!

You may have already seen our post a little while back about Focal unveiling their 40th-anniversary products at High-End Munich this month. We’re all about celebrating achievements and milestones, and Focal have kicked it up a notch to celebrate their 40th year in business. And if that’s not enough, they’ve got a special offer to share with you too!

What exactly are they launching?

If you’ve not had the chance to check out their anniversary range or this is the first time you’re reading about it, then why not take the time to check out exactly what products to look out for!

F40th Audio Kit

We’re particularly excited to see their F40th audio kit, which combines speaker drivers and electronic solutions, offers power and precise sound, and it’s all wrapped up in a sophisticated package specifically designed to be aesthetically pleasing as well as sounding incredible. This is a very special product, a limited edition, designed to bring you endless hours of listening pleasure in your car. The black loudspeaker bowls blend discreetly into the car whilst the Flax cones, the brand’s signature, add an extra touch of elegance. And Focal’s trademark sophistication doesn’t stop with the products alone; the kit is delivered in a high-quality, robust wooden box.

An ode to on-board sound and design

Spectral 40th

Focal is also launching a super-sexy and super smooth 3-way bass-reflex loudspeaker. Spectral 40th is equipped with dynamic, high power handling speaker drivers which are fitted with the iconic K2 Power sandwich cone (aramid fibres), in its trademark yellow colour and reworked to include the very latest expertise from Focal’s teams for to achieve the best linearity possible and ensuring clear and precise sound. Release date is June 2019 so you won’t have to wait long to get your hands on one!

Enjoy a pure listening experience and a viewing pleasure

Symphonie 40th

Another unusual but incredible addition to Focal’s range of products is the Symphonie 40th. With two sensational listening experiences: open-back headphones Utopia and amplifier & DAC Arche, home listening quite simply enters a new dimension; with closed-back headphones Stellia and the Questyle high definition QPM player, you can enjoy your music to the absolute fullest when on-the-go.

For total user convenience and to get the absolute best out of these headphones’ respective performance, there are four dedicated cables included for the different listening options. This way, each set of headphones can be combined with each electronic solution, especially Arche, which combines a digital-analogue converter with two headphone-specific pure class A amplification modes for the purest of listening experiences.

The ultimate collector’s case!

Solo6 Be 40th

Solo6 Be is a 2-way monitor which, from the moment it was launched, surprised users with its size/extended frequency response in the bass ratio, the woofer’s accumulation of neutrality in the mid-range, the fullness of the mid-bass and its bass control. It provides transparency and an unmatched degree of definition and precision of the stereo image for this price category: that is why we chose to showcase this model to celebrate our anniversary. How? By dressing it in a black leather-effect coating to give it a discreet, distinguished and timeless look. Stamped as a ’40 year’ special edition, this monitor, made in our workshops in France, embodies the passion we share with music creators.

Scala 40th

Scala 40th is a 100% Made in France high-fidelity loudspeaker. Whilst the speaker drivers are handmade in Focal’s acoustics workshop in La Talaudière, near Saint-Étienne, the wooden cabinet and it’s Black Silver finish are entrusted to the cabinet-makers in the FEB (Focal Ébénisterie Bourgogne) workshop. The mirror-effect is achieved by hand spraying silver nitrate, thanks to spraying machines: all of these elements are true markers of the super high quality and absolute authenticity of every piece.

Scala 40th is more than just a loudspeaker, it is an artistic creation.
