A TECHNOLOGICAL MONUMENT
Grande Utopia’s ultimate hi-fi sound is the result of the best Focal innovations it combines: “W” diaphragms, pure beryllium tweeter, electromagnet (EM) woofer, TMD suspension, NIC motor, MRR cabinet… it’s a concentrate of patented technologies at the service of sound.
AN ACOUSTIC SCULPTURE
Each loudspeaker is housed in a separate cabinet. These cabinets form the spectacular backbone of the loudspeaker, and can be tilted by the action of a leather-wrapped crank. This adjustable “Focus Time” function ensures the perfect sound image, depending on room configuration and listening position.
4 DEFINED SECTIONS
From top to bottom, Grande Utopia features a 27 cm low-midrange, two 16.5 cm mid-ranges, a tweeter and a 40 cm electromagnet woofer.
REFINED FINISHES
The Focal Grande Utopia EM EVO Loudspeakers stand out for its contemporary styling and distinctive silhouette. Metallic colors inspired by the automotive world and timeless wood finishes complete the look of these loudspeakers.
THE BEST COMPONENTS
Perfection is born of detail. Every component has been carefully selected. Large cross-section cables ensure transparency and naturalness. The acoustic wadding lining the interior of the subwoofer is dense, for controlled, precise bass. The rigidity of the cabinet, enhanced by machined aluminum rings around the loudspeakers, reinforces the overall coherence of the acoustics.
“W” MEMBRANE
Perfectly defined midrange and bass – By developing and manufacturing its own membranes, Focal pushes the limits of innovation in acoustics.
The sandwich “W” membrane of the loudspeakers plays an essential role in sound reproduction. It consists of two sheets of glass placed on either side of a central foam body; a sandwich construction that enables us to master the three key parameters of a good loudspeaker: lightness, rigidity and damping.
This flagship membrane of Focal know-how perfectly optimizes the frequency response curve, providing low distortion and total listening transparency. Sound is the ultimate in precision.
TMD SUSPENSION
Stabilized surround, eliminates vibrations – While their engineers are experts in the development of exclusive diaphragms, they also innovate in all the components that make up the loudspeakers, such as the surround that connects the diaphragm to the frame, the performance of which must be mastered.
Introduced in 2015, Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) technology with harmonic damping consists of the addition of finely positioned toroidal weights to stabilize the surround for even greater sonic neutrality. This technology enhances the midrange and the erratic behavior of the surround between 1 kHz and 2 kHz.
BÉRYLLIUM TWEETER
For exceptional treble – Membrane shape and materials are essential for high-fidelity reproduction.
For exceptional treble in the Focal Grande Utopia EM EVO Loudspeakers, the engineers have developed the Béryllium inverted dome tweeter in pure Beryllium. Thanks to its unrivalled rigidity, Beryllium is the material of choice for high-frequency loudspeakers.
Developed and patented by Focal, the pure Beryllium inverted dome is capable of covering more than five octaves (1,000 – 40,000 Hz) for perfect perception of micro-details.
