Description
Focal Sopra Centre Speaker
The Focal Sopra Centre Speaker is an essential component of home cinema systems because its role goes beyond reproducing just the dialogue.
The mid-range must provide precision and coherence between the visuals and the soundstage. If the centre loudspeaker reproduces the majority of voices in the centre of the image, its spectrum is much broader and also includes music, sound effects and other sounds.
The Sopra Center loudspeaker is the ideal complement for the other loudspeakers in the Sopra line: Sopra N°1 bookshelf loudspeakers and Sopra N°2 or Sopra N°3 floorstanding loudspeakers.
Each model in the line offers high performance and consistency in terms of output, rendering and scale. Each speaker driver benefits from the same technologies: ‘W’ cones and pure Beryllium inverted dome tweeters. The soundstage therefore, is perfectly dispersed: the sound emanating from either side of the image is reproduced without variation of the timbre.
Like all products in the Sopra line, Sopra Center is available in the Black Lacquer finish.
The center loudspeaker is composed of:
- 3″ (8cm) ‘W’ cone midrange
- 2 x 61/2″ (16.5cm) ‘W’ cone woofers
- 11/16″ (27mm) pure Beryllium IAL tweeter.

INVISIBILITY REVEALED
Sopra frees the entire essence of music to such a point that you’ll seem to be hearing certain sounds for the very first time. It’s Sopra which makes this magical moment possible, for an intense emotional experience.
KNOWLEDGE SERVING MUSIC
New desires in terms of musical fidelity led to the creation of Sopra. It excels in reproducing the entire audio spectrum thanks to the extensive research and studies. These led to three innovations, two of which are patented. Knowledge entirely serves music for ensuring maximum listening pleasure.
A PURE DESIGN
Inspired by the obvious, the design is a pleasure for the eyes and the ears. Each aesthetic detail serves the acoustics, to reveal every nuance with finesse. Voices and low frequency sounds will flow around your room like never before.
Design
UNEQUALLED PURITY
Due to its incredible rigidity, Beryllium represents the ultimate material for a tweeter dome. After two years of research and development, Focal produced a world first: a pure Beryllium inverted dome, able to cover more than five octaves. You will improve the perception of transients and other micro details.
The pure Beryllium inverted dome tweeter offers a perfectly linear frequency response and extremely precise and detailed treble.
As well, the linearity of the speaker’s response curve is mainly a function of three opposite parameters: lightness, rigidity and damping.
‘W’ CONE
The ‘W’ composite sandwich cone permits total optimization of the frequency response curve, thanks to the total control of three key parameters: lightness, rigidity and damping. These unique characteristics of lightness and rigidity provide control of the signal transmission speed inside the material.
