The Utopia BE range
of products are true reference componenents in every sense of the
word. They are designed around the latest technological advance
in modern speaker design: the Beryllium tweeter.

Grande Utopia
BE
|
Gigantic
size and Gigantic performance,
Gigantic by its presence in the world of acoustical super
systems, the Grande Utopia BE is hard to describe even
using superlatives. It defines a new category and style,
standing alone unique in its qualities. Those who have been
fortunate to audition it in a good acoustic environment
partnered with high quality electronics have undoubtedly
experienced a memorable event. Capable of shrinking itself
to present an intimate chamber quartet, then expanding to
offer a full size symphonic orchestral experience, the Grande
Utopia BE will never give a piano false dimensions, nor
will it truncate the most impressive sonic expressions:
for this reason, among others, the Grande Utopia BE is a
true reference system.

Nova Utopia
BE
|
How
is it that the Nova Utopia BE
can so easily bring together the rare confluence of timbre,
superior soundstaging with stunning depth and perfect mastery
of the bass range, with complete freedom from any residual
coloration...There is only one possible explanation: purity
of lineage. As the direct descendant of the Grande Utopia
BE, the Nova Utopia BE has benefited from the best in technology
to become the purest servant of musical truth... Nova Utopia
BE adds no falsehoods, and sets aside any sensationalism
or over emphasis of any part of the range, or any specific
tonal or timbral quality in order to preserve that subtle
balance which is so vital in preserving what is so simply
called reality. The Nova Utopia BE remains a model of magnificence
and serenity, and provides the emotional experience of finally
finding truth.

Alto Utopia
BE
|
The
Alto Utopia BE
comes from the heart of the Utopia BE concept.
The magnificent three part enclosure is a jewel finished
in its entirety with precious woods and piano gloss lacquers...
what more can be said? The performance of the Alto Utopia
BE comprises equal levels of transparency and energy, bringing
together the most subtle timbre and the ability to transcribe
the most refined inner detail of the mid and treble range
along with the power of an extended deep bass which provides
an excellent foundation for the whole.
|
|
Micro Utopia
BE
|
The
Micro Utopia BE
is the most compact in the Utopia BE range, designed to
be a standmounted system. The new Micro Utopia BE uses a
single, high performance 6-1/2" "W" cone
woofer. Twin laminar ports either side of the TGU tweeter
housing ensures deep and powerful bass even from the smallest
Utopia model.
|
|
Center Utopia
BE
|
The
Center Utopia BE
has been designed to keep up with the immense power delivered
by the Nova Utopia BE and Grande Utopia BE models when used
in a home-theatre system. A true 3-way system, the Center
Utopia BE uses one 10" "W" cone woofer for
bass, 2 6-1/2" "W" cone drivers for midrange
and the legendary pure Beryllium tweeter. The Center Utopia
BE has been designed for truly top end systems, so to
avoid any degradation of performance the carefully optimized
drive units are not magnetically screened. |

Electra 1000Be series speakers!
JM
Lab 1007Be |
Following
on the heels of the Utopia Be series comes
the fabulous JM Lab 1007Be and 1027Be
speakers! The 1007Be ($4,000/pr.) employs
a pure Beryllium inverted dome tweeter
that runs flat out to 40 kHz and JM's unique composite
sandwich 6 1/2" woofer linked by their outstanding
OPC crossover, The result is anearly perfect
"Bookshelf" sized speaker - one
which produces a sound stage and dynamics that belie its size.
Fast as a rocket ship, the 1007Be presents
an easy 8 ohm/89 db load that can be driven by a 25 watt per
channel receiver but has all the panache
to bring out the qualities of the very best electronics. |
|
| Imagine
80% of the performance of the legendary JM
Lab Alto Utopia Be speakers at 40%
of their price! That describes the sound of the remarkable
1027Be Floorstanding Transducer ($7,500/pr.).
The 1027Be uses the same pure beryllium IAL
inverted dome tweeter as the 1007Be, but
adds two of their patented sandwich composite design 6 1/2"
woofers in a 3-way bass-reflex floorstanding loudspeaker that
outperforms any resonable expectation one would have of a
speaker of their size and price.

From
38 Hz to 40 kHz, the 1027Be throws out an
image with near perfect staging. Delicate
inner detail and resounding crescendos are rendered with equally
superb authenticity. Cellos sound like cellos, Telecasters
like Telecasters, and Placido like Placido. All in proper
balance - size wise and harmonically. I suppose I
could find fault with the 1027Be if I really
tried, but I am too busy listening! |

The
world of audio has enjoyed tremendous change. The Internet,
home networks and MP3 portable hard drives - with ever
increasing storage capacities - have sparked a huge increase
in the popularity for music, especially within younger
generations, but not for traditional hi-fi .
This new audience considers conventional hi-fi to be too
complicated, too cumbersome, too expensive and not much
fun. Their experience of what they consider “hi-fi
” is usually a pair of simple computer speakers connected
to a PC, capable of delivering a reasonable performance
“near field” but unable to reproduce a “big”
room filling sound to professional levels of detail, depth
and dynamics.
iCub
presents a unique opportunity to allow this new audience
to really access true high-fidelity, via a modern product
in tune with their life style. Based on the specification
of the recently introduced Cub 2 subwoofer, iCub integrates
three BASH® amplifiers, with a maximum capacity of
400 Watts, a high precision 20bit D/A convertor (ST TDA7535)
and multiple inputs, including optical digital, all with
automatic detection so there’s no need to manually
turn iCub on or off.

JM Lab IW-1000Be |
|
With the arrival of the new In-Wall Electra IW 1000
Be loudspeaker, Focal offers a high-performance in-wall
solution that incorporates the best technologies of the brand,
such as the IAL inverted dome tweeter in pure Beryllium.
The high-end In-Wall tradition at Focal started in 2002 with
the launch of the Cache 400 series, the first to demonstrate
a "W" drive-unit. This series was recently reborn
in the Profile IW 908. With the IW
1000Be however, performance goes much furthur again
as the new IAL Beryllium tweeter is employed.
It s spatialization and precision make of it a loudspeaker
of distinction, blessed with a power handling and an output
quite beyond the ordinary.
These speakers have excellent practical aspects: rapid
and dependable installation, possibility to paint
the frame as well as the aluminum perforated grille for a
perfect integration, and a required wall cavity depth
of less than 4 inches.
From Custom 100 all the way up to
Electra IW 1000Be, Focal has today a large arsenal
of quality in-wall loudspeakers, covering a price range of
$149 to $2,795 per unit.

800V Surround System
|
|
For Focal, Chorus symbolizes one of the
most stimulating challenges for the loudspeaker and refined
product manufacturer that we are: to allow the greatest
number of consumers to access our technological innovations.
Technological innovation does not only
solely touch strategic components of the speaker, but the
actual whole of the design. Thanks to the use of advanced
and exclusive materials, elaborate manufacturing techniques
of the cabinets, the Chorus 800 V line of today shines with
a unique, hi-end esthetic. Chorus V isn’t only a performing
product line, ideal for entering the Focal universe, but
objects that will inhabit living spaces,
with an innovative esthetic, quality
of manufacture and a finish worthy of a higher
segment.
|
|
|
The dynamics in film and multichannel music
soundtracks push us to surpass ourselves. All the models of
the Chorus 800 V line have exceptional power handling
and output, giving them a seismic dynamic range,
maintained down into deep bass thanks to
the new optimization of the ports and the cabinets. |
|
|
The
new subwoofer SW 800 V follows this logic.
It inherits much from the famous SW 700 S from the last generation,
renowned for the quality of its impact and its dynamic range.
The increased rigidity of the cabinet, the double
port, the powerful BASH® amplifier, which
exceeds 350 Watts, new, accessible settings make for many
important improvements and a bass even deeper and more powerful
despite a limited cabinet displacement. |

CC 800V Center Speaker
|
|
The Chorus CC 800 V center channel speaker benefits
from optimal settings in order to marry to the other
loudspeakers in the Chorus 800 V series. Despite its
simple configuration, we managed to achieve directionality
curves to combat the typical limitations of a center
channel speaker (an instable 3D image, “boxy”
dialogue sound, inconsistent transition between the
three front speakers).
The naturalness and precision of the dialogue constitute
a major strength for this perfectly designed loudspeaker.
