New Media Catalogue
Between acoustic
excellence and new trends…
With 35 years of experience in the design
and manufacture of speaker drivers and
hi-fi loudspeakers, Focal has also been
displaying its expertise in new ways to
listen to music in recent years. This is
the DNA of the New Media Collection:
while its design and miniaturization are
different from the usual form of our traditional loudspeakers, the heart of the product,
the authenticity of the sound, the quest for
excellence, are exactly the same...
Focal has always focused all its attention
on the reproduction of a textured and rich
sound. Our unique know-how, our many
patented technological innovations, the use
of specific materials: all of these components are symbols of the attention we pay
down to the smallest details. Details that
enable us to better manage all of the factors
that influence sound quality. Controlling
the mass, rigidity and damping provides
our cones with strong acceleration and
low distortion. The result is dynamic real
and natural sound that is unique to Focal,
and a major asset in terms of responding
to the demands of audiophiles and other
music lovers.
At the same time, the music world has
undergone many changes in recent years.
Access to music is easier than ever with
files going digital. The trend towards miniaturization has opened the door to new
players, the "plug & play" solutions are
buzzing all around, sources are many and
wireless, and TVs are becoming sources in
their own right. In short, uses evolve and
music is everywhere, at the flick of a switch.
In this context, Focal decided to integrate
these new ways of listening into its range,
including miniaturization of speakers,
but without compromising the quality of
the music, which forms a core part of
our values. This challenge required the
expertise of our enthusiastic engineers
and gave rise to the New Media Collection:
multimedia wireless speakers, mini
Home Cinema systems and satellites,
subwoofers or even headphones all have
the characteristic of a tailor-made design
and with great ease of use and integration.
The New Media Focal are products adapted to new uses, to which we applied the
formulas that have made our classic ranges
a success to bring out real hi-fi products and
to remain true to our values while satisfying
our customers of today and tomorrow.
> F or over 35 years Focal has been developing and manufacturing loudspeakers for the home, speaker drivers for the car, monitor speakers for recording studios and more recently headphones.
Market leader in high-fidelity, Focal’s worldwide reputation is well known: our brand is recognised everywhere for its sound quality and its numerous technological innovations.
Dimension, The Real TV Sound
Building on 35 years of expertise
when it comes to the expectations of
music and home-cinema fans in terms
of sound, Focal infuses its acoustic
know-how into a new sound object: the
soundbar Dimension.
A key innovation is the five patented
high-bandwidth and ultra-thin speakers,
offering a very low frequency response
and featuring a central inverted dome
which radiates the treble.
It results in a very shallow depth of

innovative and distinctive by its acoustic
design, Dimension goes further and
provides flat screens with real power,

Easya,
wireless high-fidelity sound
Easya is Focal’s “Made in France” new
innovation which straddles the Classic
and New Media Collections. This
new generation of wireless amplified
loudspeakers combines the ease of
use of modern loudspeakers with the
same remarkable sound quality as our
traditional loudspeakers.
This loudspeaker system is composed
of a Hub and two amplified floor-standing loudspeakers. Two-and-a-halfway bass-reflex loudspeakers, built-in
85W RMS amplifier, Polyglass cone
speaker drivers, new TNV2 Aluminium/
Magnesium inverted dome tweeters
with Poron suspension...
Easya embodies all the traits of a
100% Focal, high-fidelity loudspeaker
providing a seamless soundstage with
admirable spatialisation, an essential
quality to ensure your listening pleasure.
MADE IN FRANCE
The installation and use of Easya
correspond perfectly with the new
uses of music: everything is directly
built into the loudspeaker, so external
amplifiers or cables are no longer
required. The wireless Hub is a digital
transmitter sending sound signals to
the loudspeakers, and thanks to Kleer ®
technology, there’s no loss in quality or
compression.
> Black High Gloss or White High Gloss finishes
What distinguishes Easya even more in
Focal’s range of products is the strong
identity of its design, setting it apart
from the previous traditional ranges.
Curved design, aluminium stand, builtin LED: created by the design firm
Pineau & Le Porcher, Easya is a product
with definite high-perceived value.

Sphear,
Dedicated to sound and comfort
Very first Focal in-ear headphones, Sphear
breaks with conventions and proves that
high-fidelity in-ear headphones can be
used for hours on end without the slightest
discomfort!
Its innovative concept when it comes to shape,
Sphear has redefined the approach towards
the ear canal: memory foam or silicone
tips on the front adapt naturally to the ear;
an extended housing at the back shifts the
weight of the headphones to the inferior
auricle of the ear. This relieves the ear canal
from excessive volume and weight which
generally resulted in temporary discomfort.
10.8-mm transducers successfully provide
surprising tonal balance never heard before
in this family of headphones. It is faithful to
Focal’s historic acoustic signature, the “Spirit
of Sound”, with a particularly rich mid-range
which is never muffled. Moreover, the bass
level on Sphear has been slightly increased
for mobile use in noisy environments. Finally,
these in-ear headphones offer harmonic
richness from the low end to the high end, for
true listening pleasure.
Sphear are the most accomplished in-ear
headphones to date, the most comfortable
and the most generous for enjoying your
music, wherever you are. In this age of “HighResolution”, through its spherical design and
its preservation of Focal’s acoustic signature,
Sphear provides a unique solution for those
passionate for high-definition sound.

Spirit Classic,
Rendez-vous with your music
Voluntary positioned in the high-end segment,
both in terms of design and sound, offering an
exceptional value for money on this market,
Spirit Classic is harmoniously completing our
headphones range.
Designed for a use at home, in a quiet
background, they meet demanding customers’
expectations for who aestheticism, refinement
and acoustic quality are essential in one
product.
Spirit Classic is a closed headphones with
premium materials and sophisticated finishes
(solid, brushed and polished aluminium).
The large circum-aural ear cups, the use
of memory foam cushions and the large
headband offer more comfort during long
listening sessions.
Ear cushions perfectly fit with the head shape
to ensure an excellent tightness without
pressure. Bass performance is thus improved
and outside disturbance reduced. Finally,
Spirit Classic asserts itself thanks to its "Hot
Chocolate" finish and its seams inspired by
saddlery style.
The combination of Focal's latest developments in headphones micro-acoustics as well
as our legendary know-how in the design of
high-performance transducers makes the
Spirit Classic a true example of our "Spirit
of Sound": our sonic signature for a "live",
dynamic, powerful spirit, and a faithful reproduction of the music.
Supplied with 2 OFC audiophile quality cables

Spirit Professional,
purely professional
The Spirit Professional headphones are the
direct result of Focal’s historical expertise in
the design of high-performance transducers.
In line with the Focal Professional monitor
range, this monitoring solution will exceed the
Studios, Broadcast environments as well as
Home Studios’ expectations and needs.
Spirit Professional is an exceptional work
tool, capable of ensuring high-quality control
of monitoring activities. The close attention
paid to the design of the Mylar/Titanium alloy
speaker drivers ensures sound reproduction,
which respects the original dynamics of the
audio signal offering remarkably high definition
and neutrality. Finally, the extremely precise
reproduction of bass frequencies detects the
slightest of imperfections in a mix freed from
the acoustic constraints related to the size of
their workstation.
In a studio environment, comfort is critical for a
professional headphone that will be used for extended
periods of time. The circum-aural closed design of the
Spirit Professional headphones was chosen to optimise
fitment around the ear and memory foam was used for
the ear pieces and the headband to ensure a perfect fit
regardless of user’s morphology.
The Black Textured finish gives the headphones a
simplistic look and providing excellent shock and
scratch-resistant qualities.
