FOCAL TECHNOLOGIES AND EXPERTISE
Exclusive speaker drivers and voice coil
Utopia incorporates full-range speaker drivers with a pure Beryllium ‘M’-shaped dome, completely open at the back. Focal engineers have risen to the challenge of delivering the sensation of listening to the best Focal loudspeakers! The result is a set of speaker drivers that run with zero active or passive correction, from 5Hz to over 50 kHz. The headphones totally disappear, leaving audio signal reproduction that is unrivalled in its purity.
Focal engineers have also developed a voice coil – the centre piece of a speaker driver, along with the cone – made from copper for reliability and aluminium for lightness: an evolution synonymous with the revamped sound signature, and as uncompromising as ever.
