The Focal Shape 65 Studio Monitor (Single) is a compact 6.5-inch nearfield studio monitor featuring a unique flax sandwich cone and a 6.5-inch passive radiator. The Focal Shape 65 is a highly innovative nearfield studio monitor boasting a wide range of revolutionary technology and premium-grade components. The Shape 65 Studio Monitor delivers low tweeter directivity for a flexible listening positioning designed without a port so you can place it next to a wall. The extended frequency range (40Hz to 35kHz) ensures you capture every nuance from your source audio ideal for mixing and mastering applications.
Innovative nearfield monitoring The Focal Shape 65 Studio Monitor is a compact nearfield studio monitor featuring a unique design with a side-firing 5-inch double passive radiator. The 1-inch M-Shaped aluminium/magnesium inverted dome tweeter combines with the 6-inch Flax sandwich cone woofer to deliver an extended low-end range. The Focal Shape 65 is designed without a port so it can be placed near a wall. The superior-grade technology provides transparent un-coloured sound ideal for mixing & mastering applications. Exceptional sonic accuracy – perfect for professionals The 6-inch Flax sandwich cone provides optimal low-end response thanks to the high-quality flax fibre core enclosed between two thin layers of fibreglass. The result is high internal damping combined with the exceptional sound velocity and flexural rigidity. The sandwich technology methods used to create these Flax sandwich cone provides optimal neutrality of sound ideal for mixing and referencing audio. At the heart of the Shape studio monitor are two Class AB amplifiers that power the drivers for optimal audio performance. The result is controlled and articulated bass as well as a detailed mid-range response. The 1-inch M-shaped aluminium/magnesium inverted dome tweeter provides exceptional high-end detail combined with the Flax sandwich cone to provide a natural yet rich sound. TMD (Tune Mass Damper) technology One of the most unique features included in the Focal Shape range is the TMD (Tune Mass Damper). The damper surrounds the edge of the Flax sandwich cone woofer stabilising the resonance to avoid deformation of the cone without affecting the dynamics. This patented technology is used in earthquake-resistant skyscrapers and racing car suspensions to provide added resistance to the resonance frequency to control it. The result is minimised fatigue of the woofer cone over time providing a natural and rich mid-range. NIC – neutral inductance Another unique technology incorporated into the Focal Shape’s design is the NIC (Neutral Inductance Circuit Technology) providing an incredibly stable magnet circuit. The custom Faraday ring used to achieve this has been optimised using custom materials dimensions and positioning to ensure the magnetic field no longer affects the positioning of the voice coil. In turn this ensures the highest-definition audio fidelity and performance possible. The result is high-definition audio that doesn’t compromise the dynamics/contrast. Sleek design with onboard attenuation controls The Focal Shape Nearfield Studio Monitor is enclosed in an MDF cabinet with natural walnut veneer which not only looks sleek but provides added acoustic qualities. The rear of the unit features numerous settings for optimal integration including a releasable high-pass filter adjustable crossover (at 160Hz) and adjustable bass and treble. These attenuation controls allow you to cater to any space or room for optimal audio quality and listening position. The enclosure also features thread for ceiling and wall mounts (fastening accessories not included). Features Bi-amplified nearfield studio monitor Low tweeter directivity for a flexible listening position Designed without a port allowing it to be placed near a wall Numerous settings for optimal integration Accurate control even in the very high end Flax sandwich cone: controlled and articulated bass natural and detailed lower mid-range and upper mid-range registers.
