Focal Shape Twin Studio Monitor (Per Piece)

Unique nearfield studio monitoring

The Focal Shape Twin Studio Monitor is ideal for professional mixing and mastering purposes, thanks to the combination of high-quality components and Focal's years of expertise. The very unique design features two passive radiators, woofers, flax cones and an aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter. The M-shaped aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter offers very low directivity, so you can easily find your optimal listening position. Thanks to the double passive radiator, you can place the monitor close to a wall without fear of unwanted vibrations. It also features high sound pressure levels, ensuring maximum power and clarity when mixing and mastering.

Exceptional audio fidelity and sonic performance

The combination of high-quality components and a wide frequency response result in exceptional audio quality, capturing every nuance of your source audio. The flax sandwich cone provides a powerful and well-defined bass, with a natural-sounding low and high-mid range. The result is a very accurate stereo reproduction. One of the most unique features of the monitor is its Neutral Inductance Circuit technology. NIC technology provides control over the monitor's magnetic field, designed to eliminate distortion before it happens. The TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) has a linear frequency response curve between 1 and 2 kHz, helping to reduce distortion in this range for optimal neutrality.

Advanced design, versatile connectivity options

The unique enclosure not only looks sleek, but also incorporates a range of design aspects designed to optimize audio performance. The monitor is powered by three Class AB amplifiers, delivering high sound pressure levels for a range of applications. The housing is an MDF housing with a natural walnut veneer, specially selected for its acoustic properties.

The back of the monitor has a small control panel at the top. It features controls for adjusting the bass and treble, as well as an adjustable crossover at 160 Hz. There is also a freely switchable high-pass filter for mixing purposes. Additionally, the Focal Shape Twin has both XLR and RCA inputs, so you can use it with a range of equipment, including audio interfaces.
