Focal Alpha 80 Active Studio Monitor, Single Overview
Focal Alpha 80 Active Studio Monitor, Single
Flagship of the line, the monitoring loudspeaker Alpha 80 is particularly ideal for producing music which is rich in bass or which requires high power reserves. This model is composed of a 8” (21cm) woofer/ midrange speaker with a Polyglass cone loaded in a large laminar port and of a 1" (25mm) aluminium inverted dome tweeter. It features a 40W amplifier for the tweeter and a 100W amplifier for the woofer, and has a frequency response of 35Hz to 22kHz (+/- 3dB).
Features
- Low directivity: keeps the same sound throughout the room.
- Damping and rigidity: neutrality, no distortion.
- Tonal balance is identical at low and high volumes; low sensitivity to the wall effects.
- Connect up to 2 audio sources.
- Optimal acoustic integration.
- Reduced power consumption.
- This is reflected in the choice of technologies used, such as the inverted dome tweeter, that provide a very linear treble, reveal the slightest imperfections of equalisation even from a short distance away and also prevent auditory fatigue ; the Polyglass cone woofer, which gives excellent damping qualities, ensuring flawless neutrality over the entire bass/high"‘midrange frequency spectrum, and a remarkable transparency to the midrange frequencies ; and the unique bass"‘reflex design with large double front ports, which improves acoustical integration even in confined spaces nor installed near a front wall.
- Finally each Alpha studio monitor is equipped with two class AB amplifiers. The high"‘current amplifiers enable complete control of the dynamics of the audio signal. This also allows for listening at high volumes without distortion.
