Focal Alpha 65 Evo active studio monitor speaker

Alpha 65 Evo has a 1" (25mm) Aluminium tweeter and a 6.5" (16.5cm) woofer with Slatefiber cone developed and manufactured in Focal's workshops in France. This monitor features excellent dynamics and neutrality in its tonal balance. Thanks to new technologies and features, Alpha 65 Evo is highly versatile.


PERFORMANCE & VERSATILITY
Dedicated to music creation and all reproduction, the Alpha 50 Evo and Alpha 65 Evo guarantee excellent sound coherence, no matter where you’re listening. For renewed performance, Focal has chosen an aluminium inverted dome tweeter to ensure vast sound dispersion, as well as the Slatefiber cone. This recycled carbon cone, produced exclusively by the French brand at its Saint-Étienne workshops, has been chosen for ist neutrality and dynamics. Focal is constantly renewing its offering, drawing on its acoustics expertise of over 40 years and its innovation capacity. This is demonstrated by the new large laminar port, which limits distortion noise.


NEW FEATURES
Evo for Evolution. The Alpha Evo monitors boast a new 1/4" (6.35mm) TRS jack input—in addition to the XLR and RCA analogue inputs—, a disengageable automatic stand-by mode and inserts for wall and ceiling fastening: a truly versatile range (Mix, Mastering, DJ, Broadcast). In terms of amplification, the monitors are each equipped with two class D amplifiers. The high current capacity of these allows full control of the signal dynamics. It also allows high volumes to be reached without distortion. Each of the loudspeakers picks up the smallest details in the mix, across all musical styles.


DESIGN AND CABINET-MAKING
The monitors feature a 5/8" (15mm) MDF cabinet, and incorporate internal braces to ensure it is highly robust, even at the highest levels of acoustic pressure. The bass-reflex design has been used to ensure easy acoustic integration in even the most cramped spaces. In terms of aesthetics, the traditional cube monitor shape makes way for rounded contours. The side panels create a sophisticated, robust and modern design which contributes to excellent acoustics and a unique and harmonious signature across the collections.
