The Focal Grande Utopia EM EVO is not just a speaker system that has had a significant impact on the current generation. It is also the quintessence of Focal's philosophy, a benchmark of musicality and technological advancement. Following models with composite W diffusers, beryllium tweeters, and low frequency drivers with electromagnetic (EM) technology that marked technological progress, the Grande Utopia EM Evo now features NIC and TMD systems - innovations that cannot be compared to traditional technologies.
Features:
- 4-way floorstanding system;
- 16" (400mm) highly efficient electromagnetic low frequency driver;
- 11" (270mm) midrange driver with a high-efficiency multi-ferrite magnet;
- 6.5" (165mm) 3rd generation composite midrange driver;
- Beryllium IAL2 tweeter;
- adjustable time alignment;
- technologies: TMD suspension, Beryllium, IAL2TM, NIC magnetic system, MRR cabinet, Focus Time Gamma structure;
- laminar high-section port without air flow noise.
The cabinet rigidity of the Focal Grande Utopia EM EVO has been increased with reinforcing rings around the drivers. The best specially selected components have found their place in the design: cables made in France, high-density sound-absorbing material in the low frequency section, terminals for two cable connections. New finishes, superior quality, and unique style: the Focal Grande Utopia EM EVO is not just a legend, it is a work of art. The Grande Utopia EM Evo is rightfully considered one of the best speaker systems in the world.
TMD Suspension Technology:
This technology provides a linear frequency response from 1 to 4 kHz, significantly reducing distortion in this range. Neutral inductance scheme: stabilizing the magnetic field was a complex task that had to be overcome to avoid harmonic distortion and intermodulation. Research conducted by Focal engineers led to the development of an extremely stable magnetic circuit.
Acoustic Refinement:
The entire crossover system in the new speakers has been carefully redesigned to provide even greater accuracy. The cabinet rigidity of the Grande Utopia EM EVO has been increased with reinforcing rings around the drivers, enhancing overall acoustic consistency.
Real-world Testing:
Focal engineers selected components on the market, choosing them from the best global brands after testing in real-world conditions. All internal wiring in the blocks is made in France. Studying aspects of connecting these new speakers, Focal decided to increase the wire thickness by 20%. The results are immediately noticeable: the sound becomes even clearer and more natural. As for the bass range, the acoustic padding made of cotton wool embedded in the cabinet has been thickened to achieve even denser bass with greater control and precision.
Each speaker module is separate. Several speaker cabinets and the Grande Utopia EM EVO are connected in a spine-like manner. They can be adjusted using a lever. This focusing adjustment function allows you to perfectly tune the sound field to match your interior.
Metallic Colors:
The Focal Grande Utopia EM EVO speakers stand out with their distinctive colors inspired by the automotive universe. The Grande Utopia EM Evo is available in metallic blue, ash grey, British racing green, in addition to timeless black lacquer and Carrara white. The Utopia Evo shape remains the same, only in an updated modern style.
The speaker cabinet will be fully coated with a single color lacquer: the front and side panels will now be identical. Detailing is also essential; the black color actively returns with graphite-black finish on baskets and tweeter housing. These finish options provide overall consistency that is more harmonious and restrained, further emphasizing the originality of the new colors.
