Focal Kanta 1 - bookshelf speakers. The compact size of the enclosure allows you to place the Kanta 1 inside furniture or on a floor stand: this is an ideal solution for rooms up to 25 m2.
Features:
- 27mm Beryllium lAL3 tweeter;
- 165mm Flax woofer diffuser;
- low frequency limit from 42 Hz;
- crossover frequency 2400 Hz;
- front panel made of high-density polymer.
Embodiment of high technology and original aesthetics: This is Kanta! After three years of research, Focal offers a combination of exclusive high-tech innovations in Hi-Fi previously unattainable. The combination of Beryllium in the IAL3 tweeter, and Flax in the woofer diffuser, results in precise, detailed sound with high musicality and emotionality. This is a new era for audiophiles... Astonishing from the first minutes of listening with a surprisingly wide soundstage unexpected for such compact speaker systems. When placed in furniture niches or near a wall, there is a possibility to adjust the system's bass response using a plug. Another component of the series' success is a bold approach to design, combining the engineers' creation with decisively modern, expressive design.
Beryllium and Flax
For the first time, a woofer with a Flax sandwich diffuser is used together with a Beryllium tweeter. Flax has the perfect combination of low mass / stiffness / damping, ensuring clarity and accuracy of sound. This unique combination of Flax and Beryllium gives music incredible warmth and musicality. The patented Flax diffuser, made in France, is already well-known in Focal studio, home, and car speakers. The midrange driver uses TMD (Tuned Mass Damping) suspension, and each Kanta speaker is equipped with a magnetic system with NIC (Neutral Inductance Circuit) to stabilize the magnetic field for perfect sound and precise bass control.
High Density Polymer
Everything is designed and created to make the sound soft and warm: the density and stiffness of the front panel and enclosure materials, the rounded edges of the enclosure, and the dual bass reflex port. The front panel is made of a new material to improve acoustic parameters. It is entirely cast from high-density polymer (HDP). This material has excellent properties: it is 70% denser, 15% stiffer, and provides 25% more damping than MDF. The unique shape of the front panel eliminates any diffraction. Kanta includes Power Flow technology with 2 ports on the front and rear panels to reduce bass compression.
Distortion Free
Focal's research focuses on reducing distortion in every frequency range. In Kanta, high frequencies are reproduced by a new tweeter with a pure Beryllium membrane. This IAL3 tweeter combines the functions of IAL (infinite acoustic load) and IHL (infinite horn loading), which help absorb the rear radiation of the membrane, thereby reducing the resonance frequency.
Sound and Style!
Focal engineers have redesigned the "Focus Time" technology, which corrects the position of the drivers by placing them at equal distances from the listener. The enclosure is made from a single piece of wood. The Zamac base is also crucial. Thanks to the spikes and the stands under them, the base provides excellent stability with very little floor space. Final details: glass top and grilles with magnetic mounting. When removed, you can enjoy the natural individuality of each Flax driver - a final design touch that gives Kanta its unique look.
