Focal Pushes The Boundaries Of Its Integration Offering, With Its Exceptional Utopia Cinema Range
February 4, 2025 – Focal presents Utopia Cinema, a range designed for private cinema rooms of up to 2153 sq ft (200m²). It includes one 3-way loudspeaker—Cinema LCR—and one subwoofer —Cinema SUB. The result of a meticulous and extensive development phase, these products deliver an unprecedented level of performance and are part of a complete modular solution for custom systems. With Utopia Cinema, the French brand—already one of the leading lights of the audio industry—is set to revolutionize the ultra-high end Integration market.
FOCAL EXPERTISE AT ITS FINEST
In its quest to deliver uncompromising sound from post-production right through to the listening room, Focal is innovating constantly. Utopia Cinema features the latest audio technologies from the brand’s professional division, including the revolutionary Utopia Main studio monitors unveiled on January 15. With their exceptional immersion, unrivalled sound precision and breathtaking low-frequency impact, the Utopia Cinema loudspeakers lift the Home Cinema experience to the next level.
CINEMA LCR
This full-range, high SPL-capacity loudspeaker guarantees unparalleled power and precision, adapting to the requirements of the most optimized listening environments. The different crossover settings, such as the 0–30° selector, maximize the performance of each loudspeaker depending on its purpose (central, left or right channel), while its speaker drivers offer outstanding treble, midrange and bass reproduction.
New 1.5″ ‘M’-shaped beryllium tweeter
The combination of beryllium and its ‘M’ shape delivers an exceptional transient response and unique treble sound reproduction, with unparalleled precision. The tweeter’s power handling is improved by a 1″ coil and optimized heat dissipation. This speaker driver extends the ultra-high response with no distortion, while halving THD to 3kHz thanks to TMD® (Tuned Mass Damper) technology complete with a Poron surround. Lastly, its rear acoustic environment is fully optimized with a waveguide and IAL® (Infinite Acoustic Load) technology, further enhancing its sound performance.
New 5″ ‘M’-shaped, ‘W’-cone midrange This transducer is capable of delivering an impressive dynamic range and transparency, thanks to the sound optimization of its magnet to prevent reso nance. Moving in a perfect piston movement, the ‘M’ shape creates a completely flat wave thanks to its shallow depth. In addition, its small-roll surround with integrated TMD® technology significantly reduces the intermodulation created by the surround. Voice reproduction is ultra-natural.
13″ high-excursion
‘W’-cone woofer This speaker driver is housed in an impressively solid cabinet, fitted with a large vent. By combining super-light moving components with a flexible surround, it offers excellent articulation and definition.
CINEMA SUB
Cinema SUB is the ultimate subwoofer for demanding audio environments. Its two 13” woofers guarantee maximum excursion and uncompromising bass control. Tuned to 19Hz, it delivers a unique extension for a deep and striking bass, even in the most spacious cinema rooms. Thanks to its advanced sound design, it blends seamlessly into multi-channel systems, enhancing every explosion or musical nuance for a fully immersive experience, and adapting to wave-forming and bass-management configurations.
Large front laminar port
Designed to minimize distortion while maximizing sound pressure, descending to lower frequencies while increasing their efficiency, for an impactful sub-bass.
Robust construction
This subwoofer has been created to meet the demands of high-SPL configurations, preserving flawless sound quality.
UNLIMITED MODULAR CONFIGURATIONS
Utopia Cinema loudspeakers and subwoofers can be installed in a modular system. Products can be fixed onto or into the wall, positioned horizontally or vertically, and with the desired number added, to achieve an on-demand sound pressure level. Configurations are limited only by the size of the space in which the solution is integrated. Cinema LCR and Cinema SUB can also be combined with loudspeakers from the Focal 1000 Series. Both ranges feature the same technologies, from the ‘W’ cone to the beryllium tweeter, and both deliver an immersive listening experience with the same signature sound.
