Focal Utopia Maestro EVO

The Utopia Maestro EVO features a permanent magnet compared the EM driver of Stella, its bigger brother. The new EVO model provides the TMD® suspension, NIC motor and MRR cabinet, while inheriting the acclaimed ‘W’ cones pure Beryllium tweeter from the previous model.

The 1 inch pure Beryllium inverted dome tweeter provides precise sound as the recording intended. The IAL2™ (Infinite Acoustic Loading version 2) is Focal’s specialised decoupled rear-chamber system that uses a Push-Pull Neodymium motor that enables free air movement behind the dome allowing sound waves to disperse in a large tuned cavity with progressive damping materials.

1x 6.5 inch midranges incorporates the new TMD® (Tuned Mass Damper) suspension to reduce cone breakup to increase vocals and stereo imaging. The NIC (Neutral Inductance Circuit) motor improves the magnetic field stability to provide a pure signal for the voice coil while still providing dynamic range. This reduces back pressure reducing the resonant frequency down to 528Hz.

The Focal Utopia Maestro speaker features a Ultra-powerful ferrite double magnet with 50mm voice coil for the 10.6 inch woofer. It features MDS (Magnetic Damping System), which can be controlled by metal jumpers at the back of the speaker to change the damping mode by ±1.5dB for tighter bass to suite your preferences and room size. It is a full range speaker that can even be used to serve as a LFE channel.

The OPC (Optimum Phase Crossover)  allows the treble to also be adjusted by ±1.5dB.

The midrange-bass and woofer cones are constructed out of Woven Glass Fibre as skin with a polymethacrylimide foam for the core. It is a full range speaker that can even be used to serve as a LFE channel.

The Gamma™ Structure uses variable, up to 5cm, MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) layers, making the cabinets ultra rigid with the spectacular curved sides and backbone of the loudspeaker for the ideal time alignment. Each loudspeaker is housed in a separate cabinet.  The rigidity of the cabinet is enhanced by MRR (Machined Reinforced aluminium Rings).
