Focal SM6 line - TRIO 11 BE | B-Stock (sold)

HIGHLY VERSATILE

THE LOUDSPEAKER DEDICATED TO NEARFIELD AND MIDFIELD

As well as new speaker drivers (a 5” midrange and a 10” subwoofer) with high efficiency and power handling, the Trio11 Be monitor enjoys all of Focal's very latest technologies when it comes to acoustics and electronics: TMD and NIC technologies; optimised vents that promote dynamic control and perfect bass definition; high excursion, enabling even more linearity of the subwoofer... 

Thanks to its class G amplification, Trio11 Be delivers a high SPL (118dB at 1m) and offers a great versatility of use and installation configurations in nearfield AND midfield applications. A key asset, always coming along with an extremely precise sound reproduction and stereo image.

With an extended bandwidth (30 Hz-40 kHz), this loudspeaker is also composed of a 3-way monitor and a 2-way monitor, just like Trio6 Be, which lets you check the mix transfer sound quality thanks to FOCUS mode.

With Trio11 Be, power and versatility are waiting for you!

Feel the difference!

KEY POINTS
____

• High SPL: 118 dB @ 393/8'' (1m).
• FOCUS Mode: two monitors in one with remote switchover.
• Pure Beryllium inverted dome tweeter: very low directivity, linearity, dynamics.
• ‘W’ composite sandwich cone on midrange and subwoofer: neutral sound, no distortion.
• Bass, mid-bass and treble settings on rear panel: optimum acoustical integration.
• Optimised decoupling of the midrange speaker driver thanks to silent blocks.
• Ultra-low distortion and noise.

DYNAMICS, NEUTRALITY AND PRECISION
____

A Focal signature, the pure Beryllium inverted dome tweeter offers a perfectly linear frequency response and a detailed reproduction of the treble. Its exclusive profile guarantees optimum energy transfer from the coil to the dome making a high efficiency tweeter (capable of covering 5 octaves from 1,000 to 40,000 Hz) while providing wide sound dispersion.

The 10” subwoofer's ‘W’-profile cone enables a true optimisation of the frequency response thanks to a precise control of the rigidity, lightness and damping. The balance between these three fundamental parameters is the basis of the monitor's incredible sound neutrality.

RARE AND PRECIOUS BERYLLIUM

Due to its incredible rigidity, Beryllium represents the ultimate material for a tweeter dome.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE EXTENDED AT 40KHZ

Focal, after two years of research and development, produced a world first: a pure Beryllium inverted dome, able to cover more than five octaves (1000Hz – 40kHz). You may ask yourself why do we strive for an extended response at 40kHz, if the human ear can only hear up to 20kHz? If you can extend frequency response, you will improve the perception of transients and other micro details. As well, the linearity of the speaker’s response curve is mainly a function of three opposite parameters: lightness, rigidity and damping.

INCREDIBLE ACOUSTIC CARACTERISTICS

To this day, only one material permits a joining of these parameters: Beryllium. For domes with identical masses, Beryllium is seven times more rigid than Titanium or Aluminum, the latter two well known for their rigidity. This results in a sound wave propagation three times faster than Titanium and two and a half times faster than Aluminum. In the end, the linearity of the frequency response curve, the acoustic transparency and the impulse response of the Beryllium tweeter are maximized and offer near-perfect sound.

ADJUSTABLE PLATE

The aluminium plate incorporating the tweeter and midrange is adjustable through 360°, in 90° increments, so the Trio11 Be can be used either vertically or horizontally.
This function makes it possible to optimise the monitor's performance based on its positioning in the room and the latter's acoustics.

2 MONITORS IN 1

Trio11 Be combines two monitors in a single enclosure.

The 3-way monitor provides a flawless control of the entire audio spectrum (30 Hz – 40 kHz).
The 2-way monitor, with a frequency response of 90 Hz to 20 kHz, makes it possible to check the transfer quality of mixes on systems with a limited frequency response in the bass (televisions, computers, cars, etc.).
