Polyvalence
Connection of up to three audio sources (XLR, TRS and RCA inputs), disengageable automatic standby mode, wall or ceiling mounting: Alpha 80 Evo integrates a wide range of features for mixing, mastering or broadcasting.
Optimal Integration
Featuring a large-section vent for a compact bass-reflex design, rounded contours and robust side panels to enhance the sound, Alpha 80 Evo integrates easily into studios without compromising performance.
Performance
The woofer features a Slatefiber diaphragm renowned for its neutral sound and low distortion. Added to this are an aluminum tweeter for fine treble and two high-current amplifiers for dynamic signal control.
High-Finesse Treble
Manufactured by Focal, the inverted dome tweeter has been a signature since 1981. It offers the property of being a true micro loudspeaker. The curvature of the dome is significantly less pronounced than that of positive domes. This allows for better spatial dispersion and offers very low directivity, unlike ribbon tweeters. The inverted dome tweeter therefore generates unrivaled dynamics.
In addition to the dome shapes, Focal engineers work on the materials. Here they chose aluminum, which increases the rigidity of the dome and reduces distortion. And to perfect the spatialization of the sound, a waveguide was developed. In the horizontal plane, the frequency response is within a deviation of +/- 0.5 dB. This performance guarantees an incredibly stable soundstage.
Dynamic & Balanced Sound
Exclusive to Focal, made in France, the Slatefiber cone is made of recycled carbon fibers and thermoplastic polymer. In pursuit of perfection and specialists in speaker cones, Focal engineers have chosen to use non-woven carbon fibers oriented in the same direction to achieve even greater rigidity, damping, and lightness, the "essentials" of a good speaker.
Recognized for its reproduction of dynamic, rich, and balanced sound, this cone has proven itself on numerous products for the home, for professionals in recording studios, and also for listening in cars.
