FOCAL ALPHA EVO TWIN - Studio Monitor

FOCAL ALPHA EVO TWIN – 2.5-way active studio monitor

The FOCAL ALPHA EVO TWIN is a professional nearfield monitor “Made in France” that combines Slatefiber technology with high-efficiency tri-amplification to deliver ultra-precise reproduction from 38 Hz to 22 kHz (± 3 dB). It incorporates two 6.5″ carbon fiber woofers with Slatefiber cones and a 1″ inverted aluminum tweeter, each amplified by dedicated Class D stages (2 × 50 W for bass/midrange and 30 W for treble). Its bass-reflex design optimizes dispersion and allows it to be placed close to the wall without suffering from unwanted resonances. With a maximum SPL of 108 dB peak at 1 m, adjustable EQ controls (bass shelving, treble shelving) and high/low phase, it is the reference for mixing, mastering and post-production in demanding studios.
