FOCAL ALPHA EVO 65 - Studio Monitor

FOCAL ALPHA EVO 65 – 2-way active studio monitor

The FOCAL ALPHA EVO 65 is a professional nearfield monitor “Made in France” that combines a 6.5″ Slatefiber woofer and a 1″ inverted aluminum tweeter in a bass-reflex enclosure optimized for neutral and dynamic reproduction from 40 Hz to 22 kHz (± 3 dB). Featuring 55 W Class D tri-amplification for bass/midrange and 30 W for treble, it achieves 104 dB peak SPL at 1 m with no perceptible distortion. It features XLR, TRS and RCA inputs, level controls and room filters (LF Shelving and HF Shelving), as well as an automatic standby mode after 15 minutes of inactivity, making it the ideal solution for mixing, mastering and post-production in small spaces.
