FOCAL SOLO 6 Black - Studio Monitor

FOCAL SOLO6 Black – Studio Monitor

The FOCAL SOLO6 Black is a 2-way active studio monitor designed for audio professionals seeking maximum clarity, dynamics, and response in a compact form factor. Equipped with a 6.5″ composite sandwich “W” cone woofer and a 1″ pure beryllium inverted tweeter, it delivers an ultra-linear response from 45 Hz to 40 kHz (± 3 dB) in 2-way mode and from 110 Hz to 10 kHz in Focus 1-way mode. Its internal bi-amplification (80 W RMS for woofer/midrange in Class G and 50 W RMS for Tweeters in Class AB), together with the front-facing laminar port, guarantees distortion-free bass reproduction and precise treble. Thanks to its analog filters (HPF, low shelving, high shelving, and low-midrange EQ at 160 Hz), adjustable sensitivity, and automatic standby mode, the SOLO6 Black fits easily into any control room or compact studio.
