FOCAL TRIO 11 BE - Studio Monitor

FOCAL TRIO11 BE – 3 and 2-way studio monitor

The FOCAL TRIO11 BE is a professional studio monitor that integrates two configurations in a single speaker: a full-range 3-way system (30 Hz – 40 kHz ±3 dB) and a 2-way system in Focus mode (90 Hz – 20 kHz ±3 dB), instantly switchable via a footswitch (not included). It is equipped with an 11″ subwoofer and a 5″ woofer with a “W” composite sandwich conduit, as well as a 1″ inverted tweeter in pure beryllium, offering exceptional resolution and dynamics throughout the entire audible range. Thanks to its three internal amplifiers—300 W Class G for bass, 150 W Class G for midrange and 100 W Class AB for treble—it adds up to 550 W of power, reaching peaks of 118 dB at 1 m without noticeable distortion.

Main features

• Focus Mode: Quick switching between 3-track and 2-track to check mix translation.
• “W” composite sandwich transducers: 11″ subwoofer and 5″ woofer for balanced bass and midrange.
• Inverted beryllium tweeter: 1″ with coverage up to 40 kHz and low directivity.
• Tri-amplified amplification: 300 W (bass), 150 W (midrange) and 100 W (treble).
• Analog controls: LF shelving, LMF EQ, HF shelving, HPF, sensitivity and auto-standby.
• Flexible orientation: 360° rotating plate in 90° steps for horizontal or vertical use.
• Sturdy construction: 21mm/30mm MDF wood with internal and side reinforcements in Red Burr Ash.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Focus mode? It allows you to switch from a full 3-way response to a 2-way configuration (mids + treble) to test mix transfer in bass-limited systems.
• How do I activate the setting change? Using an optional footswitch connected to the monitor.
• Can I rotate the monitor? Yes, the plate that integrates the woofer and tweeter rotates 360° in 90° increments for horizontal or vertical installation.
