Studio monitors

Notes: Focal's updated Alpha Evo range features improved materials, new enclosure design and switchable auto-standby mode. 50 Evo is the smallest model in the range but packs a huge punch.

Supplier's Notes:
The smallest of Focal's Alpha Evo range, the Alpha 50 Evo employs brand new technologies and features from Focal to deliver formidable results in any professional environment.

Alpha 50 Evo's uniquely designed woofer features 'Slatefiber' cone technology, a new design developed in-house by Focal France. Slatefiber equipped drivers exhibit remarkable tonal balance and neutrality to deliver the best possible recreation of musical material.

Like its predecessor, Alpha 50 Evo also inherits a 1" tweeter composed of domed aluminium to produce wide dynamic range and excellent clarity.

The Alpha 50 Evo has been designed as a versatile partner for music producers, artists and DJs. Thanks to its multiple input options, optional wall mounting inserts and included grille protectors, the Evo range is also a perfect choice for applications requiring installed sound such as music education.

Notes: Exceptionally good value from this two-way monitor, part of Focal's entry-level Alpha series. 6.5-inch woofer and aluminium dome tweeter. Evo model features improved materials, new enclosure design and switchable auto-standby mode.

Supplier's Notes:
Alpha 65 Evo is the larger sibling to Focal's Alpha 50 Evo monitor and boasts the same exquisite neutrality, tonal balance and dynamic range.

Continuing the legacy of Focal's original Alpha range, the Alpha 65 Evo features a brand new 6.5" Slatefiber-equipped driver specifically developed by Focal to provide neutral sound and even greater mixing insight for audio engineers.

Higher end frequencies are handled by Focal's long-trusted inverted dome tweeter design composed of pure aluminium and capable of highly balanced dispersion.

Alpha 65 Evo is built with versatility at its core, satisfying a wide range of music production and mixing applications as well as installed sound and music education duties.

Multiple sources can be played from a choice of XLR, TRS or RCA outputs on the rear panel, while inserts are also available to allow wall/ceiling mounting where required.

Notes: Alpha studio monitors are specifically designed for music creation.

Thanks to Focal's exclusive technologies, its expertise in terms of speaker drivers and to the mechanical design of Alpha studio monitors, optimum integration is guaranteed. The environments for music production are very diverse, they are not optimised acoustically, or have only been done so insufficiently, and the listening distances vary greatly. Whether for confined spaces, rooms with poor acoustic qualities or for styles of music, which require neutrality, dynamics and high SPL, Alpha studio monitors are the solution for you.

Right from the first stages of R&D, the Alpha line was designed as a solution to these problems whilst focusing on one objective in particular: improving the quality of music production by giving the user better control over the audio spectrum.

This is reflected in the choice of technologies used, such as the inverted dome tweeter, that provide a very linear treble, reveal the slightest imperfections of equalisation even from a short distance away and also prevent auditory fatigue ; the Polyglass cone woofer, which gives excellent damping qualities, ensuring flawless neutrality over the entire bass/high-midrange frequency spectrum, and a remarkable transparency to the midrange frequencies ; and the unique bass-reflex design with large double front ports, which improves acoustical integration even in confined spaces nor installed near a front wall.

Finally each Alpha studio monitor is equipped with two class AB amplifiers. The high-current amplifiers enable complete control of the dynamics of the audio signal. This also allows for listening at high volumes without distortion.

Flagship of the line, Alpha 80 is particularly ideal for producing music which is rich in bass or which requires high power reserves.

This model is composed of a 8" (21cm) woofer/ midrange speaker with a Polyglass cone loaded in a large laminar port and of a 1" (25mm) aluminum inverted dome tweeter. It features a 40W amplifier for the tweeter and a 100W amplifier for the woofer, and has a frequency response of 35Hz to 22kHz (+/- 3dB).
