Utopia Be
From Extreme Technology to Sound Sensuality
Both radical and exclusive, the Utopia Be range is above all, the result of an extraordinary human endeavor with the aim to reach the top level of sound reproduction. Working without constraints or limits, allowed us to introduce and manufacture a tweeter with a pure Beryllium inverted dome, a genuine world’s first that pushes forward the quality of musical reproduction. This material, 100 times more expensive than gold, is largely responsible for the sound quality revolution which Focal has created. With the capability to reproduce frequencies up to 40kHz, this real and enormous technological achievement results in musical reproduction of the very tiniest detail. In addition, by lowering the resonant frequency to 1.2kHz, a smooth matching is made between the tweeter and the mid-range, creating a sound stage with incomparable width and precision. The design of the composite “W” sandwich cone for the mid-range drivers and subwoofers, allows complete control of a wide range of parameters, including rigidity, lightness and damping. This assures a more accurate and realistic sound. Utopia Be could not have been created without a demanding and unique mix of technical innovation, hand-made precision and the full in-house control of the entire manufacturing process. Utopia has set the new standard in musical quality reproduction. We are convinced that when the history of hi-fidelity is recounted, it will include a before and after Utopia Be reference point.
Beryllium Inverted Dome Tweeter
Dome/coil optimization delivers an outstanding energy response that is unattainable with conventional raised dome tweeters. As for Beryllium, it offers an unmatched extended response from 1000Hz to 40kHz, ensuring the highest sound quality, as well as a perfect matching between the tweeter and the woofer thanks to its very low resonant frequency.
“W” Composite Sandwich Cone Woofer
The unmatched rigidity offered by the glass layers delivers extreme linearity over a wide frequency range without any low frequency distortion. The structural foam central core’s lightness allows optimal acceleration, without decay, while damping derived from the “W” material produces the most faithful reproduction of sound.
Crossblock
This crossover combines the advantages of a tailored crossover with 4480 adjustment points for greater flexibility and precise tuning. The highest quality components inside this crossover fully reflect the Utopia Be approach and its goal of exceptional musicality, no matter what difficulties the vehicle’s interior may present.
