Focal - The Successful Pursuit Of Aural Perfection
Focal has been creating benchmark acoustic equipment since 1979. During it's tenure it's evolved to become the benchmark for loudspeaker design and development, working with and mastering some of the world’s most difficult materials. Though its core businesses is high fidelity loudspeakers it's also branched out to amplifiers, interconnects, deadening and more.

Focal's historic core values are based on the union of technology, mechanics, extravagant materials and design. It's constantly pushing the limits of sound to offer you a truly unique listening experience. Focal’s ambition is to make every occasion you listen to music a moment of privilege, where music is respected and emotions are roused. For Focal, innovation and tradition come together to enhance the performance of high-fidelity sound and the beauty of music. The goal is to open a gateway to new sensations and emotions, giving you the chance to experience pleasure in its purest form.

Utopia M Series – Accuracy Beyond Astounding
Not everyone is looking to be hammered into submission. On the contrary there’s an echelon of discerning audiophiles who desire supreme sound quality above all else. Articulated deep bass, delectably controlled midrange, and supremely accurate highs. Barriers are there to be broken, and budget is of secondary concern. This is the territory of the Utopia M range. Developed with every detail heavily scrutinised; this might be as close to aural perfection as can be found.

Design Ideologies
Focal has invested a lot in Utopia M range, excelling even itself. Achieving the goal originally envisaged by the its engineers in making the impossible possible by elevating sound excellence to a level never achieved before. This is thanks for the latest design technologies such as the ‘M’ profile ‘W’ sandwich cone.

An Iconic Kit
The next in line after Focal’s passive 2-way 165W-RC component set, this leading product has been heralded for its performance. The 165W-XP integrates Focal’s exclusive technologies such as TMD® surround, progressive spider, ventilated motor, Beryllium tweeter and bi-amplification crossover. Focal also gave it a new design, steeped in its DNA and geared towards performance. The result is an uncompromising kit that opens the door to the world of Utopia M.

Design Features
The rich heritage of this astute company, together with it’s ever increasing technical acumen; is conducive to these components featuring a vast array of impressive design ideologies and latest technological advancements.

Superior Design Technologies
Handmade in its French Workshops, all the Utopia M drivers use unique cone profiles and chassis. The design of the Utopia M chassis is a subtle mix of tradition, performance and elegance.

Tailored Installation
By choosing each speaker driver in the range based on your vehicle and your needs, you can build your own high-fidelity audiophile system. Tailored installation a la carte, where the only limit is the creativity of the installers.

‘M’ Profile Beryllium Inverted Dome Tweeter
The only metal capable of scratching glass because of its extreme rigidity, Beryllium is the perfect material for a tweeter dome. Two years of research and development led to a world first with the creation of a pure Beryllium inverted dome capable of covering over five octaves. It is an exclusive Focal technology that’s unique worldwide. Focal engineers have now combined it with the innovative ‘M’ profile cone, enabling optimum dispersion and the use of a large 1″ (25mm) voice coil for improved power handling.

TMD® Surround
Originally developed for the Sopra line of high-fidelity loudspeakers, Focal’s TMD® (Tuned Mass Damper) surround has a unique profile; designed to better control the effects of resonance and to drastically reduce the distortion associated with deformations of the cone.

‘M’ Profile ‘W’ Sandwich Cone
Focal’s patented ‘M’ profile cone is the result of many years of research and its expertise in materials and their geometry. The innovative ‘M’ profile cone, made from a single piece; is conducive to incredible rigidity. This element perfectly combines the three criteria essential for creating an ideal speaker, those being rigidity, lightness and damping. The result is an extremely linear frequency response, a low distortion rate and better sound dispersion. Put succinctly; this cone delivers striking realism and level of detail, detail that transports you into the heart of your music.

Progressive Spider
The progressive spider used on all Focal Utopia M drivers is built around a progressive section that reproduces all the impact of the bass whilst optimising the linearity, precision and dynamics of the sound.

Bi-Amplification Crossover
All the components on the crossover have been specially selected and optimised to better control the effects of thermal dissipation. These components, essential for managing different channels and the sound stage; have vastly improved reliability. They’re also bi-ampable; enables the woofer and tweeter to be driven separately in terms of power, resulting in optimum performance.

Made In France
The Utopia M range is entirely designed, developed and manufactured in France. Focal’s workshops in located in Saint-Etienne. Focal has enjoyed a internationally recognized reputation for expertise for nearly forty years.
