Design Ideologies
Focal has invested a lot in Ultima component set, 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 incorporated into their design.
Design Features
Handmade in its French Workshops, all the Ultima drivers use unique cone profiles and chassis. The design of the 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 special profile inverted dome, enabling optimum dispersion and the use of a large 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.
Specially Profiled Sandwich Cone
Focal’s patented profile cone is the result of many years of research and its expertise in materials and their geometry. The innovative profiled 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 Suspesion
The progressive spider used on all Focal Ultima 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.
Made In France
The Ultima 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.
