Focal Alpha Twin Evo Active 2.5-Way Studio Monitor
Overview
Alpha Twin Evo features excellent dynamics, neutral tonal balance and wide dispersion, enabling it to maintain an identical sound signature over a wide sweet spot. Thanks to its diverse features, this monitoring loudspeaker is versatile, satisfying the need for high sound performance as well as precision across the entire frequency spectrum.
Key Highlights
Focal Technologies
Behind a modern, compact design, the 25 mm aluminum tweeter and 16.5 cm Slatefiber woofers—Focal innovations made in France—deliver precise, distortion-free treble and perfectly balanced midrange.
Polyvalence
Disengageable auto-sleep mode, XLR, TRS and RCA inputs, bass and treble level settings: the wide range of functions on offer ensures versatility of use.
Positioning
The monitor is positioned horizontally: you can choose which woofer will produce the midrange using the switch on the rear panel. We recommend keeping the midrange driver inside, on the right for the left loudspeaker, on the left for the right.
Advanced Technologies
Aluminum Tweeter: High-Finesse Treble
Manufactured by Focal, the inverted dome tweeter has been a signature since 1981. It offers the property of being a true micro loudspeaker. The curvature of the dome is significantly less pronounced than that of positive domes. This allows for better spatial dispersion and offers very low directivity, unlike ribbon tweeters. The inverted dome tweeter therefore generates unrivaled dynamics. In addition to the dome shapes, our engineers work on the materials. Here they chose aluminum, which increases the rigidity of the dome and reduces distortion. And to perfect the spatialization of the sound, a waveguide was developed. In the horizontal plane, the frequency response is within a deviation of +/- 0.5 dB. This performance guarantees an incredibly stable soundstage.
Slatefiber Membrane: Dynamic and Balanced Sound
Exclusive to Focal and made in France, the Slatefiber cone is made of recycled carbon fibers and thermoplastic polymer. In pursuit of perfection, our engineers have chosen to use non-woven carbon fibers oriented in the same direction to achieve even greater rigidity, damping, and lightness—the "essentials" of a good speaker. Recognized for its reproduction of dynamic, rich, and balanced sound, this cone has proven itself on numerous products for the home, for professionals in recording studios, and also for listening in cars.
