CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES, EXCEPTIONAL SOUND

DIVA UTOPIA is created using Focal’s unique audio expertise. The speaker drivers are equipped with the ‘W’ cone, a patented innovation that delivers precise sound. The beryllium ‘M’-profile tweeter delivers high-frequency reproduction with remarkable accuracy. The loudspeaker also benefits from the best of Naim electronics, including 400-watt power amplification and a new streaming architecture (up to 348kHz/32bits) offering sound reproduction of unparalleled quality, capturing each and every musical nuance.

A UNIQUE DESIGN

In designing DIVA UTOPIA, Focal has created a musically and visually sensational loudspeaker to deliver total listening pleasure. Nothing has been left to chance in its conception. The loudspeaker has a unique, refined design. The bass speaker drivers are placed subtly on the sides, and the floating side panels sit behind a signature divide that features a backlit logo. The final aesthetic is ethereal, powerful, and sophisticated. Utopia design codes can be found at the heart of this loudspeaker, such as the red and black double grille on the tweeter as well as a brushed aluminum ‘ribbon’ encircling it to represent a symbolic Yin & Yang, evoking harmony between expertise and technology. As a whole, the model resembles a ‘signature watch’. The distinct design extends to the felt material chosen for the side panels, an elegant material with minimal environmental impact.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

DIVA UTOPIA will be $39,999/pair USD and $51,999/pair CAD with availability October 2024 in qualified stores of Focal Powered by Naim network.
