Focal 1000 IWLCR Utopia

PERFORMANCE

This Home Cinema loudspeaker features no less than seven drivers for breathtaking sound: four bass drivers, one tweeter, two midrange drivers. It offers the best performance in left, centre or right (LCR) use, for a custom installation.

DISCRETION

The loudspeaker integrates discreetly into walls, vertically or horizontally, thanks to its extremely precise design and ready-to-paint magnetic grille.

TECHNOLOGIES

Appolito platinum

Perfect sound spatialisation

Sensational listening requires perfectly spatialised, listener-oriented sound. When developing the 1000 IWLCR Utopia loudspeaker, our engineers designed an Appolito mounting plate that can be rotated (+/-15°). This vertical assembly, with the midrange arranged around the tweeter, enables perfect adjustment to the listening position, and the best performance when used as a left, right or centre channel loudspeaker.

“W” membrane

Perfectly defined midrange and bass

By developing and manufacturing its own membranes, Focal pushes the limits of innovation in acoustics. The sandwich “W” membrane of the loudspeakers plays an essential role in sound reproduction. It consists of two sheets of glass placed on either side of a central foam body; a sandwich construction that enables us to master the three key parameters of a good loudspeaker: lightness, rigidity and damping. This flagship membrane of Focal know-how perfectly optimises the frequency response curve, providing low distortion and total listening transparency. Sound is the ultimate in precision.

Béryllium Tweeter

For exceptional treble

Membrane shape and materials are essential for high-fidelity reproduction. For exceptional treble, our engineers have developed the Béryllium inverted dome tweeter in pure Beryllium. Thanks to its unrivalled rigidity, Beryllium is the material of choice for high-frequency loudspeakers. Developed and patented by Focal, the pure Beryllium inverted dome is capable of covering more than five octaves (1,000 – 40,000 Hz) for perfect perception of micro-details.

“M” profile

For ever greater impact

If the material of a membrane is essential, so is its shape. Focal engineers worked on an “M” profile for the glass fibre “W” membrane. This “M” profile is the fruit of many years of research and our expertise in membrane geometries. Produced in a single piece (without a core cover), it achieves, among other things, a significant reduction in harmonic distortion, better sound dispersion and optimal power handling. A major Focal innovation that can be found on many products.
