Key Features & Innovations
Rotatable D'Appolito Driver Array — the Focal 1000 IWLCR UTOPIA 3-Way In-Wall Loudspeaker features a mid/treble plate that rotates 90 degrees to optimize dispersion whether installed vertically as a left/right main or horizontally as a center channel speaker.
Pure Beryllium Inverted Dome Tweeter — delivers lightning-fast transient response and extended high-frequency clarity up to 40kHz with zero coloration or harshness.
Patented 'W' Composite Sandwich Cones — three 6.5-inch drivers utilize dual glass fiber layers surrounding a structural foam core to provide rigid structural stability and optimal damping for transparent midrange and punchy bass.
Integrated Sealed Acoustic Enclosure — heavy-duty MDF rear box enclosure ensures predictable, reference-level acoustic loading regardless of wall cavity volume while preventing sound leakage into adjacent rooms.
Customizable Level Controls & Magnetic Grille — features adjustable HF and MF level controls (+/-3dB) to tune output precisely to room acoustics, covered by a magnetic paintable bezel-free metal grille.
FAQ — 1000 IWLCR UTOPIA
