Key Features & Innovations
Flagship Sopra 3-way acoustic design — the Focal Sopra N°3 3-Way High-End Floorstanding Loudspeakers (Pair) utilize a massive cabinet volume and twin 8-inch woofers to deliver extended low-frequency dynamics in rooms up to 860 sq ft.
Pure Beryllium inverted dome tweeter with IHL — Infinite Horn Loading technology absorbs rear acoustic waves behind the ultra-light Beryllium tweeter, reducing distortion and enhancing high-frequency transparency up to 40kHz.
Neutral Inductance Circuit (NIC) & TMD suspension — magnetic circuit stabilization and Tuned Mass Damper cone surround eliminate harmonic distortion and provide uncanny vocal realism in the midrange.
Gamma Structure cabinet geometry — heavy 69mm thick front baffle and non-parallel inner walls eliminate internal standing waves and mechanical resonances for uncolored sound reproduction.
Articulated Focus Time cabinet alignment — sloped cabinet geometry physically converges the acoustic centers of the drivers directly at the listener's ear height for seamless phase coherence.
