Focal Aria Evo X N°1

ARIA EVO X N°1 2-way bookshelf loudspeaker The Aria Evo X N°1 2-way bookshelf speaker combines performance, quality materials and compactness. Measuring 39 cm in height, it fits easily into rooms such as an office or small living room, whether on a dedicated stand or not. With its exclusive Flax diaphragm and TAM tweeter, it promises renewed musical listening in the home.               RICH, NATURAL SOUND The midrange/bass driver lets you appreciate all the qualities of the Flax membrane, an exclusive Focal technology made from French linen and the source of a natural, uncolored sound. Thanks to the TAM tweeter, another innovation, the treble is precise and smooth.           HIGH-FIDELITY PROMISE FOCAL KNOW-HOW From the manufacture of the loudspeakers to the design of the cabinet, Focal know-how is at work: TMD surround to stabilize the moving diaphragm, a special plate around the tweeter for a better sound image, and non-parallel cabinet walls to eliminate vibrations.         DESIGN The loudspeaker can be placed directly where you want it, or on a dedicated stand (optional). Its elegant finishes (Black High, Prime Walnut and Moss Green High Gloss) combine with a leather-effect front panel for a refined aesthetic signature.   UPGRADE YOUR ARIA EVO X N°1 Aria Evo X N°1 is fitted with 60.3 cm high feet. They raise and enhance the loudspeaker, which attaches to a satin-black metal plate. These matt black aluminum feet include a cable pass-throug for optimal coupling and discreet installation. Their design and stability are matched by an elegant base in gloss black tempered glass. Optional foot available.     TECHNOLOGIES TMD SUSPENSION Stabilized surround, eliminates vibrations While our engineers are experts in the development of exclusive diaphragms, they also innovate in all the components that make up the loudspeakers, such as the surround that connects the diaphragm to the frame, the performance of which must be mastered. Introduced in 2015, Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) technology with harmonic damping consists of the addition of finely positioned toroidal weights to stabilize the surround for even greater sonic neutrality. This technology enhances the midrange and the erratic behavior of the surround between 1 kHz and 2 kHz.       TAM TWEETER Wide diffusion angle Membrane shape and materials are essential for high-fidelity reproduction. Focal engineers have designed the TAM tweeter. Manufactured in our workshops in France, it boasts a number of advantages, particularly in terms of wide-angle diffusion. Comprising an aluminum/magnesium inverted dome cone with an "M" profile for even greater rigidity, it delivers flawless harmonic balance and detailed treble. The presence of a decompression chamber limits disturbances caused by rear waves, for even greater sonic clarity.       FLAX MEMBRANE Purity and precision of sound As the key component of a loudspeaker, the membrane is at the heart of our acoustic engineers' research. After more than five years of research and development, in 2013 Focal unveiled an exclusive membrane made from flax. Patented, this Flax cone is a sandwich made of very high quality French flax fibre placed between two thin sheets of glass fibre. It satisfies all the criteria of a high-fidelity membrane: lightness to offer good dynamics, rigidity to hold the bass and damping to deliver a neutral, natural, uncolored sound. It is an emblematic Focal innovation in many hi-fi products.         REVIEW & AWARDS Focal's Aria Evo X speaker range could be the stylish home cinema solution you've been searching for - Read More "Focal announced its Vestia range of speakers last January at CES 2023, with the Vestia No.1 bookshelf model earning a four-star rating when we tested them.
