FOCAL ARIA EVO X LOUDSPEAKERS LAUNCH AT CES 2024

The new Focal Aria Evo X loudspeakers follow in the footsteps of the Aria 900 range, with revamped technologies and a brand new finish.

The Focal Aria Evo X is a collection of five products: one compact bookshelf model (Aria Evo X N°1); three slender floorstanding loudspeakers (N°2, N°3, N°4) and one additional model for a Home Cinema configuration (Aria Evo X Center).

FOCAL ARIA 900

Much like the Aria 900 loudspeaker line launched in 2013, Aria Evo X has been designed as an affordable HiFi and Home Cinema option.

FOCAL FLAX CONE

The Aria Evo X opens a new chapter for a signature Aria feature, with the iconic flax cone appearing in the line’s midrange and bass speaker drivers. An innovation Focal first unveiled with the Aria 900 line in 2013, this cone made from French flax fibre is manufactured in the Focal workshops, this technology is now a feature in many Focal products, from integrated loudspeakers to car audio kits, and even monitors for sound professionals.

FOCAL ARIA EVO X LOUDSPEAKERS

The Focal Aria Evo X Loudspeakers feature the ‘M’-shaped inverted dome TAM tweeter, successor of the TNF tweeter.  The surround on the midrange is equipped with TMD® (Tuned Mass Damper) technology to stabilise how the surround behaves.  The ‘M’ shape of the dome is another Focal innovation, capable of reproducing high frequencies up to 30kHz. In the woofers, meanwhile, the magnet has been revamped to deliver more impact in the bass. Focal’s engineers have also reworked the crossovers with better components to improve loudspeaker balance.

MOSS GREEN FINISH

The brand is also offering a new finish: Moss Green High Gloss. With its deep green shade and high gloss varnish, it lends a bright and modern appearance to the loudspeakers. It is joined by the Black High Gloss and Prime Walnut finishes, in all their timeless elegance. Each finish is combined with leather-effect front panels.
