FOCAL INTRODUCES UTOPIA CINEMA RANGE FOR HIGH-END HOME CINEMAS AT ISE 2025

French HiFi brand Focal has unveiled the new Focal Utopia Cinema range, designed for private home cinema rooms up to 2153 sq ft (200m²).

The range consists of the Focal Utopia Cinema LCR three-way loudspeaker and the Focal Utopia Cinema SUB subwoofer, both engineered for high-end performance.

FOCAL BRINGS PROFESSIONAL AUDIO TECHNOLOGY TO HOME CINEMA 

Leveraging expertise from its professional division, Focal has incorporated the latest audio technologies into Utopia Cinema. This includes innovations from the Utopia Main studio monitors, launched in January 2025. The system promises immersive sound, outstanding precision, and impactful low frequencies, elevating the home cinema experience to professional-grade audio performance.

FOCAL UTOPIA CINEMA LCR: HIGH-PERFORMANCE THREE-WAY LOUDSPEAKER

The Cinema LCR loudspeaker is designed for high sound pressure levels (SPL) while delivering exceptional power and precision. With adjustable crossover settings, including a 0–30° selector, it can be optimised for central, left, or right-channel placement. The driver configuration includes:

1.5″ ‘M’-shaped beryllium tweeter: This tweeter offers a highly responsive transient response and precise treble reproduction, enhanced by TMD® (Tuned Mass Damper) technology for reduced distortion.

5″ ‘M’-shaped, ‘W’-cone midrange driver: Engineered for wide dynamic range and transparent sound, this transducer prevents resonance and ensures ultra-natural voice reproduction.

13″ high-excursion ‘W’-cone woofer: Housed in a solid cabinet with a large vent, this woofer provides well-articulated and detailed bass response.

FOCAL UTOPIA CINEMA SUB: LOW-END IMPACT FOR A FULLY IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE

Designed for precision and power, the Cinema SUB features two 13″ woofers, allowing for deep bass extension down to 19Hz. This subwoofer integrates seamlessly into multi-channel systems, enhancing cinematic effects and musical nuances with precision. Key features include:

Large front laminar port: This design minimises distortion and maximises sound pressure, optimising efficiency at lower frequencies.

Robust construction: Built to withstand high SPL configurations while maintaining accurate and distortion-free performance.

FOCAL UTOPIA CINEMA

The Focal Utopia Cinema range is designed for flexible integration. Both the Cinema LCR and Cinema SUB can be installed in-wall or on-wall, either horizontally or vertically. Users can configure systems according to room size and desired SPL, creating fully bespoke solutions. The range is also compatible with Focal’s 1000 Series, ensuring a consistent sound signature across configurations.

The Focal Utopia Cinema range will be available from September 2025. Pricing details are yet to be confirmed.
