UTOPIA MAIN Focal, January 15, 2025

Comprising two studio monitors, the Utopia Main range offers maximum sonic precision for audio professionals (producers, engineers, mixers, musicians...) and marks a major turning point in the sound industry. With these models, main listening has never been so exceptional.

UTOPIA MAIN 112

UTOPIA MAIN 112 is a studio monitor that sets an unmatched standard for recording, mixing and mastering. Innovative drivers, patented Focal technologies, power, accuracy and on-site fine tuning; this monitor redefines the landscape of main monitoring.

A TECHNOLOGICAL TRIUMPH

The UTOPIA MAIN range inherits over forty years of Focal know-how and twenty years of innovation in the development of studio monitors. Each component has been meticulously thought out to design exceptional main monitors, delivering a very high level of accuracy, even at high SPL.

ABSOLUTE PRECISION

The ‘M’-shape concept was introduced to both the all-new 5” midrange with a ‘W’-membrane, and the 1.5” Beryllium tweeter, for increased rigidity. The ‘M’ shape moving in and out in a perfect pistonic movement provides a strong planar waveform and gives a true “phantom” center. Those drivers deliver exceptional transient reproduction without causing hearing fatigue.

SIGNIFICANT BASS EXTENSION

The 13” long-excursion subwoofer offers excellent definition and significant extension in the sub-bass, an essential element for main monitors. Multiple simulations have been carried out to deliver ever more accurate bass, while attenuating port noise. The cabinet is made from MDF panels reinforced by a bracing network specially designed to eliminate any cabinet warping. The sound is deep, powerful, and sensational.

UNIQUE EXTERNAL AMPLIFICATION

The patented amplifiers of the UTOPIA MAIN 112 and UTOPIA MAIN 212 use a combination of a Class H design with a current-mode amplification. Developed by Focal, theses electronics offer the most natural and transparent amplification possible for loudspeakers. Combined with analogue filtering, it achieves the lowest level of harmonic distortion (THD) ever measured in an anechoic chamber.

UTOPIA MAIN 212

UTOPIA MAIN 212 is the ultimate studio monitor. With two brand new 5'' midranges, a brand-new Beryllium tweeter and patented remote amplification, it is the dual-driver configuration of the UTOPIA MAIN 112 and embodies the best of the Focal Professional division. Innovative drivers, top-of-the-range cabinet design, power and exceptional precision; UM 212 ensures an unparalleled monitoring experience for reference-recording, mixing and mastering.

THE APEX OF MONITORING

The UTOPIA MAIN range is a technological triumph, inheriting over forty years of Focal know-how and twenty years of innovation in the design of studio monitors. In development since 2017, this exceptional product takes sound and music production to new heights, delivering a high level of detail, even at high SPL.

PATENTED DRIVERS

Focal's unique 5" midrange drivers with an ‘M’ profile offer unrivalled dynamic range and transparency. These high-end transducers are synonymous with absolute precision in all musical registers. The 1.5" Beryllium tweeter reproduces exceptional transients without causing hearing fatigue. Damping Hook System (DHS) technology has been integrated into this tweeter for the first time, halving THD at 3 kHz.

EXCEPTIONAL SUBWOOFERS

The long-excursion 13’ subwoofers and large cross-section ports provide impressive subwoofer extension, with precision even at high sound levels. The bass is even more powerful thanks to the special design of the cabinet made of MDF and reinforced by a bracing network it eliminates any cabinet warping.

UNIQUE EXTERNAL AMPLIFICATION

The patented amplifiers of the UTOPIA MAIN 112 and UTOPIA MAIN 212 use a combination of a Class H design with a current-mode amplification. Developed by Focal, these electronics offer the most natural and transparent amplification possible for loudspeakers. Combined with analogue filtering, it achieves the lowest level of harmonic distortion (THD) ever measured in an anechoic chamber.
