Combining over 40 years of Focal's expertise in driver design with two decades of innovation in studio-monitor development, the Focal Utopia Main 212 3.5-Way Studio Monitor delivers exceptional clarity and precision, even at high SPL—in large control rooms. Featuring dual bass drivers, dual midrange drivers and a beryllium tweeter alongside top-of-the-range cabinet design, and exceptional power, it provides an unparalleled monitoring experience for reference recording, mixing, and mastering.
This bundle includes two Utopia Main 212 monitors with matched tweeters and midrange drivers, two Focal external amplifiers, and speakON cables.
The 1.5" Beryllium tweeter ensures exceptional transient response while minimizing listener fatigue. For the first time, Focal has integrated Damping Hook System (DHS) technology into the tweeter, reducing total harmonic distortion (THD) by 50% at 3 kHz.
A specially designed MDF cabinet with an advanced bracing network reinforces the structure, eliminating resonance and cabinet warping for uncompromising bass precision.
Working in tandem with analog filtering, these amplifiers achieve one of the lowest measured harmonic distortion (THD) in an anechoic chamber—setting a new standard for high-fidelity monitoring.
Specifications for Each Amplifier:
- High-frequency amp: 140W RMS Class H
- Midrange amps: 2 x 180W RMS Class H
- Low-frequency amps: 2 x 500W RMS Class D
- 2 Utopia Main 212 3.5-way speakers—with matched tweeters and midrange drivers.
- 2 external amplifiers with speakON cables
- All-new M-shaped W membrane midrange driver: extreme rigidity due to its shape and material, with a powerful magnet, to ensure a precise midrange with no resonance and very-low distortion.
- 1.5" M-shaped Beryllium tweeter: including the Tuned Mass Damper and Infinite Acoustic Loading technologies to improve stiffness and rigidity for excellent transient response with minimum distortion—causing less listening fatigue
- Current Mode amplification: the most natural way to amplify a driver, achieving the lowest THD levels ever measured. Controlling the current instead of voltage means directly controlling the force on the driver, positively impacting its response while removing unwanted artifacts.
- Port plug accessory for either precision (sealed) or more energetic bass (ported) are available separately.
- On-site fine-tuning using the amplifier’s feature board: 2 PEQs, volume trims for each driver, low-shelf, high-shelf, soffit compensation filter, port compensation filter (sealed or ported), front LED deactivation, standby mode deactivation, and more.
- Massive cabinet using 30mm thick MDF panels, reinforced with a bracing network cleverly designed to remove any warping, reduces quarter-wavelength resonance while maintaining precision even at the highest SPL.
- Two optimized laminar ports: improve air flow and eliminate port noises.
- The monitors can be soffit-mounted or used freestanding.
- Handcrafted in France.
