This Autumn 2014 there’s a newcomer at Focal, the innovative natural “Flax“ cone has now been integrated into the brand’s Home Cinema universe with Dôme, a high-end system made in France and a reference in its category.
Made in France and Focal’s flagship product in its Home Cinema category, Dôme is a « miniature » audio system with timeless design and flawless sound quality.
Since its arrival in 2013, the Flax cone, innovative sandwich cone made with natural flax was a hit with the new Aria 900 acoustic loudspeaker line as well as with the new Car Audio packs in the Performance range. Several awards attested the quality of the Flax cones (EISA, Diapason d’Or 2014...) and this technology now provides now a major improvement to Dôme and completes Focal’s Home Cinema offer.
The Flax cone is manufactured in Saint-Étienne using flax grown in France, a natural, noble material which is both light and rigid, and which enables better performances, particularly in terms of damping and sound propagation. The result: a more homogeneous sound, improved dynamics, and a more detailed register. Enough to seduce you if you love pure and natural sound which is completely faithful to the original recordings!
The finishing touch to the system is the intense and deep bass of the wireless Sub Air subwoofer for a 5.1 set-up. It is perfectly appropriate for rooms measuring 320ft2 to 430ft2.
As for the style, Dôme has a refined design. No visible screws, noble materials combined with a luxury finish, it can be rotated and it is easy to integrate by mounting to a wall, the ceiling or a stand. Free from any cables, Sub Air is easy to integrate into any interior too with its flat and compact design.
Home Cinema enthusiasts can go one step further by adding two separate Dôme Flax satellite loudspeakers (sold individually) to turn their 5.1 set-ups into a 7.1 set-up.
Resolutely high-end, and available in Black or White, Sub Air and Dôme Flax satellites represent the elegance of high-performance equipment and express Focal’s acoustic signature to absolute perfection!
