The 300 ICW6 is an in-wall/in-ceiling loudspeaker which blends in perfectly with your décor. It has been specifically designed to faithfully reproduce your favourite music in stereo as well as films in surround sound. Thanks to the natural and well-defined mid-range of these loudspeakers, they really enhance the voice of singers and film dialogues.
The 300 ICW6 in-wall/in-ceiling loudspeaker is the most balanced model in the 300 Series line. Its versatility makes it perfect for reproducing all the characteristics of Focal sound.
This 2-way coaxial loudspeaker is composed of a 6½” (16,5cm) woofer with a Flax cone and an aluminum/magnesium alloy inverted dome tweeter. Focal’s exclusive Flax technology, based on a flax-based eco-textile, is worthy of the famous W cones used in the Utopia, Sopra and Electra lines. The rigidity and lightness of these cones provide a sound with remarkable neutrality and definition. Thanks to two adjustable settings, the tweeter can be perfectly adjusted to the room’s acoustics.
The key quality of these new loudspeakers: Ease of installation and rapidity, with the patented EQI system (Easy Quick Install). No tools needed! These new products also meet the most essential criteria regarding use and installation: frameless, magnetic grilles, anti-vibration feet…
Accessories required for installation are sold separately (pre-mounting kit and fire rated backcan)
Even if the loudspeakers of the 300 Series were designed to reproduce sound as faithful as possible for stereo configurations, they turn out to be also ideal for multichannel applications. It reproduces very precisely the movies’ soundtracks without taking up too much space. These products will blend discreetly with a classic bookshelf or a column loudspeaker system.
The 300 ICW loudspeakers from the 300 Series range can also be installed around your TV screen as stereo loudspeakers or center speaker. They are also suitable for an in-ceiling Atmos® application.
All the speaker driver cones of the 300 SERIES range are made using Flax sandwich technology. Flax is an eco-textile with astounding structural properties: it is light, rigid and well damped for providing greater neutrality of the timbre and better definition.
TNV2 Tweeter developed for these products uses Focal’s exclusive inverted dome technology, allowing for optimal energy transfer and limited directivity.
The magnetic grilles supplied with each product are perfect for quick and easy assembly.
In terms of design, all the products of the 300 Series line come with two types of grilles: a square grille and a circular one, to ensure they blend in perfectly with your interior. Another key aspect of the design is that the grilles are frameless, making them even more discreet and elegant.
The loudspeakers of the 300 Series are very easy to install thanks to the EQI (Easy Quick Install) system. The install frame is compatible with any wall or ceiling with a width between 5 and 30mm. No tools are required. The frame comes with fixing legs which holds the system in place. Simply insert and lock the speaker, either by rotating it for the round in-ceiling models, or by applying a pressure on the frame for other models.
I have only had these speakers for less than three weeks, but thus far I'm impressed by the sound quality. I'm using two of these as rear, ceiling-mounted surround speakers. They are combined with three Focal On Wall 301 speakers serving as the left, center, and right channels. I'm using an older Yamaha Avenge RX-A1010 amplifier and a Polk DSWPro660wi subwoofer to round out the sound system.
I also liked the ease of installation for the 300 ICW6 speakers. The one thing I would suggest as a change in design is to have some sort of channel in the frame for the speaker wire to route through from the terminals or place the terminals on the side of the unit.
I purchased these speakers to replace similar-sized in-ceiling speakers. I kept the back can from the original speakers since I didn't want to tear up the ceiling to remove them. The Focal 300 ICW6 speakers barely fit in the back cans due to a slightly deeper dimension. The thickness of the 16-gauge speaker wire therefore makes the speaker protrude very slightly from the ceiling. Most individuals would not notice this detail. I also realize that this would not be a concern for new installations.
EXCELLENT SOUND
Absolutely terrific Atmos height surrounds.
I bought 4 of these speakers voor Dolby Atmos integration 5.1.4, simply beautiful!
