The CMS 65 monitoring loudspeaker is packed with Focal’s exclusive technology. The aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter gives width, depth and precision to the soundstage, which combined with the Polyglass cone woofer guarantees neutrality, dynamics, detail and precision.
Thanks to its frequency response extending as low as 45Hz (-3dB), with the CMS 65, you don’t even need a subwoofer. The definition of the treble, the transparency of the mid-range, and the handling of the lower mid-range and bass are its undisputable strengths. The remarkable stability of the tonal balance, even at high volume, guarantees work of very high precision.
SETTINGS
Beyond its innovative technology, the CMS 65 is adapted to suit the acoustic constraints of small monitoring rooms with a range of settings: adjustable crossover, high-pass crossovers, bass adjust, treble adjust... Everything has been designed to ensure optimal acoustic integration!
The accessories make acoustic integration ever more efficient to ensure you take full advantage of the CMS 65’s capacities, regardless of the type listening room.
GOOD
i love it so much
I love these speakers for my Home Recording Studio.
Had them for almost 5 years.
One of the speakers is out so I'll have to get it fixed.
Hopefully fixing it will not be that big of a deal.
Accidentally noticed a discrepancy. The monitor has the wrong label - the characteristics of the CMS 50 monitor indicated on it. What are my next steps?
Amazing studio Monitors. Thank you Focal :)
Love these monitors!
Nice Monitors for Producing and Mixing!
they are still since May 2009!
Finally I decided to replace my monitors. I was looking for so many years for a new pair of nearfield monitors, but returned to my first choise. I heard the CMS 65 years ago, tested them in detail and I never got them out of my mind.
The clarity and depth of field is amazing. I have brought non-musicians into the studio and let them hear familiar songs through these monitors and the reaction is always amazement. Its like they were hearing the song for the first time. For mixing, they reveal every note so I can get to the final mix much faster. Highly recommended.
Just bought 1, saving for the partner :) Let's see what are these made of.
Really enjoying the true sound coming out of these speakers.
Best product on the planet. Used CMS40s before and was blown by the quality. This time decided to go for those big boys and can't be any happier. The second one arrived scratched on the face and the woofer grill was loose, so I'm returning it to get a replacement. I did my purchase through Amazon. Hopefully, the next unit will be fine so I won't have to replace or go through the trouble.
Im really happy with this monitors, are accurate, really good low end, and his.
I love this monitors!!
Great upgrade from the Alphas
first one was faulty, with one speaker having to be sent back for faulty mute button.
Very pleased - simply, a vast improvement over my previous monitors! Next step is to get the Sub!
Great so far, after breaking them in the bass is controlled and the mids have good separation and stereo width. Very happy
I hope to enjoy years of listening pleasure as well as help with my voiceover production.
Love Them
Very Happy
The bomb.
Hi Henry, I am sorry about the issue about your CMS 65 monitor. I invite you to contact your dealer back to fix it as soon as possible. Best regards, Marine, Community Manager Focal
They are amazing monitors but I received one not fully functional.
They sound tight without any hype. Best bang for the buck quality.
Excellent! Excellent translation, focus, beautiful, all i hoped for.
great product!
I am Very satisfied with the sound, but the build quality was very poor.This is my third pair.I had two different pairs of CMS 50 that had to be returned because of defects. Both had the same problem.The woofers rubber rim was touching the outer edge of the cabinet with glue splattered everywhere.
After breaking in the focal cmd65 and mix a few songs through them I can see we're gonna get along just fine. No hype . Great translation
very happy with my Focal CMS 65s!
Sound Good So far.
Help me a lot in the mix ! IThe first 2 i recive frome sweetwater had scrathes so they send me another pair. One speaker of this new pair shut down and before sending the first 2, i change this one that stop working with the one that have some scratches. Working perfect Now ! sweetwater send me a new one but i send it back because this one was working ok.
They take a bit to burn in, but when they do, they are unbeatable in that price range.
The have been a great monitor so far. It beat out all the other monitors i tested it against including Dynaudio BM6A, Adam A7X, Eve SC-207's.
They sound good now - They should be even better once they break in!
Audible bass port chuffing noise while running fixed sine wave tests (
Ottime prestazioni
leagues ahead of my previous monitoring system
Purchased B-stock with full warranty, so good price/quality for home studio performance
Babies
Hi there, I got myself a pair of Focal CMS 65 for my home studio..... AND WOW!!! I'm use to ATC's and must say I LOVE THE FOCALS. I'm a music producer engineer for more than 15 years and must say GREAT JOB!! Also Thanks to our local dealer Aki Easten Acoustic for telling me about this monitors... Man they so true and love the mid and tops...... Keep up the good work!!!
Great Looking Pair Of Monitors, Not Had The Chance To Test Them Yet As I Am Still Buying The Rest Of My Studio Equipment But Shall Be Up And Run This Month!
Love the sound of this monitor
Not Clear how to put on rubber feet. Sound is better than my Alesis M1 Active Mk2 and my Genelec 8020s.
I'm absolutely thrilled with these monitors. They're delivering all that I had hoped they would.
This speaker arrived with a small scratch as well s a small dent on the tweeter. I'm not sure if this affects performance, but I wish it wasn't there.
where i can to buy it ?
dope monitors
I did notice a humming from the amps on both speakers, twice at the end of a long day of continuous use. However it has only happened twice so far.
I'm loving them so far. I hope to get many years of enjoyment from them.
