New Focal Pro Twin6 Be 6.5" Analog Monitoring Speaker (Red, Single)

THREE-WAY MONITOR

The Twin6 Be is the best seller of the Focal Professional range and the most versatile work tool of the SM6 line. It represents the only necessary solution for recording, mixing and mastering. The image precision, treble definition as well as midrange neutrality are at the heart of its reputation. The excellent articulation of the bass and mid-bass registers, even at very high sound levels, makes it an unavoidable reference for engineers who require absolute transparency.

Furthermore, the design of the Twin6 Be permits a high SPL while at the same time offering a stable tonal balance. One of the two 6.5" woofers works in large band (midrange – bass) whereas the other reproduces from 40 to 150Hz. This creates a bass that preserves all the signal dynamics, without any masking effect in the midrange, thereby keeping all its neutrality and transparency. Additional control of the bass register is accomplished by fine-tuning on the control plate on the back of the Twin6 Be in order to obtain a perfect mirror configuration with its mate.

The Twin6 Be can be installed vertically or horizontally to respond to the space requirements of each studio.

• Beryllium inverted dome tweeter

The inverted dome tweeter is a hallmark of Focal.

As a result of more than twenty years of development into a tweeter

that could produce a high output, but without requiring high energy

input and without increasing directivity. The introduction of the

pure Beryllium dome, capable of covering 5 full octaves from 1,000

to 40,000Hz constitutes a new decisive advance regarding new

audio formats. This tweeter capacity to reproduce high frequencies

with unmatched speed and transparency. At first the pure Beryllium

tweeter was only available on the very high-end digital speakers of

the Focal Professional lines (SM8 & SM11), but is now featured on the

new SM6 series, allowing an unprecedented price/performance ratio.

• The “W” cone

Focal has been developing the technologies of composite sandwich

cones for more than 15 years. The "W" process (Glass/Foam/Glass),

used on the SM11, SM8 and SM6 lines, provides a true optimize a true optimization

of the frequency response by fine tuning of mass, rigidity and

damping parameters. The balance between these 3 fundamental

and often contradictory parameters is at the base of the outstanding

sound neutrality of our speakers. 

• A custom designed amplification stage

Designing an amp to be integrated inside a speaker requires a very

different set of rules than for a traditional amp. Speaker size and

cooling concerns are often in contradiction with the high quality and

high power requirements of a sonically transparent speaker.

Our engineers used the BASH® technology to develop the bass/medium

amplification circuit for the SM6 professional line of speakers.

This was the only way to exploit the best of class AB style circuits

(for exceptional quality) with a class D type yield, which is crucial

when housing a 150W RMS circuit in such a small space (300W RMS

for the Twin 6 and 350W RMS for the Sub6). A pure class AB circuit

is sufficient to power the -less energy demanding- high frequency

tweeter, allowing for an extremely wide bandwidth and exceptional

accuracy.
