Focal Unveils A New Monitor, Trio11 Be
Focal Professional has unveiled Trio11 Be, a new studio monitors that is reportedly 100% made in France and makes it possible to work in the nearfield and midfield.
Trio11 Be Features:
More Power and Less Noise: In addition to new speaker drivers (a 5” midrange and a 10” subwoofer), the loudspeaker employs the brand’s very latest acoustic and electronic technologies, which reduce distortion even further. TMD technology (on the surround of the medium driver) for more control and less distortion; NIC technology for a stabilized magnetic flux; optimized vents to promote dynamic control and perfect bass definition; high excursion to give the speaker driver even more linearity, and more.
A Highly Versatile Loudspeaker:
Like Trio6 Be, Trio11 Be comprises a 3-way monitor and a 2-way monitor, which makes it possible to check the sound quality of the mix by using FOCUS mode - a Focal innovation - that is remote controllable and can be activated by simply pressing a control pedal. Due to its Class G amplification used on the midrange and the subwoofer, Trio11 Be delivers a high SPL - 118 dB at 3.3 feet (1 m) - and is extremely versatile when it comes to nearfield usage and installation configurations as well as the midfield.
Dynamics, Neutrality and Precision: A Focal signature, the pure Beryllium inverted dome tweeter was a natural fit for Trio11 Be, offering a perfectly linear frequency response and a detailed reproduction of the treble. Its exclusive profile guarantees optimum energy transfer from the coil to the dome making a high efficiency tweeter (capable of covering 5 octaves from 1000 to 40,000 Hz) whilst also promising wide sound dispersion.
A Rotating Baffle, Meticulous Finishes: The aluminium baffle incorporating the tweeter and woofer is adjustable through 360°, in 90° increments, so Trio11 Be can be used either vertically or horizontally. This function makes it possible to optimize the monitor’s performance based on its positioning in the room and the latter’s acoustics. Finally, the cabinet, developed and manufactured by Focal in its cabinetry workshop in Bourbon- Lancy in France, consists of two side panels and a body in MDF measuring between 13/16” (21mm) and 13/16” (30mm) thick: an indicator of the quality of each material chosen, combined with careful attention to the finishes. Trio11 Be has two side panels in a natural dark red burr-ash veneer and a black central body, for an aesthetic rendering that is also discreet and hard-wearing.
