"This is the only loudspeaker that has actually satisfied my desire to upgrade."
A favorite of recording and mastering studios, audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike, the Focus SE is the reference standard in full range speakers. More than a quarter century of continuous refinement empowers the Focus SE with masterful resolution and unsurpassed dynamics.
“I started by re-sculpting the cabinet, making it a bit narrower, yet deeper. I stiffened and angled the sidewalls, front baffle, and cabinet top to avoid parallel surfaces and potential standing waves. Facets were machined into the cabinet corners to progressively narrow the baffle with rising frequency. Even the grille of the FOCUS SE has been sculpted to prevent diffraction.
While the driver tolerances on the FOCUS are a stringent +/- 1dB of the target function,, the FOCUS SE drivers are then performance matched to +/-0.25 dB. The measurement data is then recorded in our database and archived by serial number.
I chose to use Solen metallized polypropylene capacitors imported from France as bypasses in the high frequency network and braided silver cable by Ray Kimber to the upper ribbon. As final assurance, I hand-tune the final crossover network personally, before signing the Silver Edition owner’s certificate.
The FOCUS SE makes a statement of quality and performance that I feel is unmatched by any other company at twice the price.”
Since some smaller rooms can load up in the 60 to 80 Hz region when driven by full range speakers, a sculpting network can be activated to tame such conditions. It is completely out of circuit until engaged, yet eliminates overhang or ‘droning’ when needed.
Black chromed cone feet, turned from solid brass, properly anchor the speaker to the floor boundary. A knurled adjustable leveling washer and a stabilizing centering disc are incorporated. An elastomeric isolation pad is installed between the cabinet and cone to prevent re-radiation of mechanically induced vibration reaching the listener.
The dual 12” woofers of the Focus SE deliver unprecedented linear output with snap and definition with rich upper bass and clean transition to the lower midrange owing to a 15 lb motor structure.
The new 7" graphene filled carbon fiber midranges feature a copper phase plug and shorting ring. The stiffer, lighter diaphragm allows for superior transients and articulation. A symmetric array prevents bothersome floor reflections.
The completed system is protected by a custom made velvet bag and encased by three inch thick polyethylene foam for transport.
Marking a quarter of a century of continuous refinement."
