Cultivate the exceptional Focal, world leader in mobile speaker technology present their flagship range - the Utopia Beryllium series
The determining component of the Utopia Be series is the beryllium inverted dome tweeter. Beryllium tweeters are shared technology from the Grande Utopia Be home speaker system, which retails around $130,000 in Australia. This technological breakthrough makes use of the physical characteristics of the rare metal beryllium in order to produce a tweeter that is far ahead of its competition in linearity, bandwidth, dynamics and overall musicality.
Beryllium is an extremely light and rigid metal. Low mass and high rigidity are the ideal characteristics for tweeter cones.
The problems associated with using Be have been found insurmountable by all other manufacturers and the mainstream manufacturers have traditionally used titanium, aluminium and similar metals for tweeter cones in recent years. The Focal-JM Lab research and development team found a way to form tweeter cones from solid Beryllium, and this was a major breakthrough. It is a painstaking and expensive process using a metal which is many times more expensive than gold, but the results speak for themselves.
These tweeters play through to 40 kHz, which imparts detail and airiness to the music. Utopia Be offers a truly exceptional rendering of the complete spectrum of all music, with depth in details, richness in texture, and live dynamics. |

Unmatched frequency response
The extended frequency resoponse (1000Hz to 40kHz) of the Utopia Be tweeters ensures a perfect link to the woofer thanks to its very low resonance frequency. |

Kit No. 5 ACTIVE $2,199 (AUS)
5" two-way system (drivers only)
Kit No. 6 ACTIVE $2,399 (AUS)
6.5" two-way system (drivers only)
Kit No. 7 ACTIVE $2,999 (AUS)
6.5" 3-Way system (drivers only)
All Utopia Be speakers can be used with electronic crossovers or the new Focal UniQ passive crossovers ($700 pair)
An affordable alternative: driver kits with UniQ crossovers . . .
All these three kits are available as 'Active' kits which comprise the drivers alone (without Crossblock).
The drivers can be used with the new Focal UniQ passive crossovers and a simple two-channel amplifier. The amplifier feeds full-range music to the UniQ crossovers which filter the music into high and low frequencies for the appropriate speakers.
UniQ are simple passive crossovers with high quality components. A three-way Utopia system will cost $3499 with the UniQ crossovers, compared to $4649 with the Crossblock crossovers. The popular Kit 6 would cost $2749 with UniQ crossovers, compared to $3799 in the original kit with the Crossblock.
This is a great solution for vehicles where there is no room to mount the Crossblock, where the owner has little interest in tuning and re-tuning the system with the Crossblock, or where a cost-effective solution is needed but sound quality is paramount consideration. This is 'set and forget' at its best. |
