Full Description

Focal Alpha 80 Active Studio Monitor

2-Way Nearfield Active Design

The Focal Alpha 80 is an active nearfield studio monitor featuring two integrated AB amplifiers that power the high-end drivers. The Alpha 80s employ an 8-inch woofer with a 100W amplifier and a 1-inch tweeter with a 40W amplifier.

The compact design features an aluminium inverted dome tweeter and a polyglass cone woofer. It also includes a large front bass-reflex port for an optimised low-end response. The monitors boast low-directivity, providing the same sound no matter where you are in the room.

Ideal For Mixing, Mastering & Multimedia Work

The premium-grade components and high-grade circuitry result in pristine sound quality. The wide frequency response ranging from 35Hz – 22kHz is designed to capture every nuance from your source audio. This makes it perfect for mixing and mastering applications. They can also be used for multimedia work such as video post-production.

The studio monitors provide damping and rigidity provide a natural response with no distortion. This results in optimised audio fidelity, providing natural sound reproduction. The natural sound offers transparent audio that allows you make subtle changes you can hear. The monitors also offer tonal balance, ensuring the sound remains identical at any volume level.

Sleek, Robust Construction

The compact 8-inch enclosure makes the studio monitors highly portable. This allows you to easily take your monitors on the move within a backpack or any larger portable storage solution. The monitor features an automatic standby mode as well as 2 constant active XLR and RCA inputs.

The rear of the unit features adjustable bass and treble levels. This allows you to accentuate your audio to different acoustic spaces. This helps to optimise the audio performance of your speakers for improved sound reproduction.
