5.1.2 HOME CINEMA SYSTEM
THREE SIB EVO SATELLITES, TWO SIB EVO DOLBY ATMOS® LOUDSPEAKERS, AND ONE CUB EVO SUBWOOFER
Dare to bring the authentic sound of cinema into your living room, with the Dolby Atmos enabled Sib Evo 5.1.2 Home Cinema System. Your favorite films will become a completely new experience. Although Dolby Atmos hasn't made itself into every living room across the world, the future is in the sound effects the system offers. Using the verticle plane to reflect sound off the ceiling, Sib Evo gives you the impression of 3D sound, that plunges you straight into the action.
For Dolby Atmos to be enabled, a sound system needs to be at least 5.1.2, so first Focal integrated it into our 5.1.2 Sib Evo. The system is composed of two loudspeakers equipped with an additional speaker driver on the top of the units, it is this driver that houses the Dolby Atmos technology. This new-generation of loudspeakers as designed to produce both horizontal and vertical sound waves. Get ready to live a completely new audio home-cinema experience. This pack is ideal for rooms measuring 100ft2 to 540ft2 (10 to 50m2). Blending seemlessly into your living room or home-theatre.
Sib Evo is composed of a 5″ Polyflex speaker driver and a 1″ silk dome tweeter integrated into a sizeable enclosure in order to give it extended frequency response. The Dolby Atmos® loudspeaker is equipped with an additional 3″ full-range Polyflex speaker driver on top dedicated to the Atmos® effects. The Cub Evo subwoofer recalls the same design codes as our Hi-Fi subwoofers in a ‘‘lifestyle” product. Equipped with an 8’’ speaker driver and a 200W Class D amplifier, it’s characterised by its MDF structure and its Matt Black finish.
Sib & Co has been a reference in the Home Cinema market since 2002! This new Sib Evo edition completes the first: the two systems are perfectly compatible. The performance has been improved and the size has been increased. The 5.1.2 set-up is a very coherent system providing you with unprecedented sensations! This pack of Sib Evo Dolby Atmos® loudspeakers will complete your 5.1 set-up, turning it into a 5.1.2 system.
The particularity with this loudspeaker is its capability to reproduce the Atmos® effects of cinemas in the comfort of your own home. In addition to the front-firing speaker driver, an additional full-range speaker driver has been integrated into the top of the loudspeaker. This system prevents having to add accessories to your loudspeakers to reproduce the vertical effects, which may spoil the design or the overall harmony of the system. This surrounds the spectator with sound effects, particularly those coming from above, a major innovation for this type of product. Imagine an action scene with planes flying overhead, rain falling down or the rumbling of thunder... Atmos®-enabled loudspeakers, through the front-firing and vertical-firing speaker drivers, form a complete system with all elements working in perfect harmony. Thus, Sib Evo is an excellent system which is compact and structured.
Bought these to complement my Aria 926, & CC900, front stage. The finish is first class, for it’s price. & they have some weight to them. They are being used as height & atmos. The sound is crystal clear. As for the Cub sub, it’s a little beast.
GOOD PRODUCT
Awesome kit
Great product amazing sound and solid build
Excellent Dolby Atmos speaker package. Highly Recommended.
Il prodotto è ottimo e si sente bene
Excellent product with outstanding tonal characteristics despite their relatively small stature. Cub Evo not the strongest subwoofer but easily up to the job if you have close neighbours. Curvy style aesthetically pleasing and blends with room furniture.
Nice and complete Atmos set, speakers and subwoofer are good in balance. I have them playing on a Marantz NR1710.
My review mainly has to do with the installation of these speakers. The area where I was installing required that four of the speakers (front L,R and Rear L, R) be wall mounted. The wall mounts, although sexy looking, are very clunky to install and have very soft allen wrench tightening characteristics for positioning the speakers, and final speaker wire installation is crazy. Although Focal claims the wall mounts are appropriate for the weight of the two front speakers, which are nearly 8lbs, I found the speaker positioning screws to be barely able to hold them up - mainly due to the difficulty in tightening down the allen screws. In fact, one of the wall mounts we ended up having to throw away because the positioning screws got stripped. In addition the sheet rock screws supplied with the mounts were garbage - we had to purchase them separately at a hardware store.
That said, the sound is good. I would not use these speakers for high fidelity music listening, but their use for TV/movie viewing is excellent. In addition, they are a great size for a small room. The cub evo gives a nice base boost. OVerall, these speakers look great and sound good for tv viewing. Just go into this knowing that you are in for some work to install these as wall mounted speakers!
its early days but seems like an excellent speaker system
Great package with an amazing sound
Great sound and design, paired with a Denon AV-R S750H. I am still learning how to adjust it correctly but very impressed so far! That's my first Focal, but happy with my acquisition.
Still early on, but i'm loving it so far. Sound is great, and it was way easier to set up than I had thought( heard complaints about imputing the speaker wire)
who knows, might add a couple speakers in the future to make this 7.1.2
Superb...
easy to instal
supersound
I purchased an additional Cub Evo to run a 5.2.2 configuration, with subs placed at rear corners of a 5m x 5m room - they are a fantastic sounding set of speakers and one of the few on the market with a nice modern aesthetic.
I love this product. I have it paired with a Denon 3400 AV in a room approx 6m x 4m and the sound is exquisite.
Nice.
Dolby atmos on rear speakers would be even nicer, as would a more powerful sub.
Initially love the set up, however now have a problem with centre speaker not working properly. Tried the system at full volume last night (24th Feb)for less than 1 minute and centre speaker gave off a burning smell and now only part sound coming through. All other parts of system are ok. Will have to refer to shop and possibly manufacturer.
