Flax speakers
Focal invents Dôme, miniature speakers with exceptional performance, for all Home Cinema installations. Dôme has been designed with specific technologies to make rediscover true sound, without encroaching upon your living space. This high-end mini speaker succeeds in everything: refined design, sophisticated materials, “Made in France” high-quality design and 100 % Focal technologies from prestigious and renowned loudspeakers.
The Flax technology offers a distinct improvement in definition and better linearity in frequency response.
In wall, in ceiling, on furniture or standing, Dôme comes to your place naturally and embodies brilliantly and eloquently the true Focal sound. It will be the music source for every room from 320ft2 to 430ft2.
The flax cone are made in France exclusively by Focal since 2013. With their original design, the cone are entirely oriented towards acoustic performance. They are made of high quality flax fiber enclosed by two thin layers of glass fiber. F cone are characterized by their natural sound, with low coloration, their richness of reproduction in the midrange register and their tighter bass. The lightness of the fiber satisfies the criteria of high internal damping, high velocity and high flexural rigidity. Flax is twice as light as fiberglass, because the fiber is hollow. It also has very low elasticity which makes it ideal to increase the flexural rigidity of a sandwich structure.
After Dôme Polyglass, the original satellite loudspeaker of the range, the more recent addition to the family, Dôme Flax, benefits from the innovative composite sandwich cone made with natural flax. It has already proved its worth with the high-fidelity Aria 900 loudspeakers and the Car Audio kits in the Performance range. The Flax technology offers a distinct improvement in definition and better linearity in frequency response. Both versions are made of an aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter, other technology developed by Focal.
Dôme is at the forefront of innovation. Its spectacular sound makes it ideal for spaces in the region of 40m2. This speaker is multi-directional and can be fitted to a wall, the ceiling or a stand with equal ease. Thanks to its combination of power and eloquence, it exemplifies the concept of 'sound spotlights'.
Dôme design is functional, sophisticated but refined. Dôme is the balance between aesthetic and technology. Its round shape is ideal to avoid internal resonances that distort the purity of timbers. Observe it well, everything is smooth, no visible screw, even the complicated system of joints on pivot is perfectly integrated and beyond suspicion. Imagined as a swivelling « sound spot », Dôme becomes an ideal music source for each and every room from 320ft2 to 430ft2.
So far so good. However product did not come with New Zealand plug adaptors for the Wireless Sub , which would have been handy to know.
Also maybe an online set up tool with regards to bedding them in/ breaking them in. Ie: only certain volumes, run them in over a certain number of hours. Maybe they do not need to be. But just an idea.
GREAT SPEAKER,SMALL ,BIG SOUND
The Focal Dome Flax look very good, and the build quality is very good.
The sound is very good!
surrounds not as strong as expected , although haven't had the chance to watch movies .Will watch movies to see how they perform .for music will give only 2 stars ,possibly might have to upgrade in the future if that's all they are capable of .
