FLAGSHIP PRODUCTS

DESIGNED AND DEVELOPED IN FRANCE

All our products are the result of innovations and technologies exclusive to Focal which were developed by our engineers in France. This philosophy gives enduring value to Focal loudspeakers, because these technologies can’t be found anywhere else. To stay faithful to our tradition of high-performance, a 100% Focal design is paramount. We believe this is the best way to have complete control over the design and quality control processes in order to guarantee high-quality products.
