What We Think

We are all aware of just how important it is to hear as much of what is really going on in your mix as possible. For us, the Focal CMS-65 represent the very best price vs. performance studio monitor set currently available. The 6.5" woofer allows for higher volume and deeper, more accurate bass to impress clients and finally hear all the nuance of your mix that you've been missing out on.

Focal CMS50 and CMS65 Studio Monitors at AES NYC, Oct. '09

Focal Professional Introduces The CMS50 and CMS65 studio monitors at their booth at AES booth to Sound Pure. The CMS line is the latest arrival in the Focal Professional range. With a smaller footprint and lower price tag than the SM6 (and certainly the SM11 line) CMS is particularly dedicated to postproduction studios, small listening rooms, radio studios and home studios. The CMS 50 is the most compact monitoring loudspeaker of all the Focal Professional range. Its design permits listening from 50cm away, while still keeping the possibility of the monitors at a great distance from one another without damaging the soundstage. The 5 mid-woofer reaches down to 55Hz, while offering a controlled bass and a totally linear midrange. The CMS 65 is the reference of the CMS line. On its introduction at AES in San Francisco 2008, it immediately received the Excellence Award from the magazine Pro Audio Review due to its amazing size/price/performance ratio. Its extended response at 45Hz (-3dB) allows an installation without a subwoofer. Treble definition, midrange transparency and control of the midbass and bass registers are all key points of the CMS 65. The outstanding stability of the tonal balance, even at very high sound level, ensures very high quality when mastering.
