Sound Pure's Take

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.

From Focal Professional Studio Monitors

The reference standard of the CMS line, the CMS 65 received the 2008 Excellence Award from Pro Audio Review magazine due to its amazing size/price/performance ratio. Its extended response at 45Hz (-3dB) allows installation without a subwoofer.

 

CMS 65 monitors are characterized by treble definition, midrange transparency and adjustable control of the midbass and bass registers. The tonal balance is extremely stable, even at very loud volumes, ensuring accurate reproduction when mixing and mastering.
