Trio6 is the new flagship 3-way studio monitor from Focal's ST6 line, that stands out for its extreme precision, reliability and sound transparency.
$6,998.00
Made in France, Trio6 is a three-way studio monitor offering transparency, a level of definition, dynamics and soundstage precision that is unrivalled in this price range. Thanks to its dual Focus mode – either one-way or two-way – Trio6 represents three monitors in one by combining the iconic SM9 Focus mode with the new full-range ST6 Focus mode.
This studio monitor is equipped with a Beryllium inverted dome tweeter, whose frequency response can extend up to 40 kHz. It also features a 5" midrange woofer and a 8” subwoofer, made with composite ‘W’-cone and a 35Hz cut-off frequency. Like Solo6 and Twin6, Trio6 benefits from exclusive Focal technologies: TMD suspension, laminar venting, reinforced cabinetry, IAL, and more. Several other features complete this professional piece of kit: high-pass crossover, disengageable automatic standby mode, 160 Hz LMF crossover for console reflections, making Trio6 a benchmark studio monitor.
COMPOSITE ‘W’ SANDWICH CONE
The ‘W’ composite cone is made in France by Focal and allows the frequency response curve to be perfectly optimised. This cone’s unique characteristics of lightness and rigidity control the signal transmission speed within the material. The modulation of the structural foam’s thickness provides very precise control of the cone’s damping quality. When you’re listening, it creates total sound transparency, a very low distortion rate and an excellent phase response.
FOCUS MODE
The Focus Mode enables the loudspeaker to be converted into a one-way full-range monitor, providing a different speaker driver configuration accessed by simply pressing a pedal – as though there were a second pair of studio monitors with a reduced dynamic allowing the mix adaptability to be checked on smaller systems.
MULTIPLE FEATURES
Solo6, Twin6 and Trio6 include a variable high-pass crossover and a 160Hz parametric crossover to reduce reflections caused by the console or desk. These monitors are also equipped with a high-pass crossover and a disengageable automatic standby mode, accessible via a switch and offering a simple and essential option for controlling the loudspeaker.
DESIGN
The design of the cabinets in the ST6 line uses a thick and robust material, allowing ever greater rigidity and damping to be achieved, with fewer vibrations and therefore less distortion.
