Sound Pure's Take

Studio Monitors, possibly more-so than any other component of a recording studio are a point of personal preference. There's no one size fits all monitor on the market, but these twin6's have worked quite well in our studio here at Sound Pure. You're also likely to find a lot of other big fans of this monitor if you ask around or check the forums, and I would argue that a large part of the positive consensus on this monitor is due to their ability to represent a huge amount of detail and definition while still remaining a playback system that's easy to listen to. If you're sick of sitting infront of studio monitors that seem to be screaming at you with all of their detail, you owe it to yourself to try a pair of twins. Think of these as a monitor that still has that level of detail, but instead of screaming about it, these monitors present it to you in a much gentler way. If you have trouble engineering for long periods of time, or you want to get great mixes AND enjoy the process while you're making a mix, these monitors deserve to be on your short list.

From Focal Professional Studio Monitors

The Twin6 Be is the best seller of the Focal Professional range and the most versatile work tool of the SM6 line. It represents the only necessary solution for recording, mixing and mastering. The image precision, treble definition as well as midrange neutrality are at the heart of its reputation.


The excellent articulation of the bass and midbass registers, even at very high sound levels, makes it an unavoidable reference for engineers who require absolute transparency. Furthermore, the design of the Twin6 Be permits a high SPL while at the same time offering a stable tonal balance. One of the two 6.5" woofers works in large band (midrange – bass) whereas the other reproduces from 40 to 150Hz. This creates a bass that preserves all the signal dynamics, without any masking effect in the midrange, thereby keeping all its neutrality and transparency. Additional control of the bass register is accomplished by fine-tuning on the control plate on the back of the Twin6 Be in order to obtain a perfect mirror configuration with its mate. The Twin6 Be can be installed vertically or horizontally to respond to the space requirements of each studio.
