Users can now enjoy Focal sound in even larger spaces, as the leading French audio brand unveiled the 100-T Series line at the ISE international exhibition in Barcelona. This range of in-ceiling and outdoor loudspeakers is designed for large residential and professional spaces, such as hotels, shops and restaurants. The seven products are direct descendants of Focal’s 100 Series, with new features and international certifications to meet the requirements of large-scale integrated systems.
Seven New Loudspeakers
100-T Series includes seven loudspeakers to cover all bases:
– three in-ceiling products (100 ICW5-T, 100 ICW6-T, 100 ICW8-T)
– two IP66-certified outdoor loudspeakers (100 OD6-T and 100 OD8-T), rated for their guaranteed protection against dust and water
– two UL®-certified closed coaxial in-ceiling loudspeakers (100 ICS6-T UL and 100 IC8-T UL), fitted with front panel vents for optimum bass reproduction.
These loudspeakers are direct descendants of 100 Series in terms of design, technologies — Polyglass cone, Aluminium tweeter — and its excellent sound quality even at low volume. They are compact, slimline and have magnetic, ready-to-paint grilles, which makes them easy to fit and very discreet.
Meeting the Requirements of Large Open Spaces
Whereas Focal created its 100 Series for the residential market, the 100-T Series line is designed for larger spaces and will meet the requirements of all clients in this sector. The speaker drivers are designed to have very low directivity and remove any “shower effect” so the sound can cover a large listening area. What’s more, the in-ceiling and outdoor products have an adjustable transformer which adjusts the power of each loudspeaker for 70 volt or 100 volt systems. As for the in-ceiling coaxial loudspeakers, they are UL®-certified (UL 1480 and UL 2043) meaning they are fully compliant with current regulations on fire and electric shock risks. As well as being fire protected, the loudspeakers can also be used to sound the alarm if necessary.
