New Media Collection

Why this New Media Collection?

Nowadays, with easy access to high-quality downloaded music, the barriers which were holding back high-fidelity sound have been blown away. New ways of consuming music and audio-visual content are available, creating new needs: compactness and design have become essential; even as essential as sound quality. Computers can deliver incredibly rich game soundtracks. High-definition flat-screen TVs are getting thinner but are no longer able to reproduce sound quality up to the standards of the display.

To explore these new frontiers, Focal brings solutions with its 30 years of expertise in loudspeakers, an essential expertise in acoustics and in delivering sound quality from a space as small as possible. This is undoubtedly the most difficult challenge to undertake in acoustics.

Whether it’s the Spirit One headset, the Focal XS 2.1 and Focal XS Book multimedia systems, or the compact systems Dome, Bird and Sib&Co, they all benefit from the best solutions and innovations in their own sector, in order to be the finest in their class.

With the New Media Collection, discover the “Spirit of Sound”.
