100 OD8-T
The OD8-T 100 outdoor loudspeaker with its 21 cm driver is ideal for large spaces. The compactness and low directivity of the drivers ensure discreet integration and homogeneous musicality in any space. Its resistance certifications, combined with Focal know-how, guarantee a remarkable acoustic signature outdoors.
Flexibility
Its built-in adjustable transformer allows you to adapt its power to a 70/100 volt installation, and to chain loudspeakers together to cover a vast listening area (restaurant terraces, hotels, etc.). An 8-ohm position can also meet the needs of conventional installations.
Certified Resistance
100 OD8-T is certified IP66, an international standard attesting to its resistance to outdoor conditions (rain, wind, dust…). For even greater protection, the loudspeaker is equipped with a high-density damping cabinet and an anti-UV treatment.
Focal Know-How
With an aluminum inverted dome tweeter and a bass/midrange driver with waterproof Polypropylene cone and Polyglass treatment, enjoy Focal sound outdoors.
Easy Installation
With a reinforced, notched mounting hoop and 180-degree rotation, the loudspeaker is easy to install, and can be positioned vertically or horizontally (rotating Focal logo). For optimum integration into its environment, the grille and cabinet are available in black or white, ready for painting.
Polyglass membrane
Well-defined mids
The diaphragm, the key component of a loudspeaker, is at the heart of our acoustic engineers’ research. Polyglass technology, exclusive to Focal, consists of applying fine glass microbeads to a cellulose pulp cone. This process reconciles the excellent damping of paper with the rigidity of glass. The stiffness index is almost 10 times that of polypropylene. Adjusting the mass-rigidity-damping ratio results in a remarkably linear frequency response curve, right from the membrane design stage. This innovation also significantly increases definition in the midrange register.
Inverted dome Tweeter
Optimum space dispersion
The inverted dome tweeter has been a Focal signature since 1981, offering the property of being a true micro-speaker. The curvature of the dome is much less pronounced than that of positive domes. This results in better space dispersion and very low directionality, unlike ribbon tweeters. The inverted dome tweeter therefore generates unrivalled dynamics, enabling sound engineers to precisely control the dosage of compression. The precision of the image (height, width and depth) is remarkable, making it easy to position each instrument. What’s more, a waveguide has been developed to perfect spatialization and further enhance the inverted dome’s very low directionality. In the horizontal plane, the frequency response is within +/- 0.5 dB. This performance guarantees an incredibly stable soundstage.
