3-Way Speaker
Based on the loudspeakers that made our traditional ranges so successful, the Zef 17 loudspeaker unites Cabasse’s brand values in an all-weather enclosure. They offer balance of frequency response, depth and control of bass, high efficiency and power handling, precision and depth of stereo image, clarity of timbre.
Cinema, Quite Simply
The loudspeaker inherits the latest technologies from our professional division, including the revolutionary Utopia Main studio monitors. It guarantees a listening experience worthy of the best post-production studios. Every sonic details are revealed, voices are ultra-natural, bass impact is deep and realism is breathtaking.
Unlimited Modularity
For custom installation, the loudspeaker can be mounted on or in the wall, or positioned horizontally or vertically. It can also be combined with other Cinema LCR loudspeakers and as many Cinema SUB as you like to achieve the power you want. What’s more, each loudspeaker is adjustable for perfect adaptation to your room’s acoustics.
“W” Membrane
Perfectly defined midrange and bass
By developing and manufacturing its own membranes, Focal pushes the limits of innovation in acoustics. The sandwich “W” membrane of the loudspeakers plays an essential role in sound reproduction. It consists of two sheets of glass placed on either side of a central foam body; a sandwich construction that enables us to master the three key parameters of a good loudspeaker: lightness, rigidity and damping. This flagship membrane of Focal know-how perfectly optimizes the frequency response curve, providing low distortion and total listening transparency. Sound is the ultimate in precision.
TMD suspension
Stabilized surround, eliminates vibrations
While our engineers are experts in the development of exclusive diaphragms, they also innovate in all the components that make up the loudspeakers, such as the surround that connects the diaphragm to the frame, the performance of which must be mastered. Introduced in 2015, Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) technology with harmonic damping consists of the addition of finely positioned toroidal weights to stabilize the surround for even greater sonic neutrality. This technology enhances the midrange and the erratic behavior of the surround between 1 kHz and 2 kHz.
“M” profile
For ever greater impact
If the material of a membrane is essential, so is its shape. Focal engineers worked on an “M” profile for the glass fibre “W” membrane. This “M” profile is the fruit of many years of research and our expertise in membrane geometries. Produced in a single piece (without a core cover), it achieves, among other things, a significant reduction in harmonic distortion, better sound dispersion and optimal power handling. A major Focal innovation that can be found on many products.
“M” profile Béryllium Tweeter
Rigidity and Purity
Patented by Focal, the pure beryllium ‘M’ profile tweeter combines rigidity, lightness and damping for exceptional high-frequency reproduction. The ‘M’ membrane is the result of many years of research and expertise. Made in a single piece, it improves sound dispersion, reduces distortion and ensures optimum power handling.
