French premium brand speaker systems

Acoustic systems of the premium brand Focal-JMLab (France). The Aria 906 model has won many awards. Currently "exclusive" in Kazakhstan. They are not available anywhere else. Only one pair of speakers left! Manufacturer: Focal-JMLab (France) Condition: New Finish: Leather Color: Ebony Manufacturer Focal-JMLab has at least two features; which distinguish them favorably from the products of other manufacturers. Firstly; this is “not China” - and the buildings; and the heads are made in France. Secondly; The midbass diffusers are made of a newly patented Flax material with unique properties. About the diffusers: The TNF tweeter features two significant improvements to the aluminum-magnesium alloy. The dome suspension uses Poron; shape memory material. This material is used in the famous Utopia Beryllium tweeter; which allows you to reduce distortion by three times in the range of 2-3 kHz; where the human ear has the greatest sensitivity. The spatial characteristics of the inverted dome and very low directivity are already significantly superior to conventional domes; used by our competitors. This guarantees an incredibly wide soundstage; which makes the location of the listening point less critical.ORIGINAL FLAX DIFFUSER where “F” stands for flax; those. linen; and the diffuser itself is a sandwich; consisting of an inner layer of linen fabric with a thickness of 0.4 mm; on which a thin glass film is applied on both sides. Linen; as is known; 80% consists of cellulose; having high strength and low specific gravity. The woven structure has good damping properties; and the glass coating prevents moisture absorption and increases resistance to flexural deformation. In terms of all parameters, Flax is superior to Polyglass; and cheaper to produce; than sandwich W; since flax has been grown in huge quantities in France since ancient times; and besides; the production of F diffusers requires less manual labor. This is exactly the diffuser for the 6.5-inch midbass; installed in two-way monitors Aria 906. It works on a bass reflex; the port of which is located on the front panel. A TNF tweeter with an inverted dome and a suspension made of poron (a material with good shape memory) is placed in a waveguide; expanding the radiation pattern horizontally. The high crossover frequency (according to the passport 2800 Hz) was chosen with this in mind; so that the entire voice spectrum is reproduced by one speaker. In this case, phase and frequency distortions will be less; and the sound is more natural. The compact MDF body is designed to minimize resonances. It is narrowed towards the back and slightly rounded at the front; hence; The side walls are not parallel. Respectively; rigidity is increased and unfavorable conditions are created for the occurrence of internal standing waves. The external finish is impeccable and elegant in a French way. The front panel is covered with artificial leather; and the sides are covered with vinyl film under high-quality walnut veneer. The top surface is made of black polished plastic with a silver Focal logo. Rigid convex grills are attached with magnets. There are only two input terminals; their upper wings are insulated. During transportation, the tweeters are covered with oval celluloid plates - a trifle; but nice. As it turned out during the test listening; To fully realize the musical potential of the 906s, it is enough to fulfill three conditions. First, be sure to warm up new monitors before listening to loud music for at least two to three hours. During this time, the harshness disappears from the upper middle; the sound as a whole becomes more comfortable to perceive. The second thing is to install AC tension stands; at the same time, the bass is subjectively deeper and more specific. And finally, to equalize the tonal balance in the high-frequency region, it is worth experimenting with the directionality of the tweeters. In our; not too muffled; In the room, the best results were achieved by placing the monitors parallel to the front line. After this, the virtual sources focused more clearly; and a tangible spatial perspective appeared in the sound stage. But in any case, the first thing; what do you pay attention to; this is purity and complete freedom; reigning in the upper range. Don't know; what gives such an effect - a suspension made of poron or other tricks; But in terms of clarity and transparency, TNF tweeters are not inferior to ribbon drivers and do not have their disadvantages. The plates are very good - light; airy; with a bright natural spectrum and an abundance of “rough” harmonics. And the stage is built superbly; everything in it is clearly recorded in all three dimensions. At the same time, I cannot say; that the monitors disappear into space; their presence is felt at the edges of the panorama; therefore there is no impression; that all imaginary sources are concentrated in its center. The dynamics are quite decent for drivers of this caliber; Only at very high volumes can you notice slight compression; Moreover, there are no noticeable distortions or coloring. The bass character can be described as moderate; without trying to embrace the immensity; and extremely accurate. Intelligibility and fast attack give the sound composure and rhythmic precision. By their nature, Aria 906 are very musical; they are capable of not only creating the illusion of a real event; but also to convey his mood. And what else testifies to the level of performance is that complex works are not simplified; but they seem easier to perceive; do not cause discomfort. Configuration: 2 stripes; 2 emitters || Input power: 25 - 120 W ||Band crossover frequency: 2800 Hz || Resistance: nominal 8 ohms; minimum 4; 6 ohms || Sensitivity (2;83V/1m): 89.5dB || Reproducible range: 55 - 28000 Hz (with unevenness -3 dB) || Dimensions: 390 x 225 x 250 mm|| Weight: 8.5 kg ||Bass reflex system; tuned to 52 Hz; which is quite low for such a small body volume and compact driver. Nominal impedance -5 Ohm (at 200 Hz); it is also minimal. And at high frequencies it is almost constant and at the upper limit of measurements reaches 12 Ohms. Respectively; at high frequencies the amplifier will operate in a lighter mode with less distortion. Any integrated circuit will work perfectly with these speakers; designed for 4 ohm load. The stripes stand out high; around 3000 Hz; therefore the most important; the vocal range is reproduced by one emitter. Judging by the high peak near the crossover frequency, the filters here are simple; without compensation of the reactive component. Nevertheless, the phase characteristic (upper curve) does not have sharp bends. Such exemplary linearity is rarely seen even in expensive studio monitors. As for the increased tweeter output; then it: a) can be easily compensated by slightly turning the speakers relative to the listener and b) will be very useful in the room with upholstered furniture. The characteristic of the proprietary TNF tweeter with a concave dome is absolutely linear with deviations from the acoustic axis of 30 degrees. (green curve) or changes only slightly at 50 (red). The radiation pattern is extremely wide; so that a clear scene and precise localization of sources are guaranteed even in the most unfavorable acoustic conditions. Sensitivity - about 89 dB; therefore, a particularly powerful amplifier is not required for joint operation. The bass reflex has a resonance at 1500 Hz; but it is not that significant; so that it can be noticed by ear.
