Dôme

Focal invents DÔME®...

...let yourself be seduced

Focal invents Dôme, a unique highend miniature loudspeaker, designed to let you rediscover true musical performance, without constraints and without encroaching on your environment. A high-end loudspeaker through its design, the quality of the chosen materials, its “made in France” origin, its 100% Focal technology stemmed from the most prestigious loudspeakers. High-end also in its performance, inversely proportional to the object size, that’s to say radically different from what you could expect from  miniloudspeakers so far. Discover Dôme, a concentrate of Focal know-how. Let yourself be seduced...

DÔME®, the sonic spotlight

Creating Dôme was to accept a real challenge. Because for Focal, whatever the  loudspeaker, whatever its size, its price, the primary goal is to offer the best possible  performance. This is the Focal sound, “The Spirit of Sound”. When we  created the “Grande Utopia Be”, it was almost easy: inventing the best loudspeaker  in the World, without any size, price or means limitation, it was simply imagining  the technologies to reach the ultimate goal. With Dôme and its 5.5” (14cm) diameter only, it’s a different story, since we wanted to have the maximum music, in  pite of these new constraints. A fascinating challenge that drove us to imagine  new solutions, new shapes with noble materials, speakers with outstanding  performance. A body in die-cast aluminum alloy, an ultra-glossy black finish, Dôme design was thought to be functional, sophisticated, but clean in the extreme. Simple,  its round shape itself is justified, it’s perfect to avoid the creation of  internal resonances (standing waves), which alter completely the tone purity.  Everything is smooth, not a screw is visible, even the joint system on pivot is  perfectly integrated, unsuspected in spite of its complexity. Devised like a rotating ”Sonic Spotlight”, Dôme is a perfect music source for any room in the house, that we wished as essential as a light source.

We manufacture the best speakers in the world...

...you just have to listen

Our commitment, which is one of a great brand of driver and loudspeaker manufacturing, is to enable  you to take possession of the most sophisticated technologies. With Dôme we had to go beyond new  limits to conciliate contradictory requirements, such as power handling, bass extension, efficiency or  definition thanks to our control of the speaker Science that we’re been cultivating for almost 30 years. All our know-how is included into Dôme, real 2-way loudspeaker equipped with all Focal  sophistications: exclusive Polyglass cone, Aluminum/ Magnesium inverted dome tweeter, OPC crossover... Advanced technologies worked out for our made in France speakers on our production site  of Saint-Etienne, that all aim at the research of a high-quality sound. Miniature loudspeaker indeed, but certainly a beautiful object too, Dôme has never turned away from our essential concern: offering a  balanced, powerful and dynamic sound as any other Focal creation.

Shape simplicity, but unconventional technical complexity to integrate Focal sound in Dôme.	Polyglass® cone woofer and Aluminum/Magnesium alloy inverted dome  tweeter: Focal exclusive technologies guarantee outstanding sound rendering.

In Celling, in Wall, on a furniture, on stand

As you wish...

Sober and sophisticated shapes, compactness, easy to install and to use, this is what makes Dôme an ultra-versatile loudspeaker to follow you anywhere in your environment. On a piece of furniture, a shelf or simply on the floor, fixed to the wall or to the ceiling and orientated  towards the listening zone, Dôme possesses original high flexibility. It guarantees you the best performance thanks to thorough  optimization. And if this is not enough, an optional aluminum stand with a stable cast iron base is also available. The Dôme Subwoofer is  designed to give the best of its abilities once placed in a room corner: its strength is at its maximum and its concealment in the room is  total. That’s convenient because in 90% of cases, a bass enclosure almost always ends up in a room corner where it is most discrete…

Bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, living room...

...Where you wish

Incredibly flexible, Dôme can be used how and where you wish. In 2.0 stereo, without any dedicated subwoofer, its resources are  sufficient for small rooms, for an office in centre-field listening, or as a very high-end background sound system in your environment,  kitchen, bedroom or bathroom. In 2.1 version, with the Dôme Subwoofer, big spaces open up, the system has no difficulty to fill up a living-room of 40m2 (or even 60m2), without straining even at high level. And in a 5.1 Home Theatre installation, Dôme will become  perfectly integrated in the environment of a Plasma or LCD flat screen thanks to its black glossy finish and its compactness.
