What’s New in Focal Utopia Main? Everything.
At the heart of these monitors lies a suite of innovations that redefine what’s possible in-studio sound. The 5-inch midrange driver features Focal’s proprietary W-diffuser, ensuring breathtaking midrange accuracy. Meanwhile, the 1.5-inch beryllium tweeter has been completely reimagined, with an acoustically optimized magnet system and groundbreaking Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) technology. This innovation slashes distortion by nearly half at 3 kHz, delivering crystal-clear highs like never before.
But that’s not all. The tweeter is housed in a fully optimized rear acoustic environment, complete with a waveguide and Infinite Acoustic Load (IAL), ensuring pristine sound reproduction. And for the low end? The 13-inch long-throw woofers (one in the UM 112, two in the UM 212) are engineered for deep, punchy bass, operating in a bass-reflex design that’s as powerful as it is precise.
Built Like a Tank, Sounds Like Heaven
The cabinets are crafted from 30 mm MDF, and reinforced with a robust bracing system to eliminate unwanted vibrations. And let’s talk power each speaker is driven by its dedicated amplifier, housed in a sleek 4U rack. The Utopia Main 212 boasts two 500W RMS Class D bass drivers, two 180W RMS Class H midrange drivers, and 140W RMS Class H tweeters. The Utopia Main 112 is no slouch either, with 500W RMS Class D bass, 180W RMS Class H midrange, and 90W RMS Class H tweeters.
Focal proudly claims these monitors achieve the lowest THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) ever measured in their anechoic chamber, a testament to their relentless pursuit of perfection. Whether you’re mixing at whisper-quiet levels or cranking up the volume, these monitors maintain jaw-dropping precision.
A Price Tag for the Elite
With such groundbreaking technology, it’s no surprise that the Utopia Main 112 and 212 come with a premium price tag. In the US, the Utopia Main 112 will set you back $29,999.00 per pair while The Utopia Main 212 costs $50,000 per pair. But these monitors are worth every penny for those who demand the absolute best.
Focal describes the power and precision of these systems as a “technological triumph,” designed to handle the most demanding studio environments with ease. If you’re ready to experience sound in its purest, most powerful form, the Utopia Main 112 and 212 are here to redefine your expectations.
