Focal Vestia Series Drivers
Tweeter: The Auria Evo X speakers feature Focal's latest generation aluminum/magnesium 'M'-shaped inverted dome tweeter. This tweeter is meticulously crafted to deliver precise treble reproduction by expanding the high-frequency range at both the upper and lower ends.
Midrange: The midrange speaker drivers now integrate Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) technology. This innovative approach involves circular 'beads' intricately molded into the surround structure of the driver, ensuring proper size and positioning.
Woofer: Woofer cones emply the Flax cone technology whihc was introduced in the original Aria 900 line back in 2013. The cone, crafted from French flax fiber, imparts a remarkably natural sound, devoid of coloration, and showcases a lush midrange along with clear bass.
Additionally, the crossovers have undergone a redesign to enhance the balance and longevity of the loudspeaker.
Focal Vestia Series Finish and Construction
The new Aria Evo X speakers come in three different finishes: Black High Gloss, Prime Walnut and Moss Green High Gloss. Cabinets are manufactured of Ultra-rigid MDF with non-parallel side panels, minimizing the unwanted vibration for more neutral sound reproduction. They also have leather effect front panels.
Availability
Focal Aria Evo X speaker line is expected to become available in February 2024 through Authorized Dealers and Focal/Naim stores.
