Focal has made a fast start to 2024 by unveiling the new Aria Evo X series of loudspeakers, which replaces one of its most popular series, the Aria 900 line of speakers (Focal also introduced more affordable Vestia and Theva series in 2023).

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.
