Focal Solo 6 black ST6

2-way monitor

Solo6 is a 2-way monitor offering transparency, a level of definition, dynamics and soundstage precision that is unrivalled in its price range. Thanks to its Focus full-range mode, Solo6 is two monitors in one, where the woofer alone becomes a full-range speaker driver.

A MORE TRANSPARENT & DETAILED SOUND

The monitors sport a new Beryllium tweeter design with an M-shaped protective cover and a new woofer with an increased frequency range to 10kHz, specifically designed for Focus Mode. Both models include Focals patented Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) technology integrated into their new woofer design offering as much as 50% less distortion in the 1kHz to 3kHz frequency rangea feature borrowed from Focals flagship Trio11 monitors. A new cabinet design has a refined modern look that uses a thicker, more robust material. The cabinet interior features more reinforcement braces, both of which make the monitors more rigid and dampened, equating to less vibration and thus less distortion. All these key improvements come together to produce an even more nuanced, detailed playback than the previous models with new revealing transparency allowing engineers to hear their work more accurately.

FOCUS MODE FOR ALL

The new redesigned Solo6 and Twin6 both feature a new version of Focus Mode which offers a completely different speaker configuration at the press of a footswitchlike having a second pair of monitors with reduced dynamics for checking mixes and balance. The Solo6 has a 1-way single-driver Focus Mode with no tweeter, replicating the concept of the ubiquitous Auratone monitors, while the Twin6 Focus Mode uses a 2-way arrangement with both drivers, but again with no tweeter. Focals Focus Mode lets the engineer remain in the sweet spot when evaluating mixes, saves space on the desk or console, and simplifies cabling and monitor switching.

EACH NEW MODEL OFFERS SPECIFIC FEATURES

Solo6 and Twin6 now include a variable high pass filter and 160Hz parametric filter to mitigate console or desk reflections. The Solo6 is an ideal monitor choice for Dolby ATMOS immersive sound setups and now includes mounting points for wall or ceiling placement. Both models have a user-accessible Defeat Switch for the auto-off power-saving feature to offer a simple user-controlled option; Power-saving circuitry is a regulated product requirement in the European Union.
