Focus Time
Early in 1993, 13 years after its creation, Focal-JMlab
realized the need to launch a one-off, no compromise,
reference loudspeaker. After two years the Grande Utopia
was born initiating major technological innovations such
as the ”W “ sandwich cone, the Tioxid inverted dome
tweeter and the Focus Time system and Gamma.
It represented to us a high precision laboratory, which
would serve as the absolute reference for each Focal-JMlab
loudspeaker thereafter.
The first public demonstration of the Grande Utopia took
place in the spring of ’95. But what started as a
laboratory project quickly became the object of interest for
audiophiles the world over. The impact was so big that the
Grande Utopia gave birth to a full range of products
comprising all these technologies.
Innovation is the base value of Focal-JMlab. The new
Utopia Be range proves it. Building on the principles of
the original research started in 1993, we have introduced
the first dome made of pure Beryllium and the Focus ring
and Power Flower new magnet structures.
This manual contains a detailed presentation of the
patented technologies applied in the Utopia Beryllium
range. We are proud to present you with these technolo-
gies that form the base value of our dedication to sound
perfection and our philosophy: “the Spirit of Sound”.
The extreme precision offered by Utopia Beryllium
loudspeakers requires installation by a specialist; your
dealer has been selected for his skills in this field. The
weight of these loudspeakers also requires specialist
unpacking.
