MODEL Trio 11 Be
PRODUCT Monitor Speaker
DESCRIPTION
The Focal Trio 11 Be is a highly versatile, high-performance studio monitor designed to meet the demands of professionals in both mixing and mastering environments. With its advanced technology and innovative design, the Trio 11 Be delivers accurate, transparent sound across a wide frequency range, making it an ideal choice for critical listening applications.
It's also a 2-way reference
As a two-way monitor, the Focal Trio11 Be employs only its 5" woofer and tweeter, and limits frequencies to between 90Hz and 20kHz. This configuration gives you the ideal compromise when checking the quality of your mix for playback systems with limited frequency response, such as televisions, computers, car radios, or portable speaker systems.
Albeit less extended, the frequency response curve of the two-way configuration is identical to the Trio11 Be's 3-way curve, giving you a perfect instant comparison that preserves the stereo spectrum.
Optimized bass response in both modes
In the Focal Trio11 Be, two front-facing bass-reflex ports ensure that the 5" W composite sandwich cone woofer performs identically in both 2-way and 3-way modes. The 10" W composite sandwich cone subwoofer has its own large port integrated into the front baffle. Without concerns of rear-port saturation, front ports make it easy to position your monitors near a wall while maintaining superior low-frequency linearity.
Hear the advantages of Focal's Beryllium inverted-dome tweeter
A Focal hallmark is the inverted-dome tweeter — and it's a big part of the magic behind the Trio11 Be's amazing performance. The particular advantage of the inverted dome is that it optimizes the mechanical coupling between the voice coil and the dome. As the voice coil is fixed at mid-height on the dome, it can uniformly move the Trio11 Be's entire cone surface. This design inherently offers high efficiency, precision, and energy, all resulting in an extremely precise soundstage.
W composite sandwich cone helps optimize frequency response
The Trio11 Be takes advantage of Focal's W composite sandwich cone for both its 5" woofer and 10" subwoofer. The unique characteristics of the cone permit optimization of the frequency response curve, thanks to the total control of three key parameters: lightness, rigidity, and damping. The sound is amazingly transparent, exhibits excellent phase response, and has extremely low distortion. Further, the 5" woofer lives in its own isolated chamber within the cabinet; this prevents sympathetic vibration of the other drivers while optimizing the woofer's acoustic performance.
