FOCAL SHAPE 50 ΕΝΕΡΓΟ STUDIO MONITOR 5″ 85W

Το Focal Shape  είναι η νέα σειρά monitor της Focal που προσφέρει μια σχεδίαση με πολλές καινοτομίες και νέες ιδέες.

Η Focal πρωτοπορεί για ακόμα μια φορά στα προσιτά nearfield monitors συνδιάζοντας μια καταπληκτική σχεδίαση με τεχνολογίες που παρουσιάστηκαν πρώτα στις κλασσικές και πολύ δημοφολείς πλέον σειρές SM.

To Shape 50 είναι το μοντέλο με γούφερ 5 " στην σειρά Shape το οποίο προσφέρει υψηλής ποιότητας ήχο αναφοράς στο studio, σε σουίτες μοντάζ, σε συνθέτες και παραγωγούς και σε κάθε χρήση που ο χώρος δεν είναι μεγάλος   αλλά οι ανάγκες για monitor ήχο αναφοράς είναι μεγάλες !

Συνδιάζοντας τεχνολογίες αιχμής με  flax-sandwich  για το woofer, ανεστραμένο M-shaped tweeter, καινοτόμα σχεδίαση και εξαιρετικά ηλεκτρονικά, όλα αυτά συνδιάζονται για την δημιουργία ενός ηχείου με εξαιρετικά ομαλή απόκριση συχνοτήτων και παντελή έλλειψη παραμόρφωσης.Ταυτόχρονα προσφέρει καθαρή μεσαία περιοχή και μεγάλη στερεοφωνική εικόνα.

Επίσης με την καινοτόμα σχεδίαση με διπλό radiator σε κλειστό κουτί μπορεί εύκολα να τοποθετηθεί κοντά σε τοίχους χωρίς να χρωματίσουν τα μπάσσα διατηρώντας μάλιστα πρωτόγνωρη ταχύτητα, έκταση, έλεγχο και ακρίβεια.

Με καινοτόμα σχεδίαση και τεχνολογίες που πρώτη φορά παρουσιάζονται σε monitor ηχεία αυτής της κατηγορίας, δεν είναι τυχαίο που η σειρά Shape της Focal γνωρίζει αμέσως τεράστια επιτυχία διεθνώς.

S2X

The S2X brings together the virtues of the ʽclassicalʼ 7” woofer and tweeter combination by using ADAM innovative technologies and top-class materials.

The HexaCone 7” woofer is driven by a sophisticated magnet system with a 2” voice coil creating a greater linear excursion. This produces more dynamics than one would assume in a monitor of such small proportions. As a result, in addition to the unsurpassed audio quality of the X-ART and A/B amplifier combination, this monitor surprises the listener with a very powerful, deep, but always tight and precise low end.

Review at a glance: "Sonic sensation“

“The ADAM Audio S2X can convince in all areas, concerning the sound as well as the workmanship, and are worth every Euro. […] a no-compromise tool for all who mean serious business, whether in music or postproductions.” (www.96kHz.de, 03/2010)

“We started off with a classical string quartet recording and let´s just say right away that the S2Xs floored us. Several adjectives spring to mind [...] - wide open, transparent, effortless, breathtaking realistic, loud, dynamic, involving... [...] If you close your eyes and continue listening, the S2Xs seem to ‚disappearʽ almost entirely. [...] you gradually become less aware that you´re listening to speakers because they´re like an open window on the music itself. [...] Result: These monitors are up there with the best we´ve tried so far.” (MusicTech, 01/2010)

The CMS 50 is the most compact monitoring loudspeaker of all the Focal Professional range. Its design permits listening from 50cm away, while still keeping the possibility of the monitors at a great distance from one another without damaging the soundstage. The 5” mid-woofer reaches down to 55Hz, while offering a controlled bass and a totally linear midrange. The midrange register of the CMS 50 has unequalled neutrality in its price range. The Al-Mg inverted dome tweeter offers outstanding dynamics and a degree of definition in the treble that allow precise measurement of reverb and other effects which are normally very difficult to assess.
