Focal Diablo Utopia Color Evo
Utopia III Evo in a bookshelf !
The bookshelf lousdspeaker Diablo Utopia Colour Evo, part of the Utopia III Evo line, is compact, distinguished, captivating, audiophile. Diablo is the ultimate vision of the high-end reference bookshelf loudspeaker, in the purest Focal’s tradition. Largely inspired from the Grande Utopia EM Evo, it sets new milestones in the bass thanks to its new patented Power Flower. Fixed on a dedicated stand, Diablo Utopia Colour Evo enchants the midrange and the treble with its definition, demonizes the bass with a density and a power handling never reached so far.
Available in the colourways of the brand new Utopia III Evo line, it comes in the new metallic shades of the Utopia III Evo line for originality, or lacquered for a more classic look
Utopia III Evo
Evo stands for evolution… Since 2008, when Utopia III was launched, Focal’s technological heritage has grown enormously. Therefore it was essential to integrate the most recent innovations into this exceptional collection. For a never-ending pleasure…
Our engineers selected the very best components on the market, choosing them from among the finest brands around after testing them in real conditions.
All the internal wiring within the units is crafted in France. While looking at the wiring aspects of these new loudspeakers, we decided to increase the wire gauge of the cabling by 20%. The results can be heard immediately: the sound is even clearer and even more natural.
Finally, for the bass register, the acoustic wadding lining we included inside the enclosure has been thickened for even tighter bass with more control and increased precision.
The Utopia III Evo loudspeakers are distinguished by their distinctive colours, inspired by the automotive universe. Scala Utopia Evois available in Ash Grey, in addition to the timeless Black Lacquer and Carrara White. The shape of Utopia III Evo line is still the same, just with a revamped, modern style. The loudspeaker enclosure will be lacquered in the same colour all over: the front and side panels will now be identical. Detailing is also paramount; black is making a strong comeback, with a Graphite Black finish for the baskets and the tweeter enclosure. These finish choices provide an overall coherence which is more harmonious and more discreet, emphasizing the originality of the new colours even more
It was natural for us to capitalize on the research carried out in 2008, which resulted new and exclusive innovations, particularly in the mid-range register.
TMD suspension: this technology provides a linear frequency response curve between 1 and 4kHz, while significantly reducing distortion in this range. The mid-range register benefits from remarkable neutrality.
Neutral Inductance Circuit: stabilizing the magnetic field was a challenge to overcome, in order to avoid harmonic distortion and inter modulation. The research carried out enabled Focal’s engineers to come up with an extremely stable magnetic circuit.
