Focal’s Trio6 monitors are the 3-way flagship professional loudspeakers from the manufacturer’s ST6 range. Innovative speaker drivers, Focus Mode, switchable automatic stand-by, laminar port and a strengthened cabinet are just some of the features showcased on this versatile work tool, delivering uncompromising performance and ultimately providing more detail and transparency.
A highlight is the Focus Mode, which lets you switch from a 3-way to a 2-way monitor, offering a different speaker configuration on the fly. Trio6 features multiple Focus Modes for extreme versatility: a 3-way monitor, a 2-way monitor (midrange and tweeter) and a 1-way full-range monitor (midrange only). This new configuration of speaker drivers is available by simply pressing a pedal – as though you had a second pair of studio monitors with reduced frequency response enabling you to check how the mix would adapt to smaller systems. Sound engineers can then preserve the sweet spot when mixing, save space on the desk or console, and simplify cabling and monitor changes.
Made in France at the Focal Workshop, Trio6 is equipped with an 8″ subwoofer with a ‘W’ cone – a patented innovation. Additional features are the 5″ midrange woofer incorporating TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) technology, reducing distortion in the 1kHz to 3kHz frequency range by 50%, and a new beryllium tweeter boasting IAL (Infinite Acoustic Loading) to control resonance. Its large laminar port significantly limits port noise and its strengthened cabinet provides even better rigidity and damping, fewer vibrations and therefore less distortion. Trio6 offers remarkable sound neutrality across the full sound spectrum, as well as a precise midrange, impactful bass and excellent dynamics resulting in very low distortion level.
Like Solo6 and Twin6, Trio6 includes a variable high- pass crossover, a 160Hz parametric crossover to reduce reflections from the console, and an automatic stand-by mode that can be disengaged using a switch the user can access for better loudspeaker control. With its impressively fluid speaker drivers, its fully analogue filtering and its carefully considered design to enhance performance, Trio6 is a versatile work tool that will win the complete confidence of sound engineers, sound designers, composers, beat makers and producers alike.
