Focal Aria 926 Floorstanding Loudspeaker

The choice for balance - 3-way floorstanding speakers

The Aria 926 HiFi speaker is the ideal 3-way speaker for the home. It's musical, expressive and easy to install. The sound harmony is guaranteed thanks to its two woofers and the 16.5 cm midrange driver as well as the tweeter with inverted dome made of aluminum and magnesium. Thanks to its balanced sound quality, it satisfies music enthusiasts and lovers of all types of music. The Aria 926 is an affordable audiophile speaker.
The Aria series symbolizes the return to the 'true' loudspeaker for experienced music lovers. The Flax membrane, originally made from flax fibers, promises significant progress in terms of resolution and intelligibility: a very natural, unadulterated sound with a colorful reproduction of the middle registers and clear bass. The design of the floorstanding speaker combines classic style and modernity. All this with the aim of returning to the essence of acoustics itself for music enthusiasts: strength of character in a first-class hi-fi loudspeaker that is still affordable.
The Aria 906 is recommended for rooms from 20 m² and a listening distance of 1.5 m.

Poron surround for silky smooth highs

For the TNF tweeter, Focal has made two major innovations to the aluminum-magnesium tweeter. For the bead that connects the dome to the outer edge, a material with shape memory is used - Poron.
This type of surround is taken directly from the proven Utopia beryllium tweeter and reduces the distortion between 2000 Hz and 3000 Hz - the frequency range to which the ear is particularly sensitive - by a factor of 3.

The wide dispersion characteristics of the inverted dome have been optimized so that the highs are perceived as silky smooth regardless of the listening position in the room.

The Flax membrane is extremely original

This flax membrane has been manufactured exclusively in France by Focal since 2013. With its original design, it is completely focused on acoustic performance. It is a sandwich membrane with a core made of flax fibers, which is surrounded by two layers of glass fiber film. The flax fiber produces a very natural, genuine sound with an enormous richness in the midrange and clear bass.

Their lightness offers good dynamics and their stability ensures rich bass and good damping for a neutral and natural listening experience. Since flax fibers are hollow fibers, they are only half as heavy as glass fibers. Thanks to their very high tensile strength, they are ideal for increasing the flexural strength modulus of a sandwich structure.
