Focal Shape 65 Professional Active Studio Monitor

Focal Shape 65: The Reference Standard for Nearfield Monitoring

The Focal Shape 65 is the benchmark of the Shape series, offering unparalleled monitoring quality across the entire frequency spectrum. Engineered specifically for nearfield applications, this monitor excels in small to mid-sized project studios and editing suites in the UAE. It combines innovative driver materials with a unique cabinet design to deliver a neutral, transparent sound that reveals the finest details of your mix without adding coloration.

Advanced Flax Cone and "M" Profile Tweeter Technology

At the core of the Shape 65 are proprietary technologies developed by Focal’s engineers in France to ensure maximum sound definition:

• Flax Sandwich Cone: The 6.5-inch woofer uses a composite of high-quality flax fiber and glass fiber. This material is twice as light as traditional glass fiber but significantly more rigid, providing articulated bass and a natural, detailed midrange.
• "M"-Shaped Inverted Dome Tweeter: The 1-inch Aluminum/Magnesium tweeter features an "M" profile that provides greater mechanical rigidity and lower directivity. This results in a wider "sweet spot" and a more linear frequency response up to 35 kHz.
• TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) Suspension: This technology stabilizes the surround, eliminating vibrations and ensuring remarkable neutrality in the critical 1 kHz to 2 kHz range.
• NIC (Neutral Inductance Circuit): Optimizes the magnetic field to ensure high-definition sound and reduced distortion.

Portless Design with Double Passive Radiators

The Shape 65 is uniquely designed without a traditional bass port. Instead, it features dual 6.5-inch passive radiators on the sides of the cabinet. This innovation allows for extended low-frequency response and high power handling in a compact footprint. More importantly, it eliminates air turbulence and port noise, allowing you to place the monitors directly against a wall or in tight corners without the unwanted bass buildup common in ported designs.

Precision Integration and Control

The rear panel of the Shape 65 is equipped with comprehensive controls to adapt the speaker to any acoustic environment:

• Adjustable High-Pass Filter: Settings for Full Range, 45 Hz, 60 Hz, and 90 Hz for seamless integration with subwoofers.
• 3-Band EQ: Includes a low-shelf (+/- 6dB at 250 Hz), a high-shelf (+/- 3dB at 4.5 kHz), and a specialized 160 Hz filter (+/- 3dB) to compensate for reflections from mixing consoles or desks.
• Connectivity: Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs with sensitivity compensation for professional or mobile audio interfaces.
• Mounting Options: Features mounting inserts on the back and underside for installation on wall brackets, ceiling mounts, or floor stands.
