Focal Sopra No3 3-Way Floorstanding Speaker
3-way floor-standing speaker
Compactness, design and high-fidelity sound are the hallmarks of the Sopra N°3 luxury loudspeaker, which comes close to the ultimate performance of Focal's Utopia loudspeakers. It offers more powerful bass than its little sister, Sopra N°2, with its larger woofers. All music lovers will be seduced by Sopra N°3, which harmoniously deploys the bass.
A CONCENTRATE OF UNRIVALLED TECHNOLOGIES
Equipped with the best midrange ever developed by Focal, with NIC and TMD technologies, Sopra N°3 pushes back the limits of reproduction in terms of sound transparency in a compact loudspeaker. With its 21 cm woofers (instead of 18 cm for Sopra N°2), it delivers even more powerful bass.
THE FINEST MATERIALS
Cabinets made in France by our own cabinetmakers, tempered glass to eliminate all vibrations, and a wide range of elegant finishes (Carrara White, Electric Orange, Black Lacquer, Light Oak, Macassar) to enhance the sound. Sopra N°3 underlines the uniqueness of every living space.
EXCELLENCE IN DETAIL
The deliberately visible decoupling tips were designed for Sopra and manufactured by watchmaking specialists. The Beryllium tweeter is protected by a grille with a lattice pattern. The same pattern is repeated on the back plate of the midrange.
