Product Information
”The Focal Sopra No.1s are impressively sophisticated speakers. They’re refined, forensic and pleasing in their ability to organise all that information effectively.” ’What Hi-Fi?’
Reference level compact speakers
Packed with Focal’s most sophisticated technology, the Focal Sopra N°1 is one of the finest speakers available for smaller rooms. The IHL Beryllium tweeters combine with W membrane cones for sound that’s intensely true to the original source. Luxuriously built and available in a wide range of finishes, the Sopra N°1 is also one of the most strikingly elegant speakers in its class.
Ultimate top-end detail
Equipped with Focal’s top-end IHL Beryllium tweeters, the Sopra delivers simply stunning clarity. IHL (Infinite Horn Loading) technology delicately and progressively absorbs the rear wave output, reducing harmonic distortion to the lowest levels. The Beryllium material is chosen for its lightness and rigidity. Developed and patented by Focal, the inverted dome tweeter is capable of covering over five octaves (1,000 – 40,000Hz), ensuring super-smooth harmonics and intense top-end detail.
W membrane TMD bass cones for incredible realism
Featuring Focal’s flagship W membrane technology, the ‘sandwich’ cone construction delivers the ultimate blend of lightness, rigidity and damping. The unique TMD cone surround acts as the perfect damper, allowing it to move freely while eliminating harmful vibrations. NIC (Neutral Inductance Circuit) technology features a Faraday ring, creating an optimal magnetic field for precise driver control. Swift to respond to the signal, the cone delivers outstanding sonic precision.
Handcrafted cabinets and time-aligned drivers for sonic precision
The unique curvature of the front of these speakers doesn’t simply provide a more aesthetic appeal, it helps with the sound quality too. By setting the drivers at specific depths, the sound from each arrives at your ears at precisely the right time. Known as time-aligning, this creates a more harmonious sound. Handcrafted in France by Focal’s cabinetmakers, the casings are exceptionally rigid for an uncoloured sound and ultra-low distortion. To get the very best from these speakers, we'd recommend pairing them with the matching Sopra Stands.
Luxury style and finish
With their striking, curvaceous style the Sopra speakers make a statement while blending seamlessly with your décor. The rounded design is available in a range of finishes for the best match with your living space. Choose between luxurious Macassar Ebony and Light Oak for a wood finish, or the timeless Black Lacquer or White Carrara for a contemporary style. For a speaker that truly stands out from the crowd, the Sopra is also available in vibrant Electric Orange. Attach the magnetically fixed woofer grilles for a more discreet style.
Get straight to the heart of your music, with the Focal Sopra N°1 speakers.
