Tri-amplified (250W Rms/Bass, 150W Rms/Midrange, 100W Rms/Treble), the SM11 uses low distortion class "D" power stages for low and mi-frequency channels, reducing dramatically heat at high power, while wide bandwidth class AB stage is used for the tweeter.
Beryllium tweeter
The reversed dome tweeter is a hallmark of Focal. As a result of more than twenty years of development into a tweeter that could produce a high output, but without requiring high energy input and without increasing directivity. And now the company is ready to make a major leap forward with the introduction of the pure Beryllium version.
Focus Ring
This innovative and patented magnetic structure provides extremely strong flux density (2T) with the highest thermal stability achievable.
The "W" cone
For more than 15 years the composite cone sandwich technology is a Focal exclusivity. The "W" process - first initiated in 1995 with the Grande Utopia - now provides a true optimisation of the frequency response by fine tuning of mass, rigidity and damping parameters.
Passive radiator
In order to reproduce the lowest frequency range within a very small volume the SM11 L&R is equipped with a no compromise, custom designed "W" passive radiator.
Advanced Digital Technologies
24 Bits 96kHz converters In addition to a direct digital input, the SM11 L&R uses the latest high quality chipsets performing 24 Bits 96kHz A/D and D/A conversion.
Multiple equalisation facilities
The combination of powerful DSP devices and carefully designed algorithms allows multiple and very precise equalisation.
"Sweet Spot"
A dedicated processing algorithm enables to optimise and tailor the SM11 response according to the listener as position with regards to the speakers.
High Performance Amplification
High efficiency, low distortion class "D" output stages Tri-amplified (250W Rms/Bass, 150W Rms/Midrange, 100W Rms/Treble), the SM11 L&R uses low distortion class "D" power stages for low and mi-frequency channels, reducing dramatically heat at high power, while wide bandwidth class AB stage is used for the tweeter.
