Focal Solo6 Loudspeaker
Solo6 Loudspeaker
SOLO6 LOUDSPEAKER
2-way Monitor
The versatile Solo6 2-way monitor offers unrivalled definition, transparency, dynamics and soundstage precision.
FEATURES
DOLBY ATMOS® INSTALLATION
For immersive listening with Dolby Atmos® and Sony 360RA® installations, Solo6 includes inserts for wall and ceiling mounting.
TWO MONITORS IN ONE
The switchable Focus Mode lets you switch from 2-way monitor to 1-way monitor from the woofer only.
CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES
The ST6 line (Solo6, Trio6 and Twin6) features high-performance Focal technologies: Beryllium tweeter, "W" diaphragm woofer and TMD® speaker suspension technology, which reduces distortion in the 1 kHz to 3 kHz frequency range by 50%.
MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS
Solo6 features a variable high-pass crossover and a 160 Hz parametric crossover to reduce reflections from the console or desk. It also features a high-pass crossover and a disengageable automatic standby mode accessible via a switch, offering a simple and essential option for loudspeaker control.

Technologies
MODE FOCUS
Two monitors in one
A Focal innovation, Focus Mode allows the loudspeaker to be converted into a full-range single-channel monitor, offering a different loudspeaker configuration at the touch of a pedal - as if a second pair of studio monitors with reduced dynamics were checking the adaptability of the mix on smaller systems.
BÉRYLLIUM TWEETER
For exceptional treble
Membrane shape and materials are essential for high-fidelity reproduction. For exceptional treble, our engineers have developed the Béryllium inverted dome tweeter in pure Beryllium. Thanks to its unrivalled rigidity, Beryllium is the material of choice for high-frequency loudspeakers. Developed and patented by Focal, the pure Beryllium inverted dome is capable of covering more than five octaves (1,000 - 40,000 Hz) for perfect perception of micro-details.
TMD SUSPENSION
Stabilized surround, eliminates vibrations
While our engineers are experts in the development of exclusive diaphragms, they also innovate in all the components that make up the loudspeakers, such as the surround that connects the diaphragm to the frame, the performance of which must be mastered. Introduced in 2015, Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) technology with harmonic damping consists of the addition of finely positioned toroidal weights to stabilize the surround for even greater sonic neutrality. This technology enhances the midrange and the erratic behavior of the surround between 1 kHz and 2 kHz.
"W" MEMBRANE
Perfectly defined midrange and bass
By developing and manufacturing its own membranes, Focal pushes the limits of innovation in acoustics. The sandwich "W" membrane of the loudspeakers plays an essential role in sound reproduction. It consists of two sheets of glass placed on either side of a central foam body; a sandwich construction that enables us to master the three key parameters of a good loudspeaker: lightness, rigidity and damping. This flagship membrane of Focal know-how perfectly optimizes the frequency response curve, providing low distortion and total listening transparency. Sound is the ultimate in precision.
