Product Overview

Flagship Performance and Rich Bass

The Alpha 80 Evo replaces the original Alpha 80 with upgraded Slatefiber technology and Class-D bi-amplification for more precise signal control. Its 8-inch driver offers significant low-end reach, extending down to 38Hz, which often eliminates the need for a separate subwoofer in medium-sized rooms. The cabinet is constructed from 15mm MDF with internal bracing to maintain high rigidity, ensuring distortion-free performance even at high output levels.

Product Description

Slatefiber Cone for Sonic Neutrality:

Handcrafted in France, the Focal Alpha 80 Evo's Slatefiber woofer is made from recycled non-woven carbon fibers mixed with a thermoplastic polymer. This combination creates a cone that is exceptionally light yet rigid, providing excellent damping. This translates to a sound that is fast, detailed, and completely neutral across the full spectrum, allowing you to hear exactly what is in your mix without any "flattering" coloration.

High-Definition Treble and Spatial Imaging:

Focal’s signature 1-inch aluminum inverted dome tweeter works in tandem with a custom waveguide to ensure low directivity. This means you maintain the same tonal balance throughout the room, providing a wide "sweet spot" for collaborative mixing. The tweeter delivers a fine, precise treble response up to 22kHz, making it easy to identify subtle EQ shifts and compression artifacts.

Versatile Inputs and Room Integration:

Designed for the modern studio, the Alpha 80 Evo allows for the simultaneous connection of up to three audio sources via XLR, TRS, and RCA inputs. The front laminar port is specially designed to limit air noise, allowing you to place the monitors close to walls or in corners without creating "muddy" bass. For further fine-tuning, the rear panel includes LF and HF shelving EQ to adapt the monitor's response to your specific acoustic environment.
