Engineered for rooms smaller than 107sq. ft (10m²), the Shape 40 combines high-end acoustic transparency with a refined, elegant aesthetic. Its Class-AB bi-amplification ensures 50W of total power (25W LF / 25W HF), providing stable dynamics and precise control throughout the spectrum. Whether you're working in a home bedroom studio or a mobile recording rig, the Shape 40 is a professional-grade tool that prioritizes stereo imaging and high-frequency definition.
Product Description
Exclusive Flax Cone Technology:
Made in France, the Focal Shape 40's Flax sandwich cone is a signature innovation. By placing high-quality flax fiber between two thin layers of glass fiber, Focal has created a diaphragm that is light, rigid, and naturally damped. This results in an incredibly neutral sound with low coloration, providing rich midrange detail and a tight, articulated bass response that is essential for accurate mixing.
Innovative "M"-Profile Tweeter:
The Shape 40 introduces the "M"-shaped inverted dome tweeter. This profile offers even lower directivity than traditional domes, allowing for a flexible listening position without losing high-end accuracy. The Poron® suspension further improves linearity below 6kHz, ensuring a seamless crossover between the tweeter and the woofer for a smooth, natural transition.
Dual Passive Radiators & Advanced Electronics:
Unlike standard ported monitors, the Shape 40 uses dual 4-inch side-firing passive radiators. This design allows for extended low-frequency response in a small cabinet while eliminating the air turbulence often found in bass-reflex ports. Additionally, the N.I.C. (Neutral Inductance Circuit) and TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) surround technology work together to stabilize the magnetic field and reduce distortion, delivering a "record-ready" sound even in untreated rooms.
Key Features
Compact Nearfield Design: Optimized for listening distances as close as 60cm (23").
