Focal Takes Wireless Speakers to a New Level with the $39,999 DIVA UTOPIA

At $39,999/pair, the FOCAL DIVA floorstanding wireless speakers feature 400-watts of power per speaker with music streaming built-in.

After 5 years of development, Focal has unveiled the DIVA UTOPIA Active Wireless Loudspeakers; the $39,999 USD asking price includes four Naim Audio power amplifiers integrated inside each loudspeaker.

What makes the DIVA UTOPIA different than the rest of the speakers in the UTOPIA line (such as the “entry-level” La Scala Utopia EVO and the flagship Grand Utopia EM EVO) is that the DIVA is a powered wireless speaker.

This means it has everything built-in and one can start streaming to it directly from a network player or their smart phone. Focal has taken the power amplifier, pre-amplifier, and external DAC out of your equipment rack and integrated them into the chassis of the loudspeakers.

Cabinet Design

To start off, the DIVA shares design elements with the rest of FOCAL’s UTOPIA speaker line. This includes the trademark molded curved body, isolated tweeter chamber, bottom vent, and anti-vibration base.

Speaker Configuration

Starting with the speaker section the DIVA UTOPIA is a 3-way design with a berylliumM’-shaped inverted dome tweeter, a ‘W’ cone midbass, and four 6.5″ (16.5cm) ‘W’ woofers in a push-push configuration. This driver configuration is engineered to deliver powerful, precise sound reproduction in rooms of up to 80 square meters.

The DIVA UTOPIA system is comprised of two speakers. The master speaker contains all of the inputs, streaming, and control options. The master speaker then connects to the secondary speaker via an RJ45 Speaker Link cable to form a two-channel stereo setup.

Amplification

To support the DIVA, Focal has included 400 Watts of total amplification power per loudspeaker, spread across four Naim Audio Class-A/B amplifiers in each speaker for the treble, midrange, and bass. 

Wireless Technology

The DIVA’s wireless features (streaming and multi-room audio) incorporate UWB (Ultra Wide Band) technology. This provides high-def audio transmission with no loss, no compression, and imperceptible latency. The Naim Pulse Platform active model delivers fluid wireless connectivity and seamless integration within a Focal & Naim ecosystem.

Streaming and Control

Focal Diva Utopia Remote Control

You can operate and access content using the provided remote control, the Focal/Naim smartphone App, including Google Assistant and Siri voice control.  

Pro Tip: The Focal Naim app also includes a room speaker calibration tool (aka Adapt Technology).

The DIVA is also compatible with the Control4, Crestron, Savant, and RTI control systems as well as Apple Homekit and Google Home.

The Bottom Line

Wireless powered speakers have made big inroads into the consumer market. What was once a product category of inexpensive tabletop and bookshelf models has grown to offer some very high-end floorstanding models from well-established reputable audiophile speaker makers that are quite expensive.  

Focal is the latest to pursue this path with the introduction of the $39,999/pair DIVA UTOPIA. Having heard Focal speakers from across their product range, we have no doubt that these will sound great – the question for Focal (and others) is whether serious music listeners will dig deep into their wallets to meet that price tag.

    Their maybe a big roll-out here, an opportunity to market an item for shareholders; however let’s be frank, nothing new under the sun. Other audiophile companies have been doing for years. However very beautiful design, if not a bit industrial looking and cold in that color.
