Custom integrators love in-wall and in-ceiling speakers because they seemingly vanish from the room — but there are a growing number of consumers who don’t want to punch holes in their walls and want to take their home stereo or home theater system when they move. Nothing worse than buying a new home and discovering that the previous owner removed 8 pairs of in-ceiling speakers on their way out. On-wall speakers from KEF, PSB, Magnepan, and now Focal are becoming very popular. The new Focal On-Wall 300 Series speakers have been announced and we are inclined to believe that these will be very solid performers.
Renowned worldwide for its acoustics savoir-faire, the French brand Focal have announced new loudspeakers for the home: On Wall 301 and On Wall 302.
Attentive to all uses and listening needs, Focal has thought out and designed its loudspeakers for both Stereo and Home Cinema use, offering high-quality products to be installed on a stand or fixed to the wall.
The Focal On Wall 301 and On Wall 302 can be purchased individually which is important because not everyone wants to be forced into purchasing a 5.0 or 3.0 system.
One could easily create a 2.0, 3.0, or 5.0 system with the Focal On-Wall speakers.
After releasing its 1000 Series in-wall / in-ceiling loudspeaker in January, Focal now unveils the On Wall 300 line. Produced in its Saint-Étienne workshops, the Focal On-Wall 301 and 302 are on-wall loudspeakers to install around your television for home cinema or a stereo listening experience. Focal is constantly pushing boundaries when it comes to the design and development of its Hi-Fi products.
This means that, while the accessories required for mounting the loudspeakers in the wall are included, stands specially designed for the loudspeakers are also supplied as an optional extra. The installation is also very easy and simple to adjust, enabling you to create a configuration comprising two or three loudspeakers around your screen.
Focal’s Expertise
Innovation has been in Focal’s DNA since its beginnings in 1979. And the brand is on a constant quest for more. These new loudspeakers incorporate the brand’s exclusive technologies, such as its Flax speaker drivers, with their cone made from French flax that has sound reproduction benefits recognized the world over.
The loudspeakers also feature the Aluminum/Magnesium tweeter, offering well-defined treble. With its new line, Focal once more promises a sensational listening experience featuring a realistic sound, clear and precise voices, and a deep bass with impact.
Design
With their refined design and ‘angled’ silhouette, the shape of the Focal On Wall 300 loudspeakers is simply outstanding, with aesthetics and quick installation the order of the day. Available in Black Satin or White High Gloss finishes, they fit seamlessly into any interior.
Finally, Focal is constantly incorporating specific benefits and unique uses into its collections, while also thinking of the whole assembly for an overall effect. This range can therefore be perfectly combined with other Focal products, such as the 1000 Series line of in-wall and in-ceiling loudspeakers, or the Chora, Aria, Kanta or even Dôme Flax loudspeakers.
