Enjoy refined high-end acoustics with the black Aria Evo X N°1 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker from Focal. The Aria Evo X N°1 features the Focal exclusive M-shaped inverted dome TAM tweeter and Flax sandwich woofer to provide natural sound with low coloration and directivity.

The Aria Evo X N°1 is constructed from ultra-rigid MDF with non-parallel side panels to reduce vibration, finished in a beautiful black high-gloss. This speaker provides a fantastic stereo bookshelf option, or combine it with the rest of the Aria line to create full surround sound. The Aria Evo X N°1 is recommended for rooms measuring from 161 ft² and from a listening distance of 7 to 10'. All Focal speakers drivers are developed and manufactured in France by Focal.

The M-shaped inverted dome TAM tweeter is the successor of the TNF tweeter from the previous Aria generation. It comprises an inverted dome cone made from an aluminium-magnesium alloy, which Focal has molded into the exclusive M shape. This innovative feature reproduces the treble more faithfully by going further into the high and low ends of the spectrum. Its directivity is even less that of the inverted dome tweeter, allowing for more flexibility in terms of listening position. Mechanically speaking, the M shape gives the dome much more rigidity, while reducing distortion even more.

More than 30 years of research and development into engineering a diaphragm that is light, rigid, well damped, and made of sustainable materials has lead Focal to the Flax sandwich or F cone. Flax is twice as light as fiberglass, because the fiber is hollow. It also has very-low elasticity, which makes it ideal to increase the flexural rigidity of the sandwich. To design a high-performance diaphragm, you have to optimize a complex set of criteria, which is, for the most part, contradictory. The composite solution using Flax in a sandwich structure with fiberglass skins is a very harmonious way of combining low mass with high internal damping, high velocity of sound, and high flexural rigidity.

The Flax cone is made in France exclusively by Focal since 2013. With their original design, the cone is entirely oriented towards acoustic performance. F cone is characterized by its natural sound, with low coloration, its richness of reproduction in the midrange register and its tighter bass.

The midrange speaker drivers of the Aria Evo X line boast the TMD. The Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is a patented technology involving circular beads molded into the mass of the surround and judiciously sized and positioned. They stabilize how the surround behaves to avoid deformation of the cone and any negative impact on the dynamics, which leads to more faithfully reproduced midrange sound.

Founded in 1979, Focal continues to write its own history each day, driven by men and women who possess unique know-how. Focal is proud to manufacture exceptional products in their production workshops in Saint Étienne and cabinetry workshops in Bourbon-Lancy, France. Every day they honor this exclusive heritage, which has afforded Focal certification as a French Living Heritage Company and recognition worldwide.

Q: 7. what amp works best?

A: Hi, Thank you for reaching out. Onkyo TX-NR515 AV amp, surround sound. The B channel, is stereo, this feeds the Pyle PSPVC6. I have all six pairs of speakers, independently volume controlled. Works Great

Q: 8. Can you use it as a selfie stick?

A: You could. It isn't too heavy in my opinion. Selfie sticks I have seen are quite a bit longer, but with the legs extended, it would probably suffice. Realize it wasn't designed for that and likely will not work as well as a tool made for that purpose.
