For people who are passionate about music, the walnut Focal Aria Evo X N°4 Three-Way Floorstanding Speaker is a genuine high-fidelity acoustic loudspeaker. The 3-way design features two 8" Flax bass cones providing intense and articulated bass, one 6.5" Flax midrange cone for natural sound and midrange-to-treble transition, and the 1" M-shaped inverted dome TAM tweeter with waveguide for smooth highs and lower directivity.

Along with the precision drivers, Focal's multiple-port powerflow system lowers dynamic compression while increasing depth and impact. The Aria Evo X N°4 cabinets are made from an ultra-rigid MDF construction, with leather front and prime walnut finished non-parallel side panels to reduce vibration and they sit atop an aluminum alloy base, which decouples the speaker from the floor. The Aria Evo X N°4 is ideal for rooms measuring from 323 ft² and from a recommended listening distance of 10 to 16 feet. All Focal speaker 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 are 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 are characterized by their natural sound, with low coloration, their richness of reproduction in the midrange register and their 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 whom 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.
