Focal has introduced Diva Utopia, its first wireless, connected, active loudspeaker. This model is the result of five years of development and is only available in qualified stores of Focal Powered by Naim network.
This 3-way bass-reflex floorstanding loudspeaker is simple to install and use, with no need for cables to connect the pair or external amplification. Ultra Wideband, a unique technology co-developed with a partner company, enables wireless music playback of exceptional sound quality, surpassing CD playback and approaching the high-resolution audio of a professional studio. For convenience, the Diva Utopia can be controlled via a dedicated app, the supplied remote control, or voice assistants.
Diva Utopia combines Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and UPnP protocols for connectivity and access to a wide range of streaming platforms such as Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, and QQ Music (China). It is easy to connect to a television or it can be linked to various other inputs, including vinyl turntables. The loudspeaker integrates into the complete Focal and Naim ecosystem, allowing you to create a home multiroom configuration that can be controlled with just a few clicks using a dedicated app. It can also be paired with home automation systems for integration into smart homes.
Diva Utopia is created using Focal’s unique audio expertise. The speaker drivers are equipped with the “W” cone, a patented innovation that delivers precise sound. The beryllium “M”-profile tweeter delivers high-frequency reproduction with remarkable accuracy. The loudspeaker also benefits from the best of Naim electronics, including 400-watt power amplification and a new streaming architecture (up to 348 kHz/32 bits).
The loudspeaker has a unique, refined design. The bass speaker drivers are placed subtly on the sides, and the floating side panels sit behind a signature divide that features a backlit logo. Utopia design codes can be found at the heart of this loudspeaker, such as the red and black double grille on the tweeter as well as a brushed aluminum “ribbon” encircling it to represent a symbolic Yin & Yang, evoking harmony between expertise and technology. The distinct design extends to the felt material chosen for the side panels, an elegant material with minimal environmental impact.
Diva Utopia will be $39,999/pair USD and $51,999/pair CAD with availability October 2024 in qualified stores of Focal Powered by Naim network.
