Studio Monitor Focal Alpha 80

Focal Alpha 80

Flagship of the line, the monitoring loudspeaker Alpha 80 is particularly ideal for producing music which is rich in bass or which requires high power reserves.

The ALPHA 80 is an active 2-way near field professional monitoring loudspeaker (2 internal amplifiers), composed of a 8” (21cm) woofer/midrange speaker with a Polyglass cone loaded in a large laminar port and of an aluminum inverted dome tweeter. It features a 40W amplifier for the tweeter and a 100W amplifier for the woofer, and has a frequency response of 35Hz to 22kHz (+/- 3dB). This model is particularly ideal for producing music which is rich in bass or which requires high power reserves.
