Focal Twin6 ST6 Single Studio Monitor

Focal Twin6 ST6 Single Studio Monitor:

A Top-tier Nearfield for Medium-Sized Rooms

Ultra-precise monitoring is an essential component of professional-level audio production. Focal Twin6 provides precisely that. This 2.5-way powered studio monitor provides unparalleled transparency, definition, accurate dynamics, and a realistic soundstage—everything you need to get inside your mix. Twin6 has Focal’s renowned beryllium inverted-dome tweeter, composite sandwich “W” cones, and huge laminar ports for distortion-free low-frequency performance. You also get a useful Focus mode, which turns Twin6 into a frequency-limited speaker, ensuring that your mixes translate to smaller playback systems. Twin6 includes an automated, defeatable standby mode, low and high shelving, and a 160Hz lowpass filter. If you need high-quality monitoring for your mid-sized mixing area, Focal’s Twin6 is a fantastic choice.

Focus mode combines two monitors into one

To ensure accurate translation to smaller playback systems, we frequently use compact, frequency-limited speakers to test our mixes. Focal Twin6 achieves this role with Focal’s handy Focus mode—it’s practically two monitors in one. This studio monitor’s 6.5-inch woofers and 1-inch tweeter have a frequency response of 40Hz–40kHz when operating in 2.5-way mode. When you switch to Focus mode, Twin6 produces a frequency response of 110 Hz–10 kHz from its woofers alone. Focus mode provides a vital real-world reality check without requiring a second set of studio monitors.

Focal’s beryllium inverted dome tweeter

The inverted dome tweeter is a key feature that contributes significantly to Twin6’s outstanding performance. The inverted dome has the unique advantage of optimizing the mechanical interaction between the voice coil and the dome. The voice coil is mounted at mid-height on the dome, allowing it to move Twin6’s whole cone surface equally. This architecture is built for great efficiency, precision, and energy, giving a highly precise soundstage. Add to it the choice of beryllium for Twin6’s dome—a material known for its amazing rigidity—and you have a speaker that can span virtually linearly from 45 Hz to 40 kHz, which exceeds the range of human hearing.

“W” composite sandwich cones with large laminar openings.

Focal Twin6 makes use of Focal’s “W” composite sandwich cones. Because of their unique properties, these cones allow for the comprehensive control of three important parameters: lightweight, stiffness, and damping. Twin6 also has big laminar ports that are absolutely free of unwanted port noise and distortion. has discovered that Twin6 sounds incredibly transparent, has a superb phase response, and has an extremely low distortion rate.

FOCUS MODE.

Focal Twin6 by converting the loudspeaker into a one-way full-range monitor and offering a different speaker driver configuration that is accessible by simply pressing a pedal, the Focus Mode makes it possible to test the mix adaptability on smaller systems.

MULTIPLE FEATURES

To eliminate reflections from the console or desk, Solo6 and Focal Twin6 incorporate a configurable high-pass crossover and a 160Hz parametric crossover. These monitors also include a high-pass crossover and a switchable automated standby mode, which provides a simple and vital way to manage the loudspeaker.

DESIGN

The ST6 cabinets are designed with a strong and durable material, allowing for increased rigidity and dampening with fewer vibrations and hence less distortion.

Inside the box of Focal Twin6:

• 1x unit
• 1 x power cord.
• 1 x Guarantee Card.
• 1 × Beryllium tweeter protective grille (remove before using the speakers).
• 1 x plastic bag with an information note, “Beryllium inverted dome tweeter,” and some adhesive tape to attach to the tweeter in the unlikely event that the dome is damaged.

NOTE: To safely remove the loudspeaker from its carton, fully open and bend the end flaps back. Then, remove the upper cushion and gently push the loudspeaker out. Inspect the speaker for indicators of potential damage.In the unlikely case that this occurs, please notify the carrier and supplier. It is a good idea to maintain the packaging for future shipping.
