Center speaker Focal Utopia 3.5WM

The construction of this ultra-compact mid-range speaker was made possible by the exclusive use of the new "M" profile "W" sandwich diaphragm, combined with, among other things, a TMD® suspension and a Focal signature red neodymium magnet. Our ears are particularly sensitive around 4kHz, this 3.5" speaker will surprise you with its extreme softness and striking realism.

Main features

  • Small installation depth - 31 mm.
  • 'M' profile 'W' sandwich membrane.
  • TMD® hinge.
  • Membrane material - glass fiber.
  • Red neodymium ring magnet.
  • Basket design inspired by French architecture.
  • Aluminum frame.

Speaker typeCoaxial speakers:
Coaxial speakers are characterized by a so-called all-in-one design. The tweeter and mid-bass speaker are in one basket. The advantage is simpler assembly, but thanks to the connection or proximity of the bands in one speaker, the sound quality will usually be reduced. As a rule, in the middle of the mid-bass speaker, there is a tweeter whose voice coil works in the second air gap of the common magnetic circuit. The three-way coaxial speaker consists of a mid-bass speaker, a center speaker and a separate tweeter in the front on a special beam.

Component Speakers:
Component speakers are characterized by a division into individual frequency bands, treble + mid-bass + or. bass band. The individual speakers can be placed completely separately, which results in a better sound and acoustic performance. In the vast majority of cases of component speakers, an external crossover is also supplied, which divides the treble, middle / mid-bass, and into the three-band the bass band or allows setting the decibel level of the tweeter (e.g. +2 dB, 0 dB, -2 dB), steepness (e.g. 6dB/Oct. 12dB/Oct.) or active or bi-amp connection.

RMS powerRMS speaker power is the constant power of the entire system, not just one speaker or one side. This is also the performance of continuous use of the speakers. If the RMS power is exceeded for a long time, the speakers may be irreversibly damaged! 50 W
Max. (maximum performancePeak performance , which the speaker can play for a moment (approx. 0.5 s), for example when hitting drums in a song. If the max power is exceeded, the speakers will usually be damaged! 100 W
Sensitivity (SPL 2.83V/1m)Sensitivity, sensitivity or efficiency of the speaker.

Speaker sensitivity is given in decibels (dB) and simply put, the higher the value, the lower the demands on the amplifier's power. This is a defacto rating of how a speaker converts watts to sound. Sensitivity ratings are in noise level measured at 1 meter from the speaker using 1 W (watt of power) or using 2.83 volts at the source at 1 meter.

A higher decibel level means the speaker is louder with less power. For every 3 dB increase in sensitivity, the speaker requires half the power to reproduce the same volume. For example, if an 88 dB speaker needs 100 Watts to produce a certain volume, then a speaker with a sensitivity of 91 dB needs only 50 Watts to reach the same volume.
88 dB
ImpedanceImpedance - measurement of electrical resistance. When buying speakers, it is important to make sure that the impedance matches the amplifier or car stereo you are using.

Example:
A 2 Ohm speaker cannot be connected to an amplifier that is only stable up to 4 Ohms! A 4 Ohm speaker can easily be used with an amplifier that is stable up to 2 Ohms. The most common speaker impedance today is 3 - 4 Ohm.
4 Ω
Center speaker diameterThe diameter of the center speaker is given as the diameter of a round speaker, not including the mount, where the mounts protrude even more on smaller speakers. 89 mm
Mounting depth of the center speakerThe mounting depth of the center speaker is measured from the bottom edge of the magnet to the bottom edge of the tin, plastic or cast speaker basket. 31 mm

Frequency crossover included in the packageThe crossover is an important part of defacto all loudspeakers. A crossover usually contains different resistor values, coil sizes, and capacitor types that fundamentally modify the sound. We describe below what the turnouts are for.

Component Speakers:
A crossover is part of every quality component speaker system. Its task is to ensure the distribution of frequencies that the amplifier produces in the entire acoustic spectrum of frequencies so that each of the speakers receives only that part of the band that it can optimally play in terms of efficiency and minimal distortion.

Coaxial speakers:
In most cases, coaxial loudspeakers have a simple crossover (6dB/Oct.) formed by a capacitor at the tweeter.

Options for setting the frequency crossoverThe unwritten rule is that the more expensive the speakers, the more options the crossover has for adjusting the sound. The most common way to adjust the crossover is attenuation on the tweeter. More advanced crossovers also offer the option of setting the steepness on the mid-bass and tweeter or adjusting the frequency range. Ne
