UTOPIA M
Quintessential sound in your car… With Utopia M, listening and driving take on a unique dimension, that cannot be described, only experienced.
* Special Order *
The key word for this 8” (20 cm) woofer is versatility. Thanks to the “W” sandwich membrane with “M” profile associated with our TMD® suspension, it is capable of covering a very wide frequency band, going down as well into the bass to offer excellent dynamics as well as going up into the high end. -midrange to make a perfect transition with the 3.5WM midrange or the TBM tweeter.
AN UNEQUALLED SOUND
Made in France, 8WM benefits from Focal innovations in acoustics for sensational sound in the passenger compartment. Its M profile “W” cone and TMD® (Tuned Mass Damper) surround deliver the ultimate in precision.
THE ULTIMATE IN-CAR LISTENING EXPERIENCE
LOTS OF STYLE
With its shallow depth (5.2 cm), this loudspeaker features a streamlined aluminum frame, a designer salad bowl and a red neodymium motor: all meticulous details synonymous with excellence.
CUSTOM INSTALLATION
With loudspeakers from the Utopia M range, all you have to do is choose the models best suited to your vehicle and your listening needs. Only one limit: your imagination
A MADE-TO-MEASURE GRILLE
A grille has been specially designed for this woofer. Featuring an “M” profile that follows the shape of the cone perfectly, it protects the woofer with no loss of sound quality, and is aesthetically pleasing.
Technologies
“W” MEMBRANE
Perfectly defined midrange and bass
By developing and manufacturing its own membranes, Focal pushes the limits of innovation in acoustics. The sandwich “W” membrane of the loudspeakers plays an essential role in sound reproduction. It consists of two sheets of glass placed on either side of a central foam body; a sandwich construction that enables us to master the three key parameters of a good loudspeaker: lightness, rigidity and damping. This flagship membrane of Focal know-how perfectly optimizes the frequency response curve, providing low distortion and total listening transparency. Sound is the ultimate in precision.
“M” PROFILE
For ever greater impact
If the material of a membrane is essential, so is its shape. Focal engineers worked on an “M” profile for the glass fibre “W” membrane. This “M” profile is the fruit of many years of research and our expertise in membrane geometries. Produced in a single piece (without a core cover), it achieves, among other things, a significant reduction in harmonic distortion, better sound dispersion and optimal power handling. A major Focal innovation that can be found on many products.
TMD SUSPENSION
Stabilized surround, eliminates vibrations
While our engineers are experts in the development of exclusive diaphragms, they also innovate in all the components that make up the loudspeakers, such as the surround that connects the diaphragm to the frame, the performance of which must be mastered. Introduced in 2015, Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) technology with harmonic damping consists of the addition of finely positioned toroidal weights to stabilize the surround for even greater sonic neutrality. This technology enhances the midrange and the erratic behavior of the surround between 1 kHz and 2 kHz.
