EQI - Easy Quick Install system for in-wall/in-ceiling loudspeakers
Today, the sound component alone can no longer offer a product that meets all market expectations. That's why Focal has gone one step further and added a new criterion to the value of an integrated product: ease of assembly.
You don't need any tools at all: 300 Series products are much easier to assemble, with installation time reduced to a minimum thanks to the EQI, "Easy Quick Install" system. This ingenious mechanism enables products to be installed by hand, without tools!
Each ICW consists of two parts: a mounting frame and a loudspeaker. The mounting frame is installed on the wall or ceiling using one-handed brackets. Once the frame is securely fastened, the loudspeaker is assembled to the mounting frame with a quarter-turn locking mechanism.
The EQI (Easy Quick Installation) mounting frame adapts to all wall and ceiling thicknesses from 5 to 30 mm.

This system is compatible with 300 Series In-Wall/In-Ceiling loudspeakers.

REMOTE AMPLIFIER IN CURRENT MODE
The most transparent and natural
Since main monitors are frequently soffit-mounted, these require external electronics for this application. Focal engineers have therefore developed an amplification system combining a class H with a current mode. By controlling the current (instead of the voltage), it is possible to directly control the force submitted to the membrane and eliminate any unwanted artefacts. Combined with analogue filtering and exceptional drivers, this amplification achieves the lowest THD ever measured in an anechoic chamber.
"M" profile Béryllium Tweeter
Rigidity and Purity
Patented by Focal, the pure beryllium ‘M’ profile tweeter combines rigidity, lightness and damping for exceptional high-frequency reproduction. The ‘M’ membrane is the result of many years of research and expertise. Made in a single piece, it improves sound dispersion, reduces distortion and ensures optimum power handling.
Infinite Horn Loading
High-definition sound
For the Beryllium tweeter to deliver all its finesse, it would need an almost infinite volume. Sopra's need for compactness meant that the maximum volume of the cabinet had to be used for the bass. Exploring new ways of loading the tweeter led us to imagine the IHL infinite-load horn. The IHL (Infinite Horn Loading) system enables the Beryllium tweeter to be loaded while respecting the compactness of the loudspeaker. The rear wave is gently and progressively absorbed to avoid distortion. The result is maximum definition.
