Focal signs the Hi-Fi option on the Peugeot 5008 SUV

The PEUGEOT 5008 SUV, unveiled at the end of 2016, comes with a high-end acoustic system from Focal as a Hi-fi option.

With its generous volume for 7 people on board (standard or optional depending on country), this vehicle becomes a veritable auditorium for listening to music while traveling.

Passengers in the rear enjoy the same soundstage as those in the front. The PEUGEOT 5008 SUV is one of the first production vehicles in the world to feature a Focal acoustic solution!

All the brand's expertise is brought together in a high-fidelity system comprising 10 loudspeakers equipped with exclusive Focal technologies, for the pleasure of pure, detailed sound on board the vehicle.

• FOCAL SOUND SIGNATURE" soundstage, specifically positioned and stable for all types of musical content.
• High-fidelity woofers/midrange thanks to Polyglass technology for balanced, precise sound.
• TNF aluminum inverted dome tweeters offering optimal sound dispersion and highly detailed treble.
• 20 cm triple coil Power Flower™ subwoofer technology for defined, dynamic low-frequency reproduction.
• Intelligent hybrid amplification management: 12-channel/515-Watt active amplification and Class AB/Class D technology provide rich, fine high-frequency signals, as well as real power in the bass.

POLYGLASS MEMBRANE

This exclusive Focal technology is used on the 4 x 165 mm woofers/mid-range loudspeakers installed in the vehicle doors, as well as on the center channel positioned in the middle of the dashboard.

Thanks to the application of fine glass microbeads to a cellulose pulp membrane, the Polyglass membrane combines the excellent damping of paper with the rigidity of glass.

A compromise between mass, rigidity and damping, resulting in a frequency response curve with exemplary linearity for high-definition sound reproduction.

POWERFLOWER™

The system embeds a 20 cm Power Flower™ subwoofer positioned in the vehicle's frame structure, behind the trunk side trim.

Directly inherited from the technologies of Utopia's iconic loudspeakers, the Power Flower™ replaces the simple ferrite usually used on loudspeakers and is the source of a powerful magnetic flux.

The result: stable, healthy bass reproduction down to extreme sound pressure levels.

INVERTED DOME TWEETER

The system is equipped with four aluminum inverted dome tweeters positioned in the rear-view mirror gussets and rear doors.

This technology, patented by Focal for over 35 years, guarantees precise, detailed treble reproduction thanks to its omnidirectional diffusion and light weight.

The Poron surround suspension, derived from the tweeters of the emblematic Utopia line, is very light, for enhanced sensitivity. What's more, its flexibility allows the speaker to be used at lower frequencies. Placed under the aluminum dome, it does not interfere with the signal emitted by the latter, and produces no distortion. The inverted dome shape offers controlled directionality.

Focal and Peugeot engineers and designers worked together to achieve optimum aesthetic and acoustical integration. The interior design was conceived to accommodate the loudspeakers, with studied seat trims, doors, floor and reinforced glazing. Vibrations have been reduced to a minimum throughout the cabin. In fact, the entire vehicle has benefited from a special development linked to the Hi-Fi option. Sound reproduction lives up to the expectations of demanding music lovers and audiophiles!
