Focal Chorus 806V speakers

For Focal, Chorus symbolizes one of the most stimulating challenges for the loudspeaker and refined product manufacturer that we are: to allow the greatest number of consumers to access our technological innovations. For the first two generations Chorus (2000) and Chorus S (2003), the objective was to conserve a hi-end sound and maintain sophisticated Focal technologies by adapting our industrial machine to the highest standards. While outsourcing had become a key economic strategy for the majority of manufacturers, we chose on the contrary to heavily invest in our manufacturing process in order to achieve an exceptional sound quality while at the same time remaining competitive. It is the only possible way in this path of permanent innovation: development and manufacturing of loudspeakers ”Made in France”, design by cabinet-makers, mastery of quality, total autonomy in the design and development of our products. This strategy has been key to the success of the preceding Chorus lines.

This third generation known as Chorus 800 V will go even further in this strategy. Technological innovation does not only solely touch strategic components of the speaker, but the actual whole of the design. Thanks to the use of advanced and exclusive materials, elaborate manufacturing techniques of the cabinets, the Chorus 800 V line of today shines with a unique, hi-end esthetic. Chorus V isn’t only a performing product line, ideal for entering the Focal universe, but objects that will inhabit living spaces, with an innovative esthetic, quality of manufacture and a finish worthy of a higher segment. This is indeed a new esthetic dimension, a new era for the ”Spirit of Sound”.

 

Neutral and balanced, the Chorus 806 V seduces by the richness of its upper midrange and the speed of its bass. An entirely refined speaker, ideal to play in rooms under 20 m2 without any limits. And easily larger spaces if it is combined with SW 800 V.

Focal Chorus 705V speakers

Since the year 2000, the different generations of the Chorus line have benefited from this approach, as we produced speakers that cost less and performed better. To achieve this goal, we invested massively in a superior method to speaker manufacturing, where intelligent machining and precise handwork were absolutely necessary.

It was the only possible way in this drive for quality and competitiveness: development and manufacturing of French-made loudspeakers, design of the cabinets, quality control, a total autonomy in the development and design of our own products. This method allows us to innovate, to entirely and independently turn ideas into reality, to place patents internationally, and have the means to anticipate trends. And finally, to progress.

The third generation, Chorus 700 V, goes even further. A direct descendant of the Chorus 800 V line of which it heavily borrows technical elements (except Power flow) yet with a more Amati traditional finish, Chorus 700 V invites you in to the Focal universe. The build quality and high-end finishing work are entirely unknown in this price-range.

 

Chorus 705 V is the ideal loudspeaker for installation in rooms of modest dimensions (approximately 15 m²). With a responsive and lively bass, it represents the foundations of a great system, especially when paired with the SW 700 V subwoofer.
