3-WAY CEILING SPEAKER

This built-in ceiling loudspeaker, made in France, is intended for residential use. It is an LCR speaker (left, center and right) that is ideal for a Home Cinema installation without compromise, in rooms up to 30 m². Its installation on the ceiling is suitable, especially in the absence of a rear wall. Five applications are possible: front left, center or right channels, rear left and right channels.

It includes exclusive Focal technologies, such as the Flax membrane and the inverted dome tweeter, to offer perfect sound quality in your home. Low frequencies are sustained and articulate. The Flax provides excellent intelligibility of the voices, ideal for movie dialogues and, finally, the treble is very precise. Watching your favorite movies will become a comprehensive experience.

In this ceiling loudspeaker, the tweeter and mid-woofer baffle is adjustable, to direct it towards the listening point. The tweeter and midrange levels are adjustable to suit the acoustics of the room so you can get the best results whatever the environment. Note that this speaker is fully enclosed at the rear for identical results everywhere.

Its decisive advantage, the EQI (Easy Quick Install) system: assembly is done without tools, offering quick and easy installation. Details for practical use: security system, no frame, magnetic grids, anti-vibration tabs...

CREATE AN INVISIBLE SYSTEM

The 300ICLCR5 in-ceiling loudspeaker is ideal for a home cinema application. It will meet all your organization requirements (no back wall or side wall). Its tweeter and mid-woofer baffle allows, in effect, to fully direct the sound towards the listening point, even if the speaker is off axis. Thus, you will reproduce the complexity of movie soundtracks, without compromising the decoration of your house in the central spaces of the ceilings.

THE FLAX SANDWICH MEMBRANE

The "flax", in fact, is linen. Made in France, at an affordable price, Flax membranes aim at acoustic performance, high-tech and bring a truly original design to the brand's speakers.

After more than five years of research and development, in 2013 Focal engineers unveiled a new flax fiber Flax membrane. It is characterized by a very natural sound without coloration, a rich reproduction in the mids and surprising bass.

LINEN FIBER, UNIQUE QUALITIES

The "F" membrane is a sandwich composed of a core of very high quality flax fiber (“flax”, in English), placed in the center of two thin sheets of fiberglass. It satisfies all the criteria for a hi-fi cone: it's light for good dynamics, stiff for sustaining bass, and damped for neutral, natural listening.

Rigidity

A "monomaterial" cone cannot associate all these criteria perfectly. The sandwich technique plays a very important role in the sound neutrality of a membrane, a neutrality that has always distinguished Focal's sound. The great control of the sandwich technology in the Utopia and K2 Power ranges allows the revolutionary "Flax" membranes to be fine-tuned by reconciling the three criteria.

Lightness

Flax fiber is twice as light as fiberglass since it is hollow. It has very little elasticity, which makes it ideal for increasing the bending stiffness modulus of a sandwich structure. In addition, it can be obtained in the non-woven bundle with a large diameter and thus provide the thickness and rigidity sought for a sandwich.

Damping

Composite materials provide relevant answers for applications where rigidity and low mass are sought. However, its negative side is the lack of damping which leads to poor vibration control. Recent developments combining composite and natural fiber bring unexpected opportunities. Linen fiber offers an excellent internal cushioning of the same order of importance as that of glass, Kevlar® or aluminum fibres.

MADE IN FRANCE

Flax membranes are designed and manufactured in France, from French flax fiber. France is the main country in Europe in the cultivation of textile flax, mainly in the regions of Flanders, Picardy, Normandy and Pas-de-Calais. French flax fiber is considered the best in the world.

Synthetic fibers or sponges from petrochemical sources suffer variations in the price of crude oil. Organic fabrics or "eco-fabrics", such as linen, are competitive...

Furthermore, the production of superlative quality "W" and "K2" sandwiches can only be done manually; its version is very limited for cost reasons. The industrial process developed to make this "F" sandwich makes this technology very competitive.

THE CHOICE OF FINISHES

The grilles can be round or square and have a magnet, to facilitate their placement on the speakers. They are provided with anti-vibration tabs so as not to disturb listening. Offered in a white finish, these grilles have been designed to be painted, blending in perfectly with your interior. It can be used in a humid environment, such as a bathroom or a kitchen.

EASY, QUICK AND TOOL-FREE ASSEMBLY

The 300 series built-in loudspeakers are extremely easy to install thanks to the EQI (Easy Quick Install) mounting system. The installation of IC LCR5 is particularly ingenious: a security system guarantees the reliability of the assembly and stability on the roof. The mounting legs furthermore have an adaptable length according to the thickness of the roofing material. No screws or tools are required for installation. The frame comprises fixing legs that hold the system in position. Simply insert the loudspeaker into the opening and lock it by exerting pressure on the frame, alternately on two opposite sides.
