Focal Shape 40  THE COMPACT FUNCTIONALITY

The Focal Shape 40 is the most compact studio monitor in the Focal Professional line, offering exceptional nearfield monitoring capabilities. Designed to be used from as close as 23 inches (60cm), these monitors deliver an extended low-end frequency response that is truly impressive. Whether you have a room measuring less than 107ft² (10m²) or need a compact solution, the Shape 40 is the perfect choice.

Innovative Acoustic Transparency Handcrafted in France, the Shape 40, like its counterparts in the Shape series, incorporates five innovations to achieve outstanding acoustic transparency. Created specifically for nearfield monitoring, these monitors blend ingenious design with precise settings tailored for small listening spaces. These innovations result in a wide and incredibly precise stereo image, articulate bass, neutral mid-range, and a high-definition tweeter.

Key Features

• Low tweeter directivity for flexible listening positions
• Portless design for wall placement
• Multiple settings for seamless integration
• Accurate control, even in the high-frequency range
• Flax sandwich cone for controlled and articulate bass, natural lower mid-range, and upper mid-range registers
• Threaded mounts for ceiling and wall installation (fastening accessories not included)

Cutting-Edge Technologies

• Flax Sandwich Cone: Enhances weight, rigidity, and dampening.
• N.I.C. Technology: Ensures a stable magnetic circuit to prevent distortions.
• TMD Surround: Provides a linear frequency response between 1 and 2kHz while significantly reducing distortion in the same range, resulting in remarkable neutrality in the mid-range and precise overall stereo imaging.
• M-Shaped Inverted Dome Tweeter: Evolves Focal's famous aluminum-magnesium inverted dome tweeter with a new "M" shape and Poron suspension.
