Advanced Digital Technologies
24 Bits 96kHz converters

In addition to a direct digital input, the SM8-S uses the latest high quality chipsets performing 24 Bits 96kHz A/D and D/A conversion.
Multiple equalisation facilities

The combination of powerful DSP devices and carefully designed algorithms allows multiple and very precise equalisation.
High efficiency, low distortion class D output stage

The SM8-S uses a low distorsion class “D” power stage, delivering 500W. Its very high effi ciency guarantees cool operation even at full power.
Exclusive Acoustical Technologies
The W cone

For more than 15 years the composite cone sandwich technology is a Focal exclusivity. The W process - which is used in the 13 drive unit of the SM8-S - provides a true optimisation of the frequency response by fi ne tuning of mass, rigidity and damping parameters.
