FOCAL Chora 816 2.5-way bass-reflex Floorstanding Speaker (Dark Wood, EACH)

Description

IDEAL FOR HOME CINEMA

2.5-WAY FLOORSTANDING LOUDSPEAKER

The Chora 816 model is a 2.5-way bass-reflex floorstanding
loudspeaker. Its woofer and midrange/bass speaker driver, both equipped with
the Slatefiber cone, work in perfect harmony for a
voluptuous sound reproduction and a perfect bass impact. The sound
finds its full dimension in your listening room, with a dynamic
midrange and remarkable power handling. A front port is
placed below the loudspeaker to reduce distortion and, thanks to the tilt of
the loudspeaker stand, Time Alignment provides a soundstage focused on the
listener.

Chora 816 is particularly well suited for Home
Cinema listening and blends seamlessly into rooms of up to 323ft²
(30m²).

The TNF Aluminum/Magnesium tweeter

SOFT AND PRECISE TREBLE

The surround linking the dome to its stand uses a memory
foam material called Poron. This surround is directly derived from the Utopia’s
famous Beryllium tweeter and reduces distortion by a third between 2,000Hz and
3,000Hz, the ear’s high-sensitivity range. The spatialization and very low
directionality of the inverted dome allow silky trebles to be heard from any
point in your listening room.

The Slatefiber cone

PERFECTLY BALANCED SOUND

Slatefiber technology, exclusive to Focal,
involves the use of recycled, non-woven carbon fibers applied
as a sandwich between two layers of thermoplastic polymer. In their quest for
perfection, Focal engineers have opted to use non-woven carbon fibers, all
pointing in the same direction to achieve even greater rigidity and better
damping.

Manufactured in the Focal workshops using an ultra-modern
industrial tool, the “slate” effect of the cone provides better damping and
rigidity, but also lightness – the three “essentials” of a good speaker
driver. 

A SLEEK, MODERN DESIGN

The Chora range boasts a modern design, all lifted onto a
tilted stand for Time Alignment, which provides an optimal soundstage, more
focused on the listener. The slate color of the Slatefiber cone adds a final
refined, authentic touch. 

ON-TREND FINISHES

Chora is available in three finishes: Black, Light Wood and Dark Wood.
On-trend colors that blend into different interiors and lend them a unique
aesthetic signature.
