Focal Chorus CC 70 S Center Speaker – Technic Dark Grey, Made in France

The Focal Chorus CC 70 S is a compact, made-in-France center channel designed to match the Chorus 700/705 S series, finished here in the Technic dark grey that pairs perfectly with Chorus 705 S and other Chorus S models. It uses Focal’s Polyglass mid/bass drivers and an inverted-dome tweeter to deliver clear dialogue, natural tonality, and seamless integration across the front soundstage.

Internally, the CC 70 S is a 2-way, shielded bass-reflex design with dual 140 mm Polyglass mid/bass drivers flanking a 25 mm inverted-dome tweeter, giving it both weight and articulation for movie dialogue and music vocals. The enclosure is carefully tuned to provide a broad, stable soundstage, so voices stay locked to the screen even for off-axis listeners. Being magnetically shielded, it was originally designed to sit close to CRT displays, but that same control and focus make it an excellent match for modern flat panels as well.

The cabinet follows the same Chorus S design language, with a solid MDF build and front-ported layout that allows more flexible placement on stands, shelves, or media furniture. Sensitivity around 90 dB and an 8 ohm nominal load mean the CC 70 S is easy to drive with a wide range of AV receivers and integrated amplifiers, while still scaling up nicely with higher-quality electronics.

Cosmetic Condition:
This Technic dark grey CC 70 S is in good cosmetic condition. There are light marks and signs of use on the cabinet consistent with normal handling and age, but no damage that affects performance or function. The drivers and terminals are all in good working shape.

The grille has been freshly re-clothed in our own shop. The original grey cloth had gone worn and tired-looking; it now wears clean black fabric, cut and fitted here. On a centre channel sitting under a television that is the one part of the speaker anybody actually looks at, and it is the difference between a unit that reads as used and one that reads as cared for. Note that this is a change from the factory appearance, and to our eye an improvement — black disappears against most media furniture where the original grey did not.

A well-matched, made-in-France Focal Chorus center in the Technic dark grey finish, ideal as a partner to Chorus 705 S or other Chorus S series speakers, and a strong choice if you’re looking to complete or upgrade a classic Focal front stage.

Focal was founded in Saint-Étienne, France, in 1979 by Jacques Mahul, and began as a maker of drive units. Its home speakers were sold under the JMlab name until the mid-2000s. We carry Focal towers, bookshelf speakers, Sib satellites, centre channels and subwoofers. We've had nearly 60 Focal listings so far. Every used Focal here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.

Our best-selling Focal models so far: the Sib and Sib XL satellites, followed by the Chorus 705 S bookshelf speakers and the Chorus 714 S and 714 V towers.

The Focal story, 1979 to today

Jacques Mahul founded Focal in Saint-Étienne, France, in 1979, first making drive units. Complete speakers carried the JMlab name, after Mahul's laboratory, until it was phased out in the mid-2000s.

Utopia. The Grande Utopia flagship arrived in 1995, and the Grande Utopia Be and Electra Be followed in the mid-2000s. Focal says its high-end speakers are built in its own Saint-Étienne workshops.

Sib and Chorus. The compact Sib satellites and Cub subwoofer arrived in the early 2000s, alongside the Chorus range of towers, bookshelf speakers and centres.

Focal and Naim. Focal and Naim Audio came together under one holding company in the early 2010s. The group, later called VerVent Audio, set up Focal Naim Canada in 2019 when it bought its North American distributors, and Belgium's Barco completed its purchase of the group in April 2026.

Which Focal is which?

Early JMlab: models such as the Opal 706 (1985) and the Vega (1990).

Utopia (from 1995): the Grande Utopia and Grande Utopia Be, and today's Diva and Scala Utopia models.

Electra Be and Profile (mid-2000s).

Chorus: towers such as the 714 S and 714 V, the 705 S bookshelf speaker and the CC 700 S centre.

Sib and Co: the Sib and Sib XL satellites, the Cub subwoofer and the Hop stands. The Sib Evo of 2017 added Dolby Atmos.

Later ranges: Aria, Chora, Vestia and Theva.
