Beautiful Focal Center in Light Alder Wood CC70S

Beautiful Focal Center in Light Alder Wood, Made in France
The CC70S Center has very Focal innovation built-in: the 13cm mid/bass unit is one of the company’s Polyglass drivers, in which the cellulose surface is covered with minute hollow glass spheres, while the 25mm tweeter is an all-new aluminum/magnesium inverted dome design Focal calls TNV2.
It’s mounted in a suspension system using Poron microcellular urethane, used to ensure linearity and a flatter frequency response up to 30kHz without break-up, and assembled using the surface tension of the adhesive employed, to minimize the amount required and thus the weight. As Focal puts it, ‘the masses in high frequency units are so low that every extra microgram of adhesive is critical to performance’.
That’s typical of the kind of attention to detail the company brings to its products – and the kind of flexibility in-house production allows.
The voice coil is also kept small to the same end. The tweeter is fitted to the metal structure wrapped over the top of the cabinet and carrying the Focal logo, so even what looks like a design element actually serves a real purpose.
