Focal Vestia No. 1 (x1)

Focal Vestia N1

Sound details

The Slatefiber cone

Slatefiber technology, exclusive to Focal, involves the use of recycled, non-woven carbon fibres applied as a sandwich between two layers of thermoplastic polymer. In their quest for perfection, Focal engineers have opted to use non-woven carbon fibres, all pointing in the same direction to achieve even greater rigidity, better damping but also lightness – the three essentials of a speaker driver. The Slatefiber cone is made in France in the Focal workshops.  

Outstanding treble

The ‘M’-shaped inverted dome TAM tweeter

Also made in France in the Focal workshops, this tweeter comprises an inverted dome cone, made from an Aluminium/Magnesium alloy and moulded into the famous ‘M’ shape – a Focal exclusive. This profile lends it greater rigidity, reducing distortion, with a wider diffusion angle. It delivers an even finer treble.

An encompassing bass

Vents

The Vestia loudspeakers feature a vent towards the front for more frontal impact, in addition to one at the back for an encompassing bass: a bass-reflex profile which enhances the depth of the soundstage.
