It's very much a case of vive la difference with this more affordable system from Focal, its Flax drivers delivering the soundstage capabilities of a pricier setup.
Focal Aria SR 900 is a 2-way bipolar surround loudspeaker featuring the same acoustic characteristics as the other loudspeakers in the Aria range.
Along with floorstanding speakers Aria 936, center speaker Aria CC 900 and a subwoofer Sub 300 P, surround speakers Aria SR 900 will assure you a reference 5.1 Home Cinema! Aria SR 900 features two 5in (13cm) woofers with Flax sandwich cones and offers natural midrange, rich bass, very high-definition and natural sound.
For the treble register, there are two TNF aluminium/magnesium inverted dome tweeters with Poron suspension for smoother sound. Their Urethane waveguide improves horizontal directivity and provides a more precise sound image.
Moreover, the SR 900 features a slim cabinet design which makes the loudspeaker compact. It is also easy to integrate into your interior using the Polyfix wall-mounting system provided.
PORON SUSPENSION FOR SOFT TREBLE
For the TNF tweeter, Focal has brought two major evolutions to the aluminum/magnesium tweeter. The suspension between the dome and its bracket uses Poron, a material with shape memory. This suspension method is directly derived from the famous Utopia Beryllium tweeter which makes it possible to reduce distortion by a factor of three in the 2-3kHz range, where the human ear has very great sensitivity.
The inverted dome’s spatial characteristics and very low directivity already make it greatly superior to the conventional domes used by other brands. This guarantees an incredibly stable sound stage which makes the listening position much less critical.
FLAX CONE, SO ORIGINAL
The flax cones are made in France exclusively by Focal since 2013. With their original design, the cones are entirely oriented towards acoustic performance. They are made of high quality flax fiber enclosed by two thin layers of glass fiber. F cone are characterized by their natural sound, with low coloration, their richness of reproduction in the midrange register and their tighter bass.
The lightness of the fiber fulfills the criteria of high internal damping, high velocity and high flexural rigidity. Flax is twice as light as fiberglass, because the fiber is hollow. It also has very low elasticity which makes it ideal to increase the flexural rigidity of a sandwich structure.
