Frequently Asked Questions
Focus Mode 1 cuts the woofer, ideal for nearfield work or smaller rooms; Mode 2 cuts the tweeter for a more controlled low-mid response during bass-heavy mixing.
While they perform best in a treated environment, the adjustable EQ settings offer some flexibility to compensate for common room modes, but serious treatment is still recommended for optimal results.
The Trio6s offer a unique blend of Focal’s signature beryllium tweeter detail with a more neutral midrange than some competitors; they’re a strong contender, though the final choice depends on personal preference and budget.
