Incorporating proprietary driver technology, the new Focal Professional CMS 65 and CMS 50 are two new active nearfield studio monitors that offers outstanding performance and exceptional versatility.

The superbly finished aluminium die-cast cabinets bring unconditional rigidity while internal damping and bracing sets the monitor free from unwanted coloring.

Focal’s unique Al/Mg (Aluminium/Magnesium) inverted dome tweeter combines both, ideal lightweight mass and superb damping, resulting in a tweeter that easily extends up to 28 kHz at –3dB, with a close to perfection pulse response.

The Polyglass bass driver combines hollow micro-balls of glass to a pulp cellulose cone thus permitting an amazing rigidity versus mass ratio. The rigidity versus mass ratio of Polyglass is 10 times better than polypropylene and easily exceeds Kevlar.

These bi-amplified active nearfield monitors, 165 watts for the CMS65 and 130 watts for the CMS50, benefit from two high-end class AB amplifiers.

Also including separate HF and LF shelving adjustments, a Desktop Notch correction filter that controls first reflection when the speakers are located over the mixing board, rubber decoupling stand, spikes to tilt the speakers and adjust soundstage height, the Focal Professional CMS 65 and CMS 50 are well suited for broadcast, post-production or recording studio environments. 

CMS 50: $650 MSRP
CMS 65: $950 MSRP
