Frequently Asked Questions about Sopra Center


What are the specific features of the Focal Sopra Center speaker?

The Focal Sopra Center speaker is a 3-way bass reflex center speaker that offers a wide frequency response from 55 Hz to 40 kHz. It is equipped with 'W' membranes on the woofers and a midrange speaker, as well as a tweeter with an inverted beryllium dome for clear highs. The speaker has dimensions of 235 mm in height, 609 mm in width, and 350 mm in depth, with a weight of 19 kg. With a minimum impedance of 4.1 Ω and a nominal impedance of 8 Ω, an amplification power of 40 to 200 W is recommended. The sensitivity is 91 dB.

How does the W cone membrane of the Sopra Center affect sound performance?

The W cone membrane in the Focal Sopra Center enhances acoustics through its structural rigidity and lightness, resulting in precise and responsive sound reproduction. The 6.5-inch woofer and the 3-inch midrange speakers are both made from this material, which ensures controlled bass reproduction and balanced mids. This minimizes distortion and reproduces sound clearly across the entire frequency range, which is essential for the reproduction of voices and instruments. This membrane technology significantly contributes to the overall performance of the speaker by producing clean and detailed sound images.

What role does the beryllium tweeter play in the Sopra Center?

The beryllium tweeter in the Sopra Center is crucial for high-frequency reproduction. With a diameter of 27 mm, the inverted dome is made of pure beryllium, a material known for its stiffness and lightness. These properties allow the tweeter to produce sound waves with high precision and minimal energy expenditure, resulting in clear, distortion-free highs. This technique ensures a differentiated and fine reproduction of sounds that remains consistent across the entire hearing range. This achieves an authentic acoustic brilliance that presents music and sounds lifelike.

What are the dimensions of the Focal Sopra Center and how do they affect placement?

With a height of 235 mm, a width of 609 mm, and a depth of 350 mm, the Focal Sopra Center requires thoughtful placement in your home theater. These dimensions allow for a stable setup, while the considerable width provides a coherent soundstage for the center of the home theater. Due to its weight of 19 kg, the Sopra Center must be placed on a sturdy surface. The dimensions are ideal for combining with a large-format television or screen, allowing the speaker to perfectly blend the acoustic backdrop with the visual experience without dominating the room.

What frequency range does the Sopra Center cover?

The Focal Sopra Center covers a frequency range of 55 Hz to 40 kHz, making it suitable for nearly all acoustic content. In box questions: What does this mean for sound quality? The low cutoff frequency of 50 Hz (-6 dB) allows for excellent bass reproduction, with deep tones being represented powerfully and voluminously. At the same time, the beryllium tweeter allows for detailed high frequencies that clearly present even the finest nuances of music. How does this affect playback of movies or music? Especially for home theater enthusiasts, this creates an impressive soundstage that greatly enriches the listening experience.

What amplifier power is recommended for the Sopra Center?

For the Focal Sopra Center, an amplifier power in the range of 40 to 200 watts is recommended. This recommendation takes into account the nominal impedance of 8 Ohm and the minimum impedance of 4.1 Ohm. Sufficient amplifier power is crucial to operate the speakers at their full performance range and ensure dynamic playback. With an amplifier power within this range, an excellent balance between volume and clarity is achieved without distortion. For audiophiles, this means precise and powerful music reproduction that enriches the acoustic landscape and enables realistic sound experiences.

How is the Sopra Center correctly installed?

The installation of the Sopra Center requires stable positioning due to its weight of 19 kg. With its dimensions of 235 mm height, 609 mm width, and 350 mm depth, the speaker should be placed centrally in front of the screen to achieve the best possible soundstage. Pre-mounted counter spikes and optionally available spikes ensure a secure and vibration-damping setup. It is recommended to position the speaker at ear level, which contributes to the coherence of the soundstage. When integrating into an existing home theater system, the impedance and power requirements of the speaker must be considered to ensure trouble-free operation.

What influence does the sensitivity of the Sopra Center have on volume?

The sensitivity of the Sopra Center speaker is 91 dB, which means it achieves a high volume with low amplifier power. In practical use, this allows for powerful playback of music and movies without pushing the amplifier to its limits. High sensitivity is particularly advantageous with lower-powered Amplifiers, as it facilitates effective and clear volume generation at low wattage. For the listener, this means impressive sound volume even at low levels, allowing the speaker to be flexibly used in various room sizes and acoustics without losing dynamics.

How crucial are the materials used in the Sopra Center's construction?

The materials used in the Sopra Center's construction, particularly the handcrafted enclosures made from high-quality wood from the workshops in Bourdon-Lancy, Burgundy, are crucial for both acoustic and aesthetic quality. The enclosure design minimizes resonances that could occur in the material and significantly optimizes sound clarity. The use of beryllium in the Tweeter and the 'W' membrane design demonstrate a focus on technical excellence. This results in a harmonious balance of clear, distortion-free highs and deep, powerful bass. For the user, this not only provides a high-quality sound image but also an aesthetically pleasing speaker that seamlessly integrates into various living environments.

Which car brands are compatible with the Sopra Center?

The Sopra Center from Focal is not specifically designed for vehicle installations and is therefore directly associated with home theater integration. The dimensions of 235 mm in height, 609 mm in width, and 350 mm in depth require a stationary placement rather than integration in a vehicle. However, if you want to attempt to use this speaker in a mobile setup, physical constraints must be overcome, and suitable mounting solutions must be found that ensure both stability and vibration damping. The main features of the speaker are tailored for playback quality in a home environment, providing the full spectrum of high-resolution audio playback there.
