Frequently Asked Questions about Sopra N°3

What are the dimensions of the Focal Sopra N°3 speaker?

The Focal Sopra N°3 speaker has dimensions that make it an impressive floor-standing speaker: it is 1264 mm high, 402 mm wide, and 595 mm deep. With these measurements, it not only provides an impressive visual presence in any room but also offers enough volume for excellent sound quality. Weighing 70 kg, this speaker stands stable and minimizes vibrations, further enhancing sound reproduction. These physical characteristics contribute to the Focal Sopra N°3's ability to deliver an extremely detailed and powerful listening experience.

What technologies are used in the Focal Sopra N°3 speaker?

The Sopra N°3 from Focal is equipped with a variety of advanced technologies that revolutionize your music playback. Outstanding features include the NIC and TMD technologies in the midrange, which significantly improve sound transparency. The NIC technology ensures improved linearity of the magnetic field, while the TMD suspension reduces distortion, allowing for precise sound reproduction. This is complemented by the IHL Inverted Dome Design of the beryllium tweeter, which offers unparalleled clarity in the high frequencies.

What materials are used in the construction of the Focal Sopra N°3?

The Focal Sopra N°3 speaker is made from carefully selected materials to ensure both durability and sound quality. The cabinets are crafted in France by experienced carpenters and are made from high-quality, resonance-dampening materials. Additionally, tempered glass is used to minimize vibrations. The available finish options, including Carrara White, Electric Orange, Black Lacquer, Light Oak, and Macassar, highlight the elegance of the design and allow for harmonious integration into various living styles.

What is the frequency response of the Focal Sopra N°3 speaker?

The Focal Sopra N°3 floorstanding speaker impresses with a frequency response of 33 Hz to 40 kHz at ±3 dB. This allows for an exceptionally wide and detailed audio reproduction that makes every genre shine. In particular, the low cutoff frequency of -6 dB at 26 Hz ensures powerful bass reproduction that will delight even the most demanding music lovers. The implications of this frequency response are clear: whether you listen to classical music or rock, the Sopra N°3 delivers deep bass and crystal-clear highs for a comprehensive sound experience.

What power do you recommend for amplifying the Sopra N°3 speaker?

The Focal Sopra N°3 floorstanding speaker is designed to deliver impressive acoustic performance with amplifiers that provide a power range of 40 to 400 watts. This recommended amplifier power ensures that the speaker can fully utilize its sound range. With a sensitivity of 91.5 dB and a nominal impedance of 8 Ω, it still requires a well-matched amplifier unit to unleash its full potential. The minimum impedance is 3.1 Ω, which must be considered to avoid distortion and potential overloads.

What special design features does the Focal Sopra N°3 have?

The Focal Sopra N°3 is a prime example of thoughtful design and precise execution. A special highlight is the decoupling spikes, which were specifically developed for this speaker in collaboration with watchmaker specialists. These decoupling elements significantly improve acoustic isolation, leading to cleaner sound reproduction. The beryllium tweeter, protected by a grille design, ensures the highest precision in the high frequencies, while the same pattern on the back of the midrange driver emphasizes aesthetic harmony.

What are the acoustic advantages of the W-cones in the Sopra N°3?

The W-cone membranes used in the Focal Sopra N°3 are a key feature for the excellent sound quality of this floorstanding speaker. The design of the W-cone offers high stiffness while being lightweight, allowing for precise reproduction and quick response to sound. This enables the speaker to reproduce complex musical passages with clarity and precision. In particular, the larger woofers with a diameter of 21 cm are optimized for low frequencies, providing powerful yet controlled bass that significantly enhances the listening experience.

How does the tweeter technology in the Sopra N°3 affect sound quality?

The tweeter of the Focal Sopra N°3 is a 27 mm inverted dome made of pure beryllium, characterized by exceptional lightness and strength. These technical features allow for precise and rapid movement of the diaphragm, making the reproduction of high tones incredibly clear and detailed. The inverted dome construction also ensures a wider dispersion of high frequencies, keeping the sound balanced even away from the central listening position. The Sopra N°3 thus offers an immersive sound image that captures and reproduces the finest details.

What installation tips are there for the Focal Sopra N°3?

When setting up the Focal Sopra N°3 speaker, it is important to consider its dimensions and weight of 70 kg to find the ideal spot in the room. It should be positioned on a stable and resonance-free surface using decoupling spikes. Room acoustics and placement play a crucial role in sound quality. The distance to walls and corners should be chosen to minimize standing waves. Due to the bass-reflex design, a distance of at least 30 cm from the rear wall is recommended to optimize bass reproduction.

Which car brands could the Focal Sopra N°3 be compatible with?

The Focal Sopra N°3 is primarily not designed for use in cars, but as a high-end floorstanding speaker for home use. However, considering its dimensions of 1264 mm in height and 402 mm in width, integration into vehicles would be practically very challenging and hardly feasible. Additionally, the demanding technology and specific performance requirements of the Sopra N°3 necessitate an installation that is far more sensible in a home audio environment. Therefore, a classic car application is not recommended.
