There are many exotic brands in audio, particularly in\u00a0Hi-Fi. Focal<\/strong> is no exception achieving global status as one of the most recognised brands in both hi-fi and car sound. Their latest offering, “Ultima Kit” is a 2-way active speaker system that will retail for $23,799.00 AUD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ultima has been designed and developed from one of\u00a0Focal’s<\/strong> flagship hi-fi products\u00a0which retails for more than $175,000.<\/p>\n

Focal’s<\/strong>\u00a0Utopia Be\u00a0series was the previous flagship in the car audio arena, attracting discerning buyers even at the $4,899 (Kit No.7) asking price.<\/p>\n

The kit comprises the same Beryllium tweeters used in the hi-fi system, two 6.5″ woofers and two 8″ subwoofers. There are no crossovers included as the system as it is designed to be installed with active amplification.<\/p>\n

According to Focal<\/strong>, the tweeter is unique in that it has a wide bandwidth, playing as low as 500Hz.<\/p>\n
