NAMM 2025: French manufacturer Focal has announced the release of a new range of studio monitors. Described as the "ultimate Focal studio monitors", Utopia Main is the brand's first foray into the world of main monitors for soffit-mounting: large, high-end speakers designed to be built into the wall of a pro studio's control room.
Utopia Main 112 and and Utopia Main 212 are passive studio monitors powered by Class-H current-mode amplifiers; though the 212s are designed to be soffit-mounted, they can also be used standalone. The 3-way 112s are the smaller of the two, and can be positioned vertically or horizontally thanks to adjustable drivers, while the larger and more expensive 3.5-way 212s feature dual subwoofers and drivers.
