Focal Aria Evo X N°1 Two-Way Bookshelf Speaker (High-Gloss Moss Green, Single)

Enjoy refined high-end acoustics with the moss green Aria Evo X N° 1 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker from Focal. The Aria Evo X N° 1 features the Focal exclusive M-shaped inverted dome TAM tweeter and Flax sandwich woofer to provide natural sound with low coloration and directivity.

The Aria Evo X N° 1 is constructed from ultra-rigid MDF with non-parallel side panels to reduce vibration, finished in a beautiful moss green high-gloss. This speaker provides a fantastic stereo bookshelf option, or combine it with the rest of the Aria line to create full surround sound. The Aria Evo X N° 1 is recommended for rooms measuring from 161 ft² and from a listening distance of 7 to 10'. All Focal speakers drivers are developed and manufactured in France by Focal.

M-Shaped Inverted Dome TAM Tweeter

The M-shaped inverted dome TAM tweeter is the successor of the TNF tweeter from the previous Aria generation. It comprises an inverted dome cone made from an aluminium-magnesium alloy, which Focal has molded into the exclusive M shape. This innovative feature reproduces the treble more faithfully by going further into the high and low ends of the spectrum. Its directivity is even less that of the inverted dome tweeter, allowing for more flexibility in terms of listening position. Mechanically speaking, the M shape gives the dome much more rigidity, while reducing distortion even more.

Flax Cone

More than 30 years of research and development into engineering a diaphragm that is light, rigid, well damped, and made of sustainable materials has lead Focal to the Flax sandwich or F cone. Flax is twice as light as fiberglass, because the fiber is hollow. It also has very-low elasticity, which makes it ideal to increase the flexural rigidity of the sandwich. To design a high-performance diaphragm, you have to optimize a complex set of criteria, which is, for the most part, contradictory. The composite solution using Flax in a sandwich structure with fiberglass skins is a very harmonious way of combining low mass with high internal damping, high velocity of sound, and high flexural rigidity.

The Flax cone is made in France exclusively by Focal since 2013. With their original design, the cone is entirely oriented towards acoustic performance. F cone is characterized by its natural sound, with low coloration, its richness of reproduction in the midrange register and its tighter bass.

Tuned Mass Damper (TMD)

The midrange speaker drivers of the Aria Evo X line boast the TMD. The Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is a patented technology involving circular beads molded into the mass of the surround and judiciously sized and positioned. They stabilize how the surround behaves to avoid deformation of the cone and any negative impact on the dynamics, which leads to more faithfully reproduced midrange sound.
