Focal Vestia Center 2-Way Center Channel Speaker (Dark Wood)

Focal Vestia Center 2-Way Center Channel Speaker (Dark Wood)

The dark wood Vestia Center from Focal is a 2-way center channel speaker that provides the perfect complement to your Focal Vestia or any multichannel sound system. Focal strives to deliver faithful and accurate sound reproduction through use of their exclusive technologies, like the Slatefiber cone made from recycled carbon fibers and the M -shaped inverted dome TAM tweeter to enhance the treble. The Vestia Center speaker comes with a tilted base for a more immersive soundstage when placed on a shelf or other flat surface. Alternatively, the Focal Vestia Center Stand (available separately) serves as a stable floor stand. All Focal speakers are handmade in France with refined and elegant finishes.

Handcrafted in France

Made in France in their own workshops, these loudspeakers deliver the Focal purity of sound. They are proud to manufacture products in their production workshops in Saint Etienne and cabinetry workshops in Bourbon-Lancy, France, which has afforded them certification as a French Living Heritage Company and recognition worldwide.

The Slatefiber Cone

The Vestia loudspeakers are equipped with Focal s exclusive Slatefiber cone speaker drivers. Each center speaker houses two 6.5 composite cones, comprised of recycled non-woven carbon fibers applied as a filling between two layers of thermoplastic polymer. The combination of these two materials results in excellent acoustic performance, in terms of sound velocity as well as rigidity, damping, and lightness. Focal is the first brand in the audio field to use recycled carbon fibers in its speaker drivers.

M -Shaped Inverted Dome TAM Tweeter

Another engineering exclusive, Focal claims the M shape of the inverted dome tweeter has several advantages over a standard inverted dome tweeter. The 1 M -shaped tweeter is even less directional than the standard inverted dome for better flexibility of listening position. Also, the M shape gives the dome more rigidity while reducing distortion. The horn housing of the M -shaped tweeter has been designed to provide equal horizontal and vertical directivity, translating to more accurately reproduced high frequencies with less of a room sweet spot.

Design and Finish

For the Vestia line, Focal took their inspiration from Vesta and Hestia, Greek goddesses of the hearth and the home. The aesthetic combines a sleek design with understated and refined finishes. The front panels of the loudspeakers have a black leather effect, combined with a dark wood finish on the side panels.
