5. Focal Shape Twin
The Shape Twin, like the Shape 40, 50, and 65 models, is manufactured in France. Designed specifically for near-field monitoring, the Shape monitors combine brilliant design with various essential adjustment options for acoustic adaptation to small listening environments.
The Shape Twin stands out particularly for its excellent coverage of the entire audio spectrum, an extended bass range, and its exceptional sound performance for its size. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the monitor can be used even in the smallest of spaces. The key advantage is the 2.5-way design, which allows for precise evaluation of bass and lower mids that are typically difficult to control in small rooms. The 2.5-way configuration in D'Appolito arrangement ensures extremely precise control in the bass and lower midrange and can be integrated into any room due to its compact size. Finally, the new tweeter demonstrates what very high resolution means. It reveals every emphasis and operates very precisely in the presence range.
Thus, the Shape Twin rightfully serves as the flagship and reference of the Shape series. It features two passive radiators, a new woofer with a flax membrane, and the latest inverted aluminum/magnesium dome tweeter with M-profile.
