Active Speaker of the Year

Bottomlessly Deep Bass

The Focus 600 XD is the flagship in our Focus XD series, and it redefines the high-end audio system by being the perfect combination of full-size loudspeaker and high-performance digital amplification.

“Between the left and right speakers, the total power available is a staggering 1200 watts (600 watts per channel),” Audio Esoterica.

And according to Greg Borrowman, the Focus 600 XD puts its full active DSP speaker design to good use:

“I found the clarity of the sound issuing from the 600XDs to be jaw-droppingly good… and that’s across the entire frequency spectrum… there simply isn’t a weak link anywhere,

“The bass is almost bottomlessly deep and can deliver anything from the sledgehammer-like impact of an aggressive kick drum to the subtle caress of a viola with equal authority and with unparalleled accuracy”.

The bottomlessly deep bass is provided by two, newly developed, ultra-long-throw Esotec+ woofers with large and powerful magnets – each driven by a 150W power amplifier – capable of delivering an impressively low-frequency output (down to 20Hz) with the highest level of precision and accuracy.

 

 

 

 

The Esotec+ midrange and 28mm soft dome tweeter are also individually driven by their own high-performance 150W power amplifier reproducing a music experience out of the ordinary:

“The same held true of the midrange. Vocals in particular are delivered with a crispness and a ‘you are there’ liveness that will have you shaking your head in wonderment.

“The Esotec+ tweeter when driven actively performs at the level of an Esotar² being driven passively, which means you’ll hear a beautiful, sweetly delicate sound and benefit from a frequency response that extends far beyond the range of the human hearing and one that is thus absolutely tailormade for delivering the potential subtleties of high-res audio recordings,” Sound + Image.
