help Focal Alpha 65 FAQ
Is the Focal Alpha 65 the same speaker as the Alpha 65 Evo?
No. The original Alpha 65 uses Focal's Polyglass woofer, while the newer Alpha 65 Evo uses a 6.5-inch Slatefiber woofer and a 1-inch aluminum inverted-dome tweeter.
How low does the Focal Alpha 65 Evo play without a subwoofer?
Focal specifies a frequency response of 40 Hz to 22 kHz, which covers much of the bass needed for nearfield mixing. A subwoofer can still help when judging deep electronic bass or effects below 40 Hz.
Can I connect an audio interface and consumer equipment to the Alpha 65 Evo?
Yes. Each powered monitor provides balanced XLR and TRS inputs plus an unbalanced RCA input, although the inputs are not intended to play multiple sources simultaneously.
How much space does the rear port on the Alpha 65 Evo need?
The Alpha 65 Evo is front-ported, making it easier to place near a wall than many rear-ported monitors. Its rear controls also provide bass adjustment of plus or minus 6 dB and treble adjustment of plus or minus 3 dB for room placement.
