help Focal Sopra N° FAQ
Do the Focal Sopra speakers need a powerful amplifier to sound good?
The Sopra line has a relatively low sensitivity (around 91dB), so they do benefit from a high-current amplifier. Pairing them with a robust solid-state amp ensures the bass drivers and the famous beryllium tweeter perform at their absolute best without distortion.
What is the difference between the Focal Sopra N°1 and N°2?
The N°1 is the bookshelf model while the N°2 is the floorstanding version. The N°2 adds additional bass drivers to provide a lower frequency response, making it better suited for larger listening rooms.
What kind of tweeter is used in the Focal Sopra series?
Focal uses their signature inverted dome Beryllium tweeter, specifically the IAL 2 (Infinite Acoustic Loading) version in this lineup. This allows the speakers to produce incredibly airy and resolving high frequencies without being harsh.
Are Focal Sopra speakers made in France?
Yes, the Sopra line is designed and manufactured in France at Focal's workshop in Saint-Étienne. Focal takes pride in their European engineering heritage, which is reflected in the build quality and acoustic design of the speakers.
