Focal Shape Twin - Refurbished

The Flagship of the Shape Range

At the top of the Shape family, the "Shape Twin" stands out with extended bass response and higher SPL capability, while maintaining the Focal sonic signature: neutrality, transient precision, and stable stereo imaging. Its compact design facilitates integration on a desk, console bridge, or editing rack without sacrificing low-end clarity.

For Whom and For What Uses?

Designed for demanding home studios, recording control rooms, broadcast, and post-production, the Shape Twin excels in close listening. It is ideal for composing, editing, mixing, and checking mix translation at realistic levels, even in constrained spaces, thanks to its controlled low-end behavior and comfortable peak level.

Design and Key Features

Class AB bi-amplification (bass/mid 80 W, treble 50 W) ensures fast impulse response and minimal smearing, guaranteeing reliable dynamic work. The 1" (25 mm) aluminum/magnesium dome tweeter with an "M" profile offers finesse and low directivity, providing a coherent sweet spot on the desk.
For acoustic integration, the Shape Twin includes a selectable high-pass filter (45/60/90 Hz) to pair with a subwoofer or reduce bass in close proximity, as well as dedicated equalizations: bass shelf (0-250 Hz), low-mid corrective centered at 160 Hz (Q = 1), and treble shelf (4.5-35 kHz). Connectivity covers studio scenarios via balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs with input sensitivity compensation, while the automatic standby mode optimizes power consumption without user intervention.
