What’s more, that 'M' also gives the dome greater rigidity, reducing unwanted distortion. That’s ideal when space is at a premium, as will often be the case where the Shape 65 are used. The ‘M’ shape profile of this inverted dome tweeter means directivity is even less than that of a normal inverted dome, which in turn allows for more flexibility in terms of listening position. Take the 25mm aluminium-magnesium tweeter, for example. Featuresįocal has also worked hard to accommodate various listening positions with its drivers. Just because you could attach these to the roof of a converted chapel, it doesn’t mean you should.
It is, however, important to remember these are nearfield monitors designed for close listening in smaller rooms. There are mounting mechanisms on the back and the underside of the monitor, meaning you can accommodate the Shape 65 pretty much anywhere without drilling into it or changing its structure. In addition to that triumph is Focal’s forethought when it comes to stand-, wall- and ceiling-mounting. You may have noticed the dual passive radiators located on the side panels, in lieu of a reflex port, which allow for your monitors to be placed right up against the wall without any boominess. The Shape 65 are practical as well as attractive, though.
The smooth curve linking the Shape’s facade to its roof is a worthy silhouette for a speaker with this moniker, and its smoothness is echoed by the immaculate finish across the rest of this MDF cabinet and its walnut veneer. There is a delicacy here that alludes to great craftsmanship.
