Reference monitor.

The Shape 65 is the reference monitor in the Shape series. Although it is designed as a near-field monitor, it delivers exceptional sound quality across the entire frequency range (40Hz – 35kHz). You’ll experience the full potential of the Shape 65 monitors when listening from a distance of 1 m (3 ft).

All Focal Shape monitors are manufactured in France and incorporate five innovative features designed to maximise the transparency of the sound they produce. Designed to meet the needs of near-field listening, the Shape monitors combine a meticulously thought-out design with numerous settings optimised for the acoustics of small listening rooms.

The Shape 65 monitors stand out for their wide and exceptionally precise stereo image. Thanks to two passive radiators on either side, the monitors can be placed close to a wall without losing control over the low frequencies. The midrange is characterised by exceptional clarity and the absence of any masking effect, which makes it much easier to control the midrange. Meanwhile, the newly designed tweeter guarantees precise control over the highest frequencies.

Key features:

• The low-mounted tweeter increases flexibility in terms of listening position
• The absence of a bass reflex port at the rear of the speaker allows the monitor to be placed close to a wall
• Settings optimised for the acoustics of small rooms
• Precise control even in the highest frequency range
• Flax-coated diaphragms guarantee the highest sound quality in the low and mid-frequency ranges
• Threads for ceiling and wall mounting (mounting hardware not included)
