After four years of research and development, the engineers at Focal have designed a Magnesium dome for the Clear Mg headphone drivers. This new alloy, combined with an ‘M’-shaped dome, contributes to even more lightness, rigidity and damping, the three success factors for a speaker driver. "The sound reproduction is fine, precise and impactful, for a strikingly realist sound," Focal says.
In addition to their sound quality, the new Clear Mg headphones stand out for their elegant design, in line with the most recent products from the brand. Their Chestnut and Mixed Metals finish, as well as the fine materials used (leather, aluminum, microfibre), make it a truly design-led accessory. Combined with an amplifier/DAC, Clear Mg headphones will be able to offer improved performance, and thanks to an impedance of 55 Ohms, they can also be used without compromise with a portable audio player.
The St. Étienne brand first positioned itself on the global market of Hi-Fi headphones in 2016. This unique savoir-faire, combined with French manufacturing mastered in its own workshops, has led Focal to be recognized by the French state as a Living Heritage Company (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant).
In developing its products, Focal places design and materials at the forefront in its mission to create the ultimate sound and listening comfort. The solid aluminum yoke has been developed to perfectly mold to the face, the headband covered in genuine leather and microfiber offers a constant curve, no matter which way the head turns, and the perforated microfiber earpads result in enhanced opening and comfort. The outside of the earpads boasts a sophisticated honeycomb pattern: an elegance contributed to by the brand-new Chestnut and Mixed-Metals finish which blend classic and modern looks. For a perfect package, the carrying case has been woven in colors to match the headphones.
The Focal Clear Mg is now available for $1490 US, supplied with two cables and a carrying case.
