Focal Expands Integration Speaker Series and Launches New Entry-Level 100 Series

2018 sees the launch of two new important built-in speaker ranges from Focal, with the introduction of the all new entry-level 100 Series and additional products added to the mid-priced 300 Series, focused on audio performance. With both series offering a wide array of in-wall/in-ceiling models, stereo, AV and ambient music applications are catered for, with each model conforming faithfully to Focal’s signature sound.

Following the official introduction at CEDIA Expo 2014, Origin Acoustics’ in-wall / in-ceiling speaker range made its European debut at ISE 2015. With nearly 100 different products shipping, including electronics, Ken Humphreys, Ed Haase and Jeremy Burkhardt’s team seems focused on appointing motivated dealers and expand global distribution as quickly as possible.

The CEDIA Expo 2014 is certainly the next great event for the AV industry. Promoted every year by the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association (CEDIA), the event is scheduled for September 10–13 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, CO. Concurrently to the exhibition the workshops, classes, and seminars include unmissable topics for any audio professional.
