Focal Motorities – NEW Car Subwoofers!

Focal Motorities are made by one of the most respected loudspeaker manufacturers in the world. They make the incredible Grande Utopia speakers. And they are very rare amongst speaker brands in that they have always been involved in aftermarket high end automotive audio. Yes, you can get Bowers & Wilkins branded audio with your car, (OEM) but it will not be the same as custom engineering which costs lots of course. Yet Focal know they have a specialist market and have just released a new stable of subwoofers for that custom market. Called ‘Motorities’ and based around a ten and a twelve, they offer single and dual voice coil models and also have slimline versions. This adds up to six new subwoofer models. There is even a snazzy demo car!

The Motorities’ specifications are pretty impressive although not aimed at the lunatic end. Morel still do that so they would be daft to compete for the smaller segment, perhaps. I suspect they are damn good sound quality but I really want to try one. I do still have the test rig kit here to do it. Anyway, here is the press release, with very little ‘tech’ in it but rather generic praise for the regular not-specialist reader.

Focal, the on-board sound reference, presents its line of six subwoofers for the car

With its renowned sound savoir-faire, the St. Étienne brand unveils six new subwoofers in its Motorities Collection. Having launched the Auditor and Slatefiber audio kit lines at the start of this year, Focal now further enhances its offering of products dedicated to in-car listening, confirming its position as the reference in on-board sound.

SUBWOOFERS TO COVER ALL USES

The new line of Focal Motorities subwoofers includes six products with different formats to meet all in-car system needs: Sub 10, Sub 10 Dual, Sub 10 Slim, Sub 12, Sub 12 Dual, Sub 12 Slim. The models are divided into two diameters (10 or 12 inch / 25 or 30cm), designed with a single voice coil for conventional use or dual voice coil for even better performance. Two slim models complete the line to deliver a fully compact solution.

BOOSTED BASS

Armed with its savoir-faire and engineering, Focal develops products that enhance the listening experience. While the Focal Motorities subwoofers unveiled are designed to meet all installation needs, they guarantee boosted bass reproduction. Their robust polypropylene cone – which proved its worth in the Auditor line of kits – is a component that is highly adapted for impressive low frequency reproduction. Integrating a subwoofer into a car system delivers a significantly improved overall reproduction quality, contributing to the dynamics and even the physical sensation of very low frequencies.

TOTAL COMPATIBILITY

These six Focal Motorities subwoofers are compatible with all of the brand’s Motorities products; they remain highly recommended as complementary additions to an Auditor, Access, Universal, Polyglass or even Slatefiber system. They are efficient in sealed and bass-reflex set- ups; the slim versions will also suit sealed or compact boxes (from 10L).
