Focal Chora 826-D
4-Way Floorstanding Loudspeaker w/ Dolby Atmos Effect, TNF Tweeter & Slatefiber Cone - Each
Chora 826-D is a loudspeaker equipped with a specific speaker driver that reproduces Dolby Atmos effects: for ultra-realistic 3D soundtracks and total immersion in the films you watch. Positioned on the top of the loudspeaker, this full-range speaker driver directs the sound towards the ceiling to reflect it back to the listener. Action scenes in the air, pouring rain or a rolling thunder are all brought to life. At the same time, its directional baffle allows you to locate the sounds effects as though you had loudspeakers in the ceiling! Imagine a scene in a house: you hear conversations, but also the noise of cutlery, of footsteps... all of these spatialized in three dimensions as though you were actually there!
High Notes
High Tech Materials
With their new Slate driver and TMF inverted dome tweeter, you get a technology that has filtered down from some much more expensive Focal speakers.
Time Aligned Bliss
The time-aligned feature shows itself off with a huge wide and deep soundstage that will really pull you into the music.
French Styling
While you can get these in black, we love the style of the light wood version. They don’t look like your typical speaker and can add a sense of style to your room.
Dolby Atmos is a technology developed specifically for audio products. Dolby Atmos-equipped loudspeakers are “enabled speakers”: in addition to their speaker drivers in the front panel (horizontal channels), they incorporate a speaker driver on the top (vertical channel) which reflects the sound around the entire listening room. This technology also isolates each sound from the original soundtrack and mix, like an independent audio object, for the most detailed sound reproduction. With this technology, the emotion of cinema is transported into the heart of your lounge.
The TNF Aluminium/Magnesium tweeter
A Focal exclusive and made in France in our workshops from an Aluminium/Magnesium alloy, this tweeter offers many benefits, particularly in sound spatialisation. With this tweeter, there is no shortage of sound harmony and precision.
The Slatefiber cone
Also made in France in Focal's workshops, it is characterised by a rich, dynamic and balanced sound, particularly in the midranges, as well as a stunning aesthetic thanks to its “slate” effect. It is the fruit of several years of R&D: the engineers have mixed ultra-lightweight recycled non-woven carbon fibres –a first in the world of audio– with thermoplastic polymer. The combination of these materials offers excellent acoustic performance.
Manufactured in the Focal workshops using an ultra-modern industrial tool, the “slate” effect of the cone provides better damping and rigidity, but also lightness – the three “essentials” of a good speaker driver.
