FOCAL JM LABS - PROFILE 908 BOOKSHELF SPEAKER in Classic (Pr)
Advanced Technology Meets Beautiful Curves - The Focal - JM Lab Profile 908
The Profile 908 is not your average bookshelf speaker. This two-way, bass reflex loudspeaker features a 6 1/2” W-Cone Woofer and a 1” aluminum/magnesium tweeter. This new generation woofer delivers controlled bass like no other speaker its size. The tweeter is perfectly flat up to 30kHz, allowing the speaker to reproduce high frequencies with equal finesse. Its beautiful curves not only serve the aesthetic, but the absence of parallel surfaces reduces standing waves and eliminates distortion. The 908 throws a massive soundstage, both deep and wide. If you don’t have room for a larger enclosure in your listening space, but require the accuracy and natural tonality of a high performance speaker design, the Profile 908 deserves your attention. Available in three finishes: Classic (shown), Signature and Style.
The Tweeter:
As in the Utopia Be Series, the Profile tweeter uses a Poron suspension that helps deliver increased speed, frequency extension and inner detail found in today’s best pressings and CD’s. The use of Poron prevents the suspension from negatively acting upon the tweeter diaphragm which reduces the levels of distortion by a factor of ten. This immediately translates to an extremely smooth and detailed high frequency presentation, especially at 2 kHz, where the ear is extremely sensitive.
The W-Cones Drivers:
The W-Sandwich Composite Cone, patented by Focal over 15 years ago, has gone through tremendous innovations and refinements. The major advance comes from the use of special structural aerospace foam and tunable layers of finely woven glass tissue. The molecular bond between the foam and the glass tissue results in a cone structure that is low in mass, mechanically dampened, with superior rigidity. The W-Cone produces an extremely transparent and neutral sound; free from coloration and distortions normally associated with loudspeakers.
The Cabinet:
The elegant cabinets offered in the Profile Series are made up of six curved 3mm layers bound by a proprietary resin, further reinforced by robust internal ribbing and a sophisticated back brace; this sandwich structure is highly rigid and prevents the spread of vibrations for extremely flat low-frequency response. The curved panel and 4MM thick front baffle greatly reduces resonance and coloration. No internal cavity surfaces are parallel so that standing waves are dispersed naturally through the loudspeaker for improved linearity and powerful bass response.
