They Still Make ‘Em Like They Used To: Focal Aria Evo X N°2 Floor-Standing Loudspeaker Features In-House-Made Drivers, M-Shaped TAM Tweeter, and Patented Midrange

Emotion, naturalism, presence, openness: The Focal Aria Evo X N°2 floor-standing loudspeaker delivers highly elevated levels of those sonic attributes every time you choose to sit down and listen. Made at Focal’s dedicated factory in France and designed to handle any musical style with equal prowess, Aria Evo X N°2 is an audiophile speaker for the modern era — one that doesn’t specialize in just one or two genres; one that  provides exceptional sound if and when used with film or surround applications; and one whose striking looks combine traditional and contemporary elements. You’ll see just how well-built and sleek this instrument right after you unbox it and fire it up in your system.

Recommended for rooms at least 215 square feet in size, the 55.12-pound Aria Evo X N°2 exemplifies the irreplicable strengths of in-house manufacturing and decades of expert engineering. Finessed and transparent, silky and smooth, its signature aluminum/magnesium M-shaped inverted-dome TAM tweeter offers a wide diffusion angle and spectacular definition — all without sacrificing directionality. A urethane tweeter plate with waveguide adds horizontal directivity and bolsters the pinpoint images.

Equally impressive, two 6.5-inch bass drivers — whose cones feature Focal’s patented flax fiber sandwiched between two sheets of glass fiber — check all the requisite boxes when it comes to rigidity, dampening, coloration-free responsiveness, and richness. They combine with a multi-port system — one port on the bottom of the front panel, one that faces the floor — to enhance depth, power, and impact. This array makes dynamic compression an afterthought. 

In the middle of it all, Aria Evo X N°2’s 6.5-inch midrange — complete with a patented TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) that stabilizes the surround between the solid frame of the speaker driver and the mobile cone, thus homogenizing the timbres even more and creating desired neutrality — might be the 40.75 x 11.625 x 14.625-inch floorstander’s defining characteristic. You’ll hear your favorite records with fresh ears and new clarity. 

On the exterior, Aria Evo X N°2 has non-parallel MDF side panels to keep vibration to a minimum, an aluminum alloy stand for superb stability, and height-adjustable spikes so you can situate each speaker to your space’s needs. A leather-effect front panel and detachable magnetic grille add to the charm. As does the amplifier-friendly 91dB sensitivity and five-year manufacturer warranty. 

Available in three gorgeous colors, Aria Evo X N°2 hits the highs, nails the mids, and isn’t afraid to go deep. Want to know more about Aria Evo X N°2 or Focal? Just reach out to a Music Direct audio consultant at 312-433-0200.
