In October 2024, FOCAL made waves in the audio industry with the launch of their first-ever DIVA UTOPIA active hi-fi speakers. This groundbreaking release represents a convergence of three revolutionary technologies - active amplification, wireless connectivity, and smart integration - creating an immersive bridge between the world of sound and everyday life. The culmination of five years of intensive research and development by the FOCAL team, the DIVA UTOPIA exemplifies the French acoustic brand's unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation. Available exclusively through Focal Powered by Naim boutiques, this masterpiece seamlessly combines audiophile-grade sound quality with Naim's cutting-edge wireless technology and elegant design, delivering unprecedented freedom and usability.

Installation and operation are remarkably straightforward, eliminating the need for complex wiring or additional power amplifiers while delivering a comprehensive, pure listening experience. The speaker features proprietary Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) technology, developed in partnership with industry leaders, ensuring precise and stable wireless connectivity with sound quality that surpasses CD standards and rivals professional studio-grade audio resolution. To enhance user experience, the DIVA UTOPIA incorporates powerful connectivity and control features, creating an ecosystem that balances simplicity, efficiency, and versatility. Users can easily control the system through the Focal & Naim app, remote control, or voice assistants like Google Assistant and Siri.

"With DIVA UTOPIA, our primary goal was to create a perfect user experience without compromises. We can confidently say we've achieved that goal," states Cédrick Boutonet, CEO of Focal & Naim.

The DIVA UTOPIA offers seamless connectivity through Bluetooth®, AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and UPnP™ technologies. Through the Focal & Naim app, users can access streaming platforms including Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, and QQ Music. Notably, the integration of QQ Music via QPlay caters specifically to Chinese market users. The speaker system also connects to televisions via optical or HDMI eARC inputs, delivering cinema-quality sound. For vinyl enthusiasts, RCA line inputs allow connection to phono preamps for the ultimate analog listening experience.

For music lovers looking to build a Focal & Naim audio ecosystem, the DIVA UTOPIA's connectivity features support multi-room speaker configurations, enabling seamless integration into a home music network. Through the jointly developed Focal and Naim application, users can easily create custom audio environments, controlling single or multiple products, including the DIVA UTOPIA, for unique music, film, and gaming experiences.

The speaker's smart home integration capabilities revolutionize how music integrates into daily life, with compatibility across major home automation systems enabling programmed smart connectivity. This allows users to enjoy high-fidelity music throughout their living spaces, creating an immersive audio experience. The DIVA UTOPIA undoubtedly elevates the art of high-quality living.

The new DIVA UTOPIA represents a perfect synthesis of FOCAL's acoustic expertise and Naim's electronic innovation. For FOCAL, this wireless speaker demonstrates their position at the forefront of audio technology. The speaker employs the patented "W" cone technology, optimizing critical driver parameters (weight, rigidity, and damping) to achieve perfect frequency response curves with minimal distortion and exceptional transparency. In the treble range, FOCAL's exclusive "M" profile pure beryllium tweeter combines high-frequency sound dispersion with unique material properties to reproduce detailed sound with extraordinary fidelity while maintaining a broad soundstage.

Electronically, FOCAL draws on the expertise of sister brand Naim Audio within the Vervent Audio Group. Each speaker features an integrated 400-watt Class AB amplifier and a streaming player capable of up to 348kHz/32-bit resolution, representing the pinnacle of electronic technology in analyzing sound dynamics.

The DIVA UTOPIA's design reflects meticulous attention to detail, combining elegant contours with technical sophistication. Bass drivers are ingeniously positioned on the sides, with floating side panels featuring horizontal separation and a front-cut design accented by backlit brand logos. The overall aesthetic achieves a delicate balance between understated elegance and powerful presence. Signature Utopia series design elements include the red and black dual grilles for the tweeter and a brushed aluminum band encircling the cabinet, forming a "yin-yang" symbol that represents the harmony between artisanal craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. Inspired by luxury timepiece design, the speaker features side panels wrapped in OEKO-TEX®-certified polyester felt, extending its unique aesthetic while adhering to sustainability principles.
