Focal CMS 65 Pair + CMS Sub System

The Focal CMS 65 is the reference of the CMS line. On its introduction at AES in San Francisco 2008, it immediately received the Excellence Award from the magazine Pro Audio Review due to its amazing size/price/performance ratio. Its extended response at 45Hz (-3dB) allows an installation without a subwoofer. Treble definition, midrange transparency and control of the midbass and bass registers are all key points of the CMS 65. The outstanding stability of the tonal balance, even at very high sound level, ensures very high quality when mastering.

The 11" Polyglass® cone woofer used in the Focal CMS SUB is both very light and extremely rigid for a neutral and distortion-free response.  This incredible weight-to-rigidity ratio is obtained by applying a thin layer of hollow glass spheres on top of a cellulose-based cone.  The high excursion capabilities of the CMS SUB woofer offer tight and controlled bass, able to reproduce even the most minute detail.  The CMS SUB woofer was designed to be extremely efficient, to make the most out of amplifier headroom, making sure that you can hear the slightest changes to compression settings.
