Focal Aria Evo X N°2 Floorstanding Speakers

Description

Focal Aria Evo X N°2 Floorstanding Speakers

The Focal Aria Evo X N°2 Floorstanding Speakers are the most compact floorstanding speaker in the Aria Evo X range. However, it still delivers strong scale, deep bass, and a wide 45Hz to 30kHz frequency response. Focal recommends it for rooms from around 20m², with a listening distance of about 3 metres.

At Rapallo, the Focal Aria Evo X N°2 is a superb option for customers who want premium floorstanding performance without choosing a large tower speaker.

It has a very balanced character. The Flax drivers give vocals and instruments natural body. Also, the TAM tweeter adds smoothness, clarity, and precision. As a result, the speaker sounds detailed, but not overly bright.

The N°2 is also easier to live with than many bigger floorstanders. It has a clean footprint, elegant finish options, and a floor-facing bass system that helps with placement. However, it still deserves quality amplification. Its impedance can dip to 2.9 ohms, so a capable integrated amplifier or AV receiver is recommended.

For NZ customers wanting a refined French floorstander for music, streaming, vinyl, and home theatre, the Aria Evo X N°2 is a very strong choice.

3-Way Floorstanding Design

The Aria Evo X N°2 is a 3-way bass-reflex floorstanding loudspeaker. Therefore, bass, midrange, and treble are handled by dedicated driver sections for better clarity and control.

Dual 6.5-Inch Flax Bass Drivers

Two 6.5-inch Flax bass drivers give the N°2 impressive low-frequency weight for its size. Plus, Focal’s Flax cone design combines lightness, rigidity, and damping for controlled bass performance.

Dedicated Flax Midrange with TMD Surround

The 6.5-inch Flax midrange driver uses Focal’s TMD surround. This helps improve midrange control and gives voices a natural, present, and expressive quality.

TAM Tweeter for Smooth Precision

The Aluminium/Magnesium M-shaped inverted dome TAM tweeter is designed for precision and softness. It also uses a urethane tweeter plate with a waveguide for improved horizontal directivity and imaging.

Powerflow Multi-Port System

The Powerflow multi-port system uses a front port and a floor-facing port. As a result, the speaker delivers deeper bass, more impact, and reduced dynamic compression.

Ultra-Rigid MDF Cabinet

The cabinet uses ultra-rigid MDF with non-parallel side panels. This helps reduce vibration and supports a cleaner, more neutral sound.

Aluminium Alloy Stand

The integrated aluminium alloy stand adds stability and includes height-adjustable spikes. Therefore, the speaker can be levelled more accurately for better floor coupling and cleaner setup.

Premium Finish Options

The Aria Evo X N°2 is available in Black High Gloss, Moss Green High Gloss, and Prime Walnut. It also features a leather-effect front panel and magnetic grille for a premium finish.
