Based in France, Focal has been known for audio innovation and its dedication to acoustics since its beginnings in 1979. They design, manufacture, and assemble almost all of their products at their Saint-Etienne factory. Because of their attention to detail and dedication, they’ve created what many consider one of the best high-fidelity loudspeakers in the world—the Grande Utopia.
In 2021, Focal came out with their new 1000 Series—a customized audio solution for home theaters and hi-fi setups that takes audio to a whole new level, producing an unrivaled level of performance. As a home audio specialist, Wipliance is excited to share what this means for home theater and hi-fi enthusiasts in Seattle, WA.

The Focal 1000 Series
The 1000 series features seven integrated products, including a Utopia loudspeaker and subwoofer representing Focal’s signature sound and flagship technology. In-wall and in-ceiling speakers and a new subwoofer make up the 1000 series that promises the highest level of stereo and home cinema reproduction. This is the high-performance ensemble audiophiles have been waiting for.
The Focal 1000 IWLCR Utopia In-Wall Loudspeaker
At the heart of their innovation is the Utopia in-wall loudspeaker—the product that delivers Focal’s signature sound and unrivaled quality. It comes equipped with four 6.5-inch bass drivers and two 3-inch midrange drivers. When combined with the Utopia subwoofer, the bass reproduction creates a vibrant, all-encompassing sound. Sensational is the word that best describes the combined power of two Utopia products.
World-Renowned Technology
Their 1000 series maintains Focal’s highest standards, including their groundbreaking technology that placed them at center stage. A few of their innovative firsts include the following:
- ‘W’ Sandwich Cone: Focal’s ‘W’ cone creates total sound transparency and low distortion. It achieves this through the use of woven glass tissue sandwiched between the foam core. The result is a lightness and rigidity with superior flex behavior that optimizes the frequency response curve.
- Beryllium Tweeter: The Beryllium inverted dome tweeter’s remarkable rigidity creates a lightning-fast impulse response. Focal was the first audio company to perfect the use of this material in tweeters, and its use is a rarity in built-in speakers.
The result is a precise, crystal-clear sound that defines acoustic perfection.
Our team of audio experts at Wipliance will install and adjust these speakers for flawless sound spatialization. Thanks to the midrange-treble drivers mounted in their own plate and different level and positioning settings, we can customize the installation to fit the room and the listening position perfectly. In this way, the minutest sound details are delivered to every seat in the room.
You’ll hear the subtle whispers and the gentle rain. And the loud, explosive scenes will reverberate within you. The speakers also match your home’s aesthetics due to their magnetic grilles that come ready to paint, blending in with walls and ceilings.
Do we sound excited about Focal’s latest offerings? That is probably an understatement. As audio-video specialists, we know that these products will deliver unprecedented sound reproduction, and we can’t wait to share them with you.
