Focal - Shape 50 (La Pièce)
Focal's Shape 50 is an 85W monitoring loudspeaker with a 5" woofer and 1" tweeter designed for use in close listening for home studio applications. The low midrange and midrange frequencies are extremely neutral, with no masking effect, making it much easier to equalise these ever-critical registers.
Presentation
The Focal Shape 50 features integrated TMD enclosures and dual passive radiators that increase low-frequency response and harmonic stability. The radiators allow flexible adjustment of low frequencies and deliver depth of field even when the speaker is placed close to a wall.
A passive radiator represents the advantages of a bass-reflex event, without the disadvantages of induced turbulence. A passive radiator comes into its own when the port size required to obtain the desired low-frequency output cannot be physically installed inside the cabinet.
Fitted with a 5-inch glass-fibre driver cone offering extreme definition of the midrange and low frequencies with minimal distortion, the Focal Shape 50 loudspeaker also features an M-shaped aluminium-magnesium inverted dome tweeter that offers astonishing neutrality below 6 kHz.
The amplification is entirely analogue, operating in Class A/B with 25W dedicated to its tweeter and 60W to the bass. Precision amplification includes high and low frequency shelving and a 160 Hz crossover tilt.
SonoVente.com recommends the Focal Shape 65 loudspeaker as a precise and revealing close professional listening system, with an open and naturally balanced sound.

The 5 innovations of the Shape series:
- The M profile tweeter: Focal has evolved its famous aluminum-magnesium inverted dome tweeter via a new M forming and a Poron suspension.
- N.I.C. : Controlling the magnetic field is a challenge to avoid harmonic and intermodulation distortions. Focal has created an incredibly stable magnetic circuit
- Linen sandwich membrane: This recent technology offers a decisive advance, in all the criteria of mass, rigidity and damping.
- TMD suspension: This technology makes it possible to linearize the response curve between 1 and 2 kHz, while significantly reducing distortion in this area. The midrange thus benefits from remarkable neutrality. It also contributes to the great precision of the overall stereo image.
- Key points in number that differentiate them from the mass of competitors who do not push the thinking as much as Focal!
