FOCAL ELECTRA 1008 BE

Pre owned. In excellent condition. No visible signs of wear. Original packaging not included.

The Focal Electra 1008 Be bookshelf speaker represents Focal’s excellence in high-end compact speaker design, combining advanced technology, refined aesthetics, and outstanding sound performance. Manufactured in Focal’s Saint-Étienne laboratories in France, it delivers a wide and natural soundstage, precise bass, and optimized definition, ensuring faithful and detailed reproduction even in rooms up to 40 m². Its compact dimensions allow seamless integration into any listening space without compromising quality.

The ‘W’ composite sandwich cone is engineered to maximize frequency response by balancing lightness, rigidity, and damping. This combination provides precise control over signal transmission speed, ensuring accurate and fast transient reproduction. The beryllium tweeter dome, developed over two years of research and development, is a pure inverted beryllium design covering more than five octaves, enhancing the perception of micro-details and transients with exceptional linearity and clarity.

The IAL (Infinite Acoustic Load) technology applied to the tweeter extends the low-frequency response and brings the midrange in earlier, delivering a natural and precise reproduction across the full frequency range sensitive to the human ear. The tweeter housing, made from solid and molded aluminum alloy, ensures mechanical stability and eliminates vibrations, setting a benchmark for reliability and precision.

The design of the Focal Electra 1008 Be, created by the Pineau & Le Porcher agency, combines aesthetics and functionality: every curve and component is engineered to harmonize with technical requirements and enhance sound performance. Every detail, from the shape of the lines to the layout of the components, is intended to provide the best listening experience, making the Electra 1008 Be not just a bookshelf speaker, but a product where technology, musicality, and style converge in perfect harmony.
