Mounting Options

Precision by Triad-Orbit Mounting Solution
Immersive Sound Speaker Mount System offers many options for mounting onto walls and ceilings with Triad-Orbit Technology. This uniquely designed patent-pending speaker mounting system allows the installer to meet the critical demands of Dolby Atmos and immersive sound installations providing unparalleled flexibility in mounting and alignment options, saving time in installation room tuning and laser alignments.

(1) SM-SW1 + WM1 Wall Mount + FP Focal Adapter:
The SM-SW1 is the strongest, most precise speaker mount. With the ability to lock speaker tilt in 15-degree increments and pan on 30-degree increments, the SM-SW1 Speaker Mount is perfect for heavier speakers and critical listening spaces like Dolby Atmos mixing rooms.

The Precision SM-FP by Triad-Orbit Focal speaker plate is designed to accommodate Focal two hole speakers with a range of 35mm to 105mm. Its “T” shape allows the SM-SW1 to avoid the speaker’s I/O, switches, and knobs, and it features four SM-SW1 M8 holes for both vertical and horizontal orientation. This plate is compatible with various models, including Alpha 50 Evo, Alpha 65 Evo, Shape 40, Shape 50, Shape 65, and Shape Twin.

IsoAcoustics Mounting Solutions
Featuring IsoAcoustics award winning isolation technology, V120 Mount is a studio monitor ceiling and wall mount that decouples studio monitors from wall and ceiling structures, mitigating structure borne vibrations from exciting the supporting surfaces.

The V120 isolation mount is adaptable to wall mount and ceiling structures and is designed to be compatible with many studio monitors weighing up to 40lbs (18.1kg).

(1) V120 Mount w/ V120 T-Adapter + C-Bracket:
Improved Spatial Openness and Clarity for Wall & Ceiling Mounted Pro Audio Speakers.

The C-Bracket will allow the studio monitors to be focused downwards, or tilted up to 45 upwards. If you need to tilt your studio monitors higher, then please use the L-Bracket instead of the C-Bracket.

(2) V120 Mount w/ V120 T-Adapter + L-Bracket:
The L-Bracket will allow the studio monitor to be focused horizontally, or tilt up to 45 degrees downwards. The C-Bracket will allow the studio monitors to be focused downwards, or tilted up to 45 upwards. If you need to tilt your studio monitors lower, then please use the C-Bracket instead of the L-Bracket.

(3) ISO-Puck (Pack of 2):
The ISO-Puck has a weight capacity of 20 lbs (9 kg) per unit. The ISO-Puck can isolate a speaker or monitor that is up to 60 lbs (27 kg) when using 3 units, or up to 80 lbs (36.3 kg) using 4 units. The low-profile design makes the ISO-Puck series the ideal solution on meter bridges, on top of floor stands, consoles, desktops, millwork, or soffit mounted. The ISO-Puck upper flange “suction cup” design adheres to the underside of the cabinet making the upper isolator live with the speaker, while the lower isolator anchors to the supporting surface. All the energy is managed within the core of the ISO-Puck isolators. The IsoAcoustics patented isolation design provides improved stereo imaging. The isolators are biased to keep all energy in alignment with the listening position, resulting in greater clarity and focus. If more height or tilt is required, please see IsoAcoustics ISO-Stand Series.

(4) ISO-200 Speaker Stands (Pair):
The ISO-200 isolation stand stand is 7.8-Inch (200mm) wide x 10-Inch (254mm) depth and is rated for monitors weighing up to 60 lbs (27.2 kg) each. Offering 14 variations of height and tilt, the ISO-200 will help you optimize the placement of your monitors and focus your tweeters to ear level. The IsoAcoustics patented isolation design provides improved stereo imaging. The isolators are biased to keep all energy in alignment with the listening position, resulting in greater clarity and focus.

Focus mode: two monitors in one
In order to ensure translation to smaller playback systems, it's often helpful to use compact, frequency-limited speakers to check our mixes. Thanks to Focal's convenient Focus mode, Solo6 fulfills this function — it's effectively two monitors in one. In 2-way mode, this studio monitor boasts a 45Hz–40Hz frequency response via its 6.5-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter. When you switch over to Focus mode, Solo6 exhibits a 110Hz–10kHz frequency response from the woofer alone. Focus mode give you an invaluable real-world reality check without necessitating a second set of studio monitors.

Focal's beryllium inverted-dome tweeter
A Focal hallmark is the inverted-dome tweeter — and it's a big part of the magic behind Solo6's amazing performance. The particular advantage of the inverted dome is that it optimizes the mechanical coupling between the voice coil and the dome. As the voice coil is fixed at mid-height on the dome, it can uniformly move Solo6's entire cone surface. This design inherently offers high efficiency, precision, and energy, all resulting in an extremely precise soundstage. Add to that the use of beryllium for Solo6's dome — a material noted for its incredible rigidity — and you've got a speaker that can near-linearly span from 45Hz all the way up to 40kHz, above the range of human hearing.

"W" composite sandwich cone and large laminar port
Solo6 takes advantage of Focal's "W" composite sandwich cone. The unique characteristics of the cone permits optimization of the frequency response curve, thanks to the total control of three key parameters: lightness, rigidity, and damping. Solo6 also employs a large laminar port, which is completely devoid of unwanted port noises and distortion.
