Focal has introduced the new Diva Mezza Utopia wireless active speakers, which boast a striking design along with immersive hifi sound.
Larger and more powerful than its predecessor, the Diva Mezza Utopia comes equipped with four 8-inch ‘W’ cone woofers (at 20.5cm, they are 4cm larger than Diva Utopia) configured in a push-push layout, which Focal says delivers “deep, dynamic, and controlled bass.” This low-end response lays the foundation to allow the full capabilities of the ‘M’-shaped Beryllium tweeter and ‘W’ cone midrange driver to shine, resulting in a wider, more articulate soundstage, adds the company.
As an active loudspeaker, Diva Mezza Utopia integrates a re-engineered Naim Audio electronics package. Delivering 500 watts per speaker, the system features a dual-stage power supply for. At the rear, the sculpted, high-efficiency heat sink ensures optimal thermal stability and long-term reliability.
Designed to perform in rooms up to 100m², Mezza Utopia features Ultra Wideband (UWB), a unique audio innovation that enables uncompressed, high-resolution signal transmission at 96kHz/24-bit, wirelessly. UWB delivers the clarity and precision of a wired connection, says Focal, without the physical constraints of cabling. A direct wired connection is also available, unlocking studio-grade resolution at 192kHz/24-bit.
Complementing this is the Intelligent Dynamics Clocking (IDC), a precision clock-control system that ensures exact synchronization between channels for a coherent, stable soundstage.
Additionally, Focal’s patented ADAPT (Adaptive Acoustic Personal Tuning) technology uses an algorithm to calibrate the system to both room acoustics and user preferences. Accessible via the Focal & Naim app, ADAPT delivers a finely tuned, personalized listening experience.
Like Diva Utopia, Diva Mezza Utopia benefits from the Focal & Naim ecosystem through the advanced Pulse Platform. It offers extensive wireless connectivity with support for Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and UPnP, enabling access to streaming services including Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz Connect, and QQ Music (China). The system supports high-resolution multiroom streaming and is compatible with smart home platforms like Control4, Crestron, Savant, and RTI.
You can control the system via the Focal & Naim app, the included remote, or voice assistants like Google Assistant and Siri.
Aesthetically, the body is crafted from high-density polymer using a low-pressure molding process, ensuring precise construction, efficient material use, and acoustic optimization. The speaker rests on a double-level, beveled base and features signature floating side panels, a signature of the Diva Utopia range. These panels are made from felt, an eco-friendly yet refined material, presented in a new ivory hue that highlights the speaker’s contours and adds brightness to the environment. There’s also dual red and black grille on the tweeter and a brushed aluminum band encircling it.
The Focal Diva Mezza Utopia will be available this month exclusively through the Focal Powered by Naim network of authorized retailers for $97,249 in Canada.
