The Focal Scala Utopia Evo M hi-fi speaker incorporates a new PRISM tweeter and M-profile W midrange.
The Scala Utopia Evo M adopts the M-profile midrange from the Utopia Main professional range. It combines a W cone with sandwich structure and a one-piece M-profile geometry. This combination guarantees rigidity, ultra-linear frequency response, and very low distortion. The midrange register, says Focal, is “significantly more transparent, precise, and natural.”
The PRISM tweeter, recently introduced on the Diva Alta Utopia, makes its debut on the Scala. This new generation of high-frequency cone, based on a multi-material combination and an advanced micro-structuring process, achieves a higher level of rigidity than beryllium, while maintaining an optimum balance between lightness and damping. It’s coupled with IAL2 (Infinite Acoustic Loading) technology.
TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) suspension limits cone deformation and reduces distortion, thereby preserving dynamics and sound definition. The W woofer, which has been completely redesigned, incorporates a dual-ferrite motor to deliver powerful, deep, controlled bass, says Focal.
OPC+ (Optimum Phase Crossover) allows precise adjustment of bass and treble to suit the listening environment, as well as Gamma and Focus Time technologies, guaranteeing exemplary temporal consistency and mechanical stability. The overall result is more faithful and dynamic reproduction.
The wooden cabinet is made by the brand’s cabinetmakers in Burgundy, combining precision craftsmanship with exacting acoustic standards. The drivers are manufactured at its acoustic workshops in Saint-Étienne. Its patented technologies also originated in France, including the PRISM.
Available in five premium lacquer or wood finishes starting in August 2026, the Scala Utopia Evo M will be $58,000 in Canada in Black High Gloss, Off-White High Gloss, and Warm Taupe High Gloss and in Light Walnut with an Off-White front panel and Dark Walnut with a Sepia Brown front panel for $64,000.
