Measuring over two metres in height, this structure delivers sound of unrivalled precision, power, and finesse. It stands as a technological monument, combining all the best innovations of the French brand designed for reference, uncompromising sound.
Lifestyle: An acoustic sculpture and "Focus Time"
Each driver is housed in a separate cabinet. The whole creates a spectacular backbone for the speaker, the curvature of which can be adjusted using a special leather-wrapped crank. This unique "Focus Time" function allows for a perfect mechanical alignment of the soundstage with the listener's exact position and distance. A modern, striking silhouette and exclusive finishes inspired by the automotive world make Grande Utopia not just audio equipment, but a true work of art in a sophisticated interior.
Technology: A concentrate of patented innovations
40 cm Electromagnetic (EM) woofer: Replacing a traditional permanent magnet with a powerful electromagnet has resulted in unprecedented driving force and full control over the bass. An external power supply allows for the adjustment of the lowest frequencies, tailoring them perfectly to the room's acoustics.
IAL2 Pure Beryllium tweeter: An incredibly rigid and light inverted dome capable of reproducing frequencies with absolute clarity up to 40 kHz, capturing the finest micro-details.
"W" cones, TMD and NIC motor: Drivers equipped with the iconic "W" cones guarantee sound transparency. TMD suspension technology eliminates vibrations, and the NIC system stabilizes the magnetic field, translating into incredible midrange realism.
OPC+ crossover: A system that allows for sound personalization on an unprecedented scale. The user has access to 1458 possible adjustment combinations to perfectly integrate the speakers with the acoustics of their living room.
