Why choose it

The Alpha Evo 80 brings Focal's renowned driver technology to a compact, affordable monitor. The Slatefiber cone—developed from the same composite used in Focal's high-end lines—offers exceptional rigidity and damping for tight, accurate bass. The aluminum inverted dome tweeter ensures wide dispersion and detailed highs, making it easier to judge reverb tails, sibilance, and stereo imaging. With flexible EQ controls, you can adapt the monitor to your room acoustics, and the automatic standby mode saves energy when not in use.

Ideal use cases

• Home studios and project studios for mixing and mastering
• Critical listening for music production, podcasting, and video editing
• Nearfield monitoring in small to medium rooms
• Audio enthusiasts seeking accurate sound reproduction

Good to know

The Alpha Evo 80 is sold as a single unit, so order two for stereo monitoring. It includes a power cord and quick start guide. The monitor is designed for use with balanced or unbalanced sources, and the rear-panel EQ switches allow you to compensate for placement near walls or corners. With its robust build and Focal's driver expertise, it's a reliable choice for both beginners and experienced producers.
