FOCAL SHAPE 65 - 6.5 inch Active 2-Way Studio Monitor with Flax Cone and Passive Radiators

Mixing in an untreated room often means fighting low-end inaccuracy and listening fatigue. The FOCAL SHAPE 65 solves this with a sealed cabinet and dual passive radiators that deliver tight, controlled bass without the port noise or rear-wall coupling issues of traditional monitors. Its 6.5-inch Flax cone woofer and inverted aluminum-magnesium dome tweeter produce a precise, neutral soundstage that reveals every detail in your mix, from 40 Hz up to 35 kHz.

Who is it for

This monitor is built for producers, mixing engineers, and content creators who need reliable translation across playback systems. Whether you work in a small project studio, a home setup, or a professional control room, the Shape 65 adapts to your acoustic environment with flexible EQ controls and a desktop filter that compensates for console reflections.
