Focal Shape 65 Active Speaker is a Winner for Both Audiophiles and Studios (Take 2, Ep:5)

This Take 2 episode features Focal’s Shape 65 analog active loudspeaker, which is mainly designed for professional use (i.e., recording studios as a monitor), but, as Gordon Brockhouse and Jay Lee have found out, the Shape 65 is exceptional in a home environment, both in a nearfield situation and as traditionally placed stereo loudspeakers. Besides this video review, you can read Gordon Brockhouse’s exhaustive written review on SoundStageSimplifi.com through this link: https://www.soundstagesimplifi.com/in... What’s important to know about the Focal Shape 65 is that because it’s active, it has its own built-in amplification. That means that the user doesn’t need to supply a power amplifier – you can drive a pair of Shape 65s directly with the outputs of a traditional two-channel preamplifier, or even with a digital-to-analog converter or phono stage with a volume control. All told, the Focal Shape 65 is a versatile loudspeaker that you absolutely need to know about, whether you’re working in the studio or relaxing at home. #speakers #hifi #audiophile
