Focal Alpha 80 Evo 8-inch Powered Studio Monitor

Sweetwater is excited to present to you the next generation of Focal’s Alpha series monitors. The Alpha 80 Evo design leverages cutting-edge materials and engineering to advance the state of the art in studio monitoring. This compact active 2-way monitor employs a 1-inch aluminum tweeter and an 8-inch woofer with a Slatefiber cone developed and handcrafted in Focal’s Saint-Étienne, France-based facility. Powered by 115 watts of optimized Class D bi-amplification and engineered to deliver flat tonal balance and outstanding dynamic range, the Alpha 80 Evo is designed from the ground up for improved performance over previous-generation Alpha monitors. The Focal Alpha 80 Evo is a versatile, robust speaker system that will complement your modern production environment and provide the honest, accurate monitoring you need to produce world-class results.

Unerring accuracy, outstanding performance

At the heart of the Alpha 80 Evo is the new Slatefiber LF driver. The singular characteristics of the Slatefiber material used for the cone have dramatically improved the low-frequency extension, dynamic range, and sheer impact of the Alpha 80 Evo as compared with its Alpha series predecessor. In addition, the 1-inch aluminum inverted dome tweeter has been updated to convey the most minute nuances in playback material with pinpoint precision — without a hint of harshness or the listening fatigue associated with many high-definition tweeter designs.

You can trust Focal monitors

With their extended frequency response and precise imaging, Focal’s Alpha 80 Evo 2-way active studio monitor is engineered to reproduce your audio signal with unerring accuracy. But beyond its impressive performance, this monitor is designed for flexible, seamless integration into you studio. The Alpha 80 Evo features rear-panel HF/LF shelving to optimize the system for any acoustic environment; in addition to balanced XLR, TRS, and unbalanced RCA inputs, it offers the energy-saving convenience of Focal’s automatic standby mode, which cuts power after 30 minutes of inactivity. Engineers at Sweetwater rely on Focal monitors to tell them the truth about what they’re recording. You can put your trust in them, too.
