Versatility, discretion and studio performance. The benchmark in the Alpha Evo line, the Focal Alpha 80 Evo is particularly recommended for high sound levels and extended subwoofers. With its 21 cm woofer with Slatefiber cone, this amplified monitoring loudspeaker offers great neutrality across the entire spectrum and excellent dynamics with very low distortion.
 
Polyvalence
Connection of up to three audio sources (XLR, TRS and RCA inputs), disengageable automatic standby mode, wall or ceiling mounting: Alpha 80 Evo integrates a wide range of features for mixing, mastering or broadcasting.
 
Optimal Integration
Featuring a large-section vent for a compact bass-reflex design, rounded contours and robust side panels to enhance the sound, Alpha 80 Evo integrates easily into studios without compromising performance.
 
Performance
The woofer features a Slatefiber diaphragm renowned for its neutral sound and low distortion. Added to this are an aluminum tweeter for fine treble and two high-current amplifiers for dynamic signal control.

  • Neutrality and dynamics

    - The Alpha 80 Evo is designed to provide a neutral tonal balance at all volume levels. This delivers accurate and reliable sound, making it a valuable reference tool for tracking, mixing, and other professional audio applications.

    Slatefiber cone woofer

    - The monitor's 8-inch low-frequency driver features a Slatefiber cone, which is manufactured by Focal in France using recycled, non-woven carbon fibers and thermoplastic polymer. This material provides superior rigidity, damping, and lightness, resulting in faster transient response, neutral sound, and very low distortion.

    Aluminum inverted dome tweeter

    - High frequencies are produced by a 1-inch aluminum inverted dome tweeter, a signature Focal design. This technology offers a wide dispersion angle and low directionality for a consistent soundstage throughout the room, even when listening off-axis.

    Large laminar port

    - A large front-firing laminar bass port, a design change from the original Alpha 80, helps extend the bass response while reducing port noise.

    Deep low-end extension

    - With a frequency response of 38Hz to 22kHz (±3dB), the Alpha 80 Evo provides extended bass and is recommended for professionals who require high sound pressure levels (SPL) and deep low-end reproduction. 

    Connectivity and Control

    Bi-amplified Class-D design

    - The monitor features a bi-amplified design with high-current Class-D amplifiers that provide 80W for the low frequencies and 35W for the high frequencies, for a total of 115W.

    Multiple inputs

    - The rear panel includes three different input types—balanced XLR, balanced 1/4" TRS, and unbalanced RCA—which allows you to connect up to three audio sources at once

    Room tuning options

    - On the rear panel, you can adjust the sound to your specific environment with dedicated controls:

    Low-frequency shelving

    - Adjusts the bass response (±6 dB from 0–250 Hz).

    High-frequency shelving

    - Adjusts the treble response (±3 dB from 4.5–35 kHz).

    Input sensitivity

    - A switch allows you to select between 0 dB and +6 dB.

    Switchable auto standby

    - An automatic standby mode, which can be disengaged via a switch, powers down the monitor after about 15 minutes of inactivity to save energy. 

    Construction and Design

    Durable cabinet

    - The Alpha 80 Evo is built with a 5/8-inch (15mm) thick MDF cabinet with internal bracing, which ensures high durability even at high sound pressure levels.

    Wall mounting inserts

    - Inserts are included for wall and ceiling fastening, allowing for flexible placement options.

    Protective grilles

    - The monitor includes protective grilles for both the tweeter and woofer
