FOCAL Utopia Car Audio Collection Launch in the Middle East

On 26th September, 2012, FOCAL JMLAB, the renowned French high-end speaker manufacturer, launched its top-of-the-range Utopia Car Audio collection in the Middle East. Good Ideas FZE, the regional distributor for the brand, has partnered with Yellow Hat for the exclusive introduction of Utopia, considered the ‘Haute Couture’ of the audio world.

Partnership with Yellow Hat Japan

In collaboration with Yellow Hat Japan for retail and installation, FOCAL now offers U.A.E. drivers the opportunity to enjoy audiophile-grade music in their vehicles.

Utopia Technology and Features

Utopia is manufactured by FOCAL in France, utilizing advanced and patented technologies to deliver a unique, clear, and dynamic sound experience:

• Beryllium (Be) tweeter: 100 times the price of gold, Beryllium provides an incredibly wide frequency range with high efficiencies unmatched by any existing technology, including Diamond.
• ‘W’ Cone membrane for woofers: A superlight material that outperforms all others in rigidity.
• Multiferrite magnets: Allowing subwoofers to handle more power, enabling them to play substantially louder and for longer periods.

Together with FOCAL Power Symmetric amplifiers, FOCAL cabling, and FOCAL soundproofing material, the Utopia range delivers music as you have never experienced it before in your vehicle.

Importance of Quality Installation

Car audio is complex and requires high expertise to achieve the desired sound quality results. This complexity arises from the low volume of car interiors, combined with acoustically challenging panel materials and construction (windows, doors, etc.).

Key Aspects of Installation

• Quality Installation: All directly exposed parts of the vehicle must be acoustically treated to maximize the potential of FOCAL Utopia technologies. Sound dampening and box sealing are essential for the Utopia Be high-grade components to produce the best musical reproduction.
• Design/Integration: The car's original interior design and materials must be respected to achieve a perfect blend.
• Expert Tuning: This is arguably the most delicate part due to the low volume of vehicle interiors and reflecting panels (mostly glass and metal). Each car requires individual adjustments of crossover, slopes, and gain.

Exclusive Partnership for Utopia Launch

For the launch of Utopia Car Audio in the Middle East, FOCAL has partnered with Yellow Hat, which will provide retail sales and installation exclusively for U.A.E. motorists. Thanks to its trained experts, Yellow Hat offers ‘FOCAL-approved’ installation services for the entire Utopia range.

Finally, the technology fades into the background, and The Spirit of Sound comes to life…

Happy motoring and enjoy your ride with FOCAL Utopia and Yellow Hat.
