Focal has unveiled the Scala Utopia Evo M, an evolution of an iconic model in the Utopia range. Made in France, this hi-fi speaker incorporates two key innovations — the PRISM tweeter and the M-profile W midrange.
The Scala Utopia Evo M adopts the M-profile midrange from the Utopia Main professional range. It combines a W cone with sandwich structure and a one-piece M-profile geometry. This combination guarantees exceptional rigidity, ultra-linear frequency response, and low distortion. The midrange register is significantly more transparent, precise and natural.
In another development, the PRISM tweeter — recently introduced on the Diva Alta Utopia — makes its debut on the Scala. This new generation of high-frequency cone, based on a multi-material combination and an advanced micro-structuring process, achieves a higher level of rigidity than beryllium, while maintaining an optimum balance between lightness and damping. Coupled with IAL2 (Infinite Acoustic Loading) technology, it delivers treble reproduction of unprecedented purity, finesse and extension.
The Scala Utopia Evo M is an amalgamation of tried-and-tested Focal technologies that contribute to the overall balance and coherence of the speaker. TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) suspension limits cone deformation and reduces distortion, thereby preserving dynamics and sound definition. The W woofer, which has been completely redesigned, incorporates a dual-ferrite motor to deliver powerful, deep, controlled bass, in tune with today’s musical demands. To these features are added OPC+ (Optimum Phase Crossover), allowing precise adjustment of bass and treble to suit the listening environment, as well as Gamma and Focus Time technologies, guaranteeing exemplary temporal consistency and mechanical stability. The overall result is even more faithful and dynamic reproduction, capable of revealing the full richness of the most demanding recordings.
The wooden cabinet is made by the brand’s cabinetmakers in Burgundy, combining precision craftsmanship with exacting acoustic standards, while the drivers are manufactured at its acoustic workshops in Saint-Étienne. Its patented technologies also originated in France, including the most recent: PRISM. This complete control of the production chain enables Focal to continually innovate and develop its models over time, with a constant focus on performance.
The Scala Utopia Evo M will be available beginning August 2026 in five premium finishes. Black High Gloss, Off White High Gloss, and Warm Taupe High Gloss are priced at $50,000 USD ($58,000 CAD), while Light Walnut with an Off-White front panel and Dark Walnut with a Sepia Brown front panel are available for $56,000 USD ($64,000 CAD).
