Encompassing three performance levels across 14 speakers, the Nice Premium Toolless series delivers a solution for nearly every architectural speaker application. The entire range boasts a suite of features including AccuAim tweeters for phase lock pivoting, XmaG extended pole pieces for improved symmetry, asymmetrical 2nd and 3rd order crossovers for optimized driver performance, and time-saving ViseLock designed by Swarm — the latest generation toolless system for rapid and secure installations.

Focal Utopia Cinema
Focal’s Utopia Cinema is designed for private cinema rooms of up to 2153 square feet. It includes one Cinema LCR 3-way loudspeaker and one Cinema SUB subwoofer. The Cinema LCR full-range, high SPL-capacity loudspeaker provides power and precision. The different crossover settings, such as the 0–30-degree selector, maximize the performance of each loudspeaker depending on its purpose (center, left, or right channel), while its speaker drivers offer outstanding treble, midrange and bass reproduction.
The new 1.5-inch “M”-shaped beryllium tweeter delivers an exceptional transient response and unique treble sound reproduction. The tweeter’s power handling is improved by a 1-inch coil and optimized heat dissipation. This speaker driver extends the ultra-high response with no distortion, while halving THD to 3 kHz thanks to TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) technology complete with a Poron surround. Lastly, its rear acoustic environment is fully optimized with a waveguide and IAL (Infinite Acoustic Load) technology.
Cinema SUB’s two 13-inch woofers guarantee maximum excursion and uncompromising bass control. Tuned to 19 Hz, it delivers a unique extension for a deep and striking bass, even in the most spacious cinema rooms.
Product will be available September 2025.
