Introducing the Diva Mezza Utopia Wireless Active Speaker by Focal: Wireless audio innovation.
Focal, a renowned audio equipment manufacturer, has announced the release of a new product, the Diva Mezza Utopia, in its Diva Utopia line. This wireless speaker system is designed to provide a comprehensive and immersive audio experience without the need for separate components like amplifiers or DACs.
## Key Features and Specifications
The Diva Mezza Utopia boasts an impressive acoustic design, featuring four 8-inch "W" cone woofers, which are 4 cm larger than those in the Diva Utopia. This push-push layout generates deep, dynamic, and controlled bass. The system also includes an "M"-shaped Beryllium tweeter and "W" cone midrange drivers, contributing to a wide and articulate soundstage.
Each speaker is self-powered with 500 watts of amplification, utilizing a dual-stage power supply for precise power management across the frequency range. The system integrates a completely re-engineered Naim Audio electronics package.
## Wireless Connectivity
The Diva Mezza Utopia offers extensive wireless connectivity options, including Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and UPnP. It also features Ultra Wideband (UWB) for uncompressed, high-resolution wireless signal transmission, offering clarity similar to a wired connection. A direct wired connection is also available for studio-grade resolution at 192kHz/24-bit.
## Additional Technologies
The Diva Mezza Utopia benefits from Focal & Naim's advanced technologies. Intelligent Dynamics Clocking (IDC) ensures precise synchronization between channels for a coherent soundstage, while ADAPT (Adaptive Acoustic Personal Tuning) Technology uses algorithms to calibrate the system to both room acoustics and user preferences.
## Pricing and Availability
The Diva Mezza Utopia is priced at approximately $69,000 USD (or $97,249 CAD) and is available exclusively through Focal Powered by Naim retailers. It is designed to perform well in rooms up to 100 square meters.
## Compatibility
The Diva Mezza Utopia is compatible with smart home platforms like Control4, Crestron, Savant, and RTI. It also supports access to streaming services such as Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz Connect, and QQ Music (China).
The Diva Mezza Utopia's body is crafted from high-density polymer using a low-pressure molding process, and it features signature floating side panels made from felt in a new ivory hue. This high-end, all-in-one wireless speaker system is set to be available from July.
In addition to its high-end wireless speaker system, Focal also plans to introduce smart-home compatibility with the Diva Mezza Utopia.
