Key points
Pure Beryllium inverted dome tweeter: the tweeter developed for the 1000 Series range of products uses Focal's exclusive
inverse dome technology, which enables optimum transfer of energy and limited directionality. The dome's beryllium
guarantees exceptional performance in terms of lightness, dampening and rigidity, to provide a silky, detailed and precise treble.
'W'-membrane speaker drivers: the membrane of the 1000 Series speaker drivers is made in France with Focal's exclusive
'W' technology. The 'W' composite sandwich technology enables a rich, precise mid-range and distortion-free bass.
Protective grille with magnetic attachment: easy to install, improved integration.
Optimum Directivity Crossover (ODC): optimised directivity for a more homogeneous sound, especially when listening to the
products off-axis. Suppression of 'shower' effect for in-ceiling products.
Assembly kit (optional): for mounting in a partition during construction.
Fire rated back can (optional): ensures that the products comply with anti-fire standards (UL2043). Increases the performance of
the product by providing a rear acoustic volume (1000 ICW6 only).
For On Wall configuration: wall frame available as an option for 1000 IW6 and 1000 IWLCR6.
Automatically resettable current protection: thermal protection of the product during sharp temperature rises.
Protection au courant réarmable automatiquement : mise en protection thermique du produit lors de fortes montées en température.
Running-in period
The speaker drivers used in the Integration 1000 Series loudspeakers are complex mechanical assemblies which need a break-in
period to operate at their best and to become acclimatised to the temperature and humidity of your environment. This break-in
period varies depending on the conditions in question and may take several weeks. To reduce this time, you can operate your
loudspeakers for about twenty consecutive hours at a moderate volume. Once the loudspeakers' characteristics have totally
stabilised you will be able to enjoy your Integration 1000 Series loudspeakers' performance to the full.
Pre-installation wiring
You can only install your speakers once you have wired them up. Make sure you leave enough cable length to be able to connect
your product with ease (approximately 19
speaker drivers is respected (+/-). Choose good quality cables with a cross-section appropriate for their length: your dealer will be
able to advise you.
Choosing an amplifier
It is not an excess of amplifier power that can damage your loudspeaker and drivers, but rather a lack of power. In fact, if the volume
is too high, the amplifier saturates and generates parasite signals that may destroy the tweeter. The dynamic capacity and definition
of Integration 1000 Series loudspeakers are high enough to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of whatever amplifier is connected
to them. Your dealer will be able to guide your choice to suit your tastes and budget.
