Key points
Beryllium inverted dome tweeter: The tweeter 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,
damping and rigidity, to provide a silky, detailed and precise treble. Tweeter included in ICW8 and ICW10 products.
Speaker driver with Fiber IP cone: All cones in the speaker drivers from the 1000 Series range are made using Fiber IP
sandwich technology. IP Fibre is a non-woven, glass fibre cone. The sandwich layers increase damping and make the products
from the 1000 Series very versatile. The co-moulded Santoprène® surround of the speaker driver ensures reliability in harsh
environments and long-term stability.
Protection grille: Easy to fit and good integration. Does not rust.
Indoor/outdoor mode filtering: The performance of the speaker driver can be adapted depending on whether it is part of an
indoor or outdoor system. To do this, click a button on the rear panel of the speaker driver (fig. 3).
IP65 certification: The product is fully sealed against the ingress of dust and is protected against water jets.
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.
It is recommended to use an amplifier that delivers 20% more power than the system's total power to avoid a surge or
damage to the products. Your retailer will guide you depending on your tastes and budget. Ensure that you follow the
recommendations for your amplifier in order to correctly connect each 1000 Series product.
Loudspeaker positioning
The loudspeakers in the 1000 Series range have been developed to deliver the most faithful sound reproduction for any style
of music. Nonetheless, a few simple rules should be followed to optimise their performance and to guarantee good tonal
balance and a realistic sound image.
For the purposes of improvement or to take into account any legal or regulatory changes, FOCAL-JMLab reserves the right to modify the
technical specifications of its products without prior notice. Where applicable, the images shown are intended for illustration purposes only,
