Thank you for purchasing a Focal product. Welcome to our High-Fidelity world. Innovation, tradition,
excellence and pleasure are our values; our one and only aim is to bring you a sound that is rich, pure and
true. To get the most out of your product, we recommend that you read the instructions in this booklet,
then store it in a safe place to refer to in the future.
Handling (fig. A)
The Theva loudspeakers have sharp corners.
Take care not to injure yourself when handling them.
Grilles (fig. B)
The Theva loudspeakers are supplied with grilles to protect the speaker drivers. They are easy to fit or
remove thanks to their magnetic attachment system.
We advise removing them when you are listening to music to get the best performance from your
loudspeakers.
Connections (fig. C)
Theva connectors provide reliable, multi-purpose contacts for stripped cables (up to 3/16" - 4mm
diameter), fork terminals or banana connectors. It is imperative that you respect the polarity of the
loudspeakers. The connector marked "+" must be connected to the positive output on the amplifier, and
the connector marked "-" must be connected to the negative terminal. Stereo image and bass perception
will be seriously compromised if these conditions are not respected. Choose good quality cables with a
cross-section appropriate for their length: your dealer will be able to advise you.
Recommendations for use
The way the loudspeakers behave depends on the room's acoustics, the correct positioning of the
loudspeakers within the room and the listener's location.
You can tweak each of these elements to correct or improve a desired effect.
The sound is harsh, aggressive: your room's acoustics are probably too reverberant. Consider using
sound-absorbing materials (rugs, sofa, wall coverings, curtains, etc.) and sound-reflecting materials
(furniture) to absorb or diffuse resonance.
The sound is "flat", strangled: there are too many sound-absorbing materials in the room; the sound is
soaked up and has no depth. Aim for a better balance between the absorbent and reflective materials
within your room.
Our policy of continual product improvement means that Focal-JMlab reserves the right to modify the technical specifications
of its products without notice. Product may vary from images.
