Review Summary
The CMS line is particularly destined for post-production studios, small listening rooms, radio studios and home studios. The choice of an aluminum smelting cabinet enables ultra-compact tools, with an impressive result in the bass.
For All Your Monitoring Needs
All these CMS monitoring loudspeakers, through their compact design and their large front laminar port, can be installed near a wall without the risk of exaggeration or loss of control of the bass register. They are equipped with various settings.
Technological Choices
The monitors are equipped with the Focal technology, such as the aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter and the Polyglass cone woofer; guaranteeing neutrality, dynamics, detail and precision of the sound image.
Full Integration
Thanks to the accessories supplied, acoustical integration is even more efficient. Thanks to the electronic processing, the 6dB difference observed between the XLR and RCA inputs has been fully compensated for. This gives you a listening level which is always identical for consistent recordings.
The monitor CMS 40 is the most compact monitor of the Focal Professional range. Its size/extended bass frequency ratio ensures excellent versatility. This monitor guarantees ultra-realistic voicing, whilst offering optimum acoustic integration in a small room. Its design permits a listening position from 16" (40 cm), even in the least advantageous locations (ex. proximity to reverberating surfaces).
The CMS 40 is the perfect tool for post-production and home studios And even in the biggest and best studios, it proves to be an excellent second monitoring system, allowing one to quickly check how the mix translates onto smaller speakers. Studio monitor nominated for the TEC Awards 2010.
Bi-Amplification
The CMS 40 is packed with Focal technologies 100% Made in France, such as the aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter and the Polyglass cone woofer; both guarantees of neutrality, dynamics, detail, width and precision of the soundstage. Focal's research and development team also opted for bi-amplification (2x 25W RMS AB class), which combine low distortion and dynamics. Finally, the CMS 40 features numerous settings to suit the acoustic constraints of small monitoring rooms.
Unrivalled Precision and Neutrality
The sound of the CMS 40 fully conveys Focal's expertise in the development and manufacture of speaker drivers and loudspeakers. With its wide, deep and precise soundstage, the CMS 40 gives sound engineers complete control of their work. The overall dynamics provide total control over signal compression. The intelligibility of transients ensures the reproduction of all the micro-information. Finally, the neutrality and tonal balance guarantee remarkable transfer quality.
