Key points
Aluminium inverted dome tweeter: the tweeter developed for the 100-T Series range of products uses Focal's exclusive
inverse dome technology, which enables optimum transfer of energy and limited directivity. The dome's aluminium
guarantees exceptional performance in terms of lightness and dampening, to provide a silky and dynamic treble.
Polyglass® speaker driver cones: the speaker driver cone of the 100 Series range is made using Polyglass® technology.
The glass beads added to the front panel of the cone stiffen its structure, thereby giving a rich mid-range coupled with a
distortion-free bass.
Protective aluminium grille: corrosion-resistant grille, rotating logo for vertical or horizontal installation.
Damping cabinet: high-density polypropylene damping cabinet, with additional UV treatment.
Push spring terminal: accepts a large cross-section cable, comes with a silicone protector..
8 ohms impedance: possibility to connect 2 loudspeakers to the same amplifier output..
IP66 certification: the loudspeakers are highly resistant to dust and water splash in all directions..
Finishes: the 100-T Series range of outdoor loudspeakers are available in a ready-to-paint finish in black or white (grille/
cabinet/bracket)..
Transformer setting: outdoor 100-T Series loudspeakers have a transformer setting for 70/100V and 8 ohms use.
Choosing an amplifier
In an 8 ohms configuration:
It is not an excess of amplifier power that is likely to damage speaker drivers, but rather a lack of power: in
the latter case, if the sound level is too high, the amplifier saturates and generates parasite signals that may
damage the speaker drivers. The dynamic capacity and definition of the 100-T Series loudspeakers range
are high enough to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of whatever amplifier is connected to them. Your
dealer will be able to guide you, depending on your decision criteria (for example: taste, budget, etc.).
In a 70V/100V Amplifier configuration:
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 100-T Series products.
An amplifier used at full power, combined with a 100V transformer, can deliver dangerous voltages. Ensure
that you always disconnect the power from the amplifier and the transformer before handling, to avoid any
risk of electric shock. Deciding on location and installation is the customer's sole responsibility. Focal is
therefore not liable in any capacity whatsoever in the event of incident, accident and/or any other result or
damage of any kind related to the installation of loudspeakers.
Ensure that you follow the recommendations for your amplifier in order to correctly connect each loudspeaker.
