Focal Pro Alpha Twin Evo – Active 2.5-Way Professional Studio Monitor
The Focal Pro Alpha Twin Evo is an active 2.5-way professional studio monitor designed for recording, mixing, mastering, broadcast and critical monitoring applications. Its horizontal configuration combines two 6.5-inch Slatefiber drivers with a 1-inch aluminium inverted-dome tweeter, while dedicated Class-D amplification provides 130W of total power. With a frequency response of 38Hz–22kHz, maximum SPL of 108dB and balanced XLR/TRS plus unbalanced RCA connectivity, the Alpha Twin Evo provides high output capability, neutral tonal balance, precise imaging and wide dispersion for demanding studio environments.
Key Features
-
2.5-Way Active Design: Twin 6.5-inch Slatefiber drivers and a dedicated aluminium inverted-dome tweeter provide extended bandwidth and high output from a compact horizontal enclosure.
-
Dual 6.5" Slatefiber Drivers: Focal's proprietary Slatefiber cones combine rigidity, damping and low mass for controlled low frequencies and detailed midrange reproduction.
-
Selectable Midrange Driver: A rear-panel switch determines which of the two 6.5-inch drivers reproduces the midrange frequencies.
-
1" Aluminium Inverted-Dome Tweeter: Provides detailed high-frequency reproduction with wide horizontal dispersion and low directivity.
-
130W Total Class-D Amplification: Two 50W low/mid-frequency amplifier sections and a 30W high-frequency amplifier provide dynamic signal control.
-
38Hz – 22kHz Frequency Response: Wide bandwidth provides substantial low-frequency extension together with detailed high-frequency reproduction.
-
108dB Maximum SPL: High peak output capability supports demanding professional monitoring environments.
-
Horizontal Monitor Configuration: Designed specifically for horizontal positioning in stereo monitoring installations.
-
Flexible Left/Right Placement: The selectable midrange driver allows the acoustic configuration to be optimised for left- and right-channel placement.
-
Balanced XLR Input: Professional balanced connectivity for audio interfaces, mixers, monitor controllers and preamplifiers.
-
Balanced TRS Input: Additional professional balanced analogue connection through a 1/4-inch TRS socket.
-
Unbalanced RCA Input: Provides compatibility with suitable consumer and semi-professional analogue sources.
-
LF Shelving Control: Low-frequency level can be adjusted by ±6dB to compensate for room acoustics and placement.
-
HF Shelving Control: High-frequency level can be adjusted by ±3dB for tonal optimisation.
-
Switchable Auto Standby: Automatic sleep functionality can be enabled or disabled according to studio workflow.
-
Wide Sweet Spot: Focal's inverted-dome tweeter and waveguide help maintain consistent tonal balance and stereo imaging across a broad listening area.

System Integration
The Focal Pro Alpha Twin Evo is an active studio monitor, so no external power amplifier is required. A professional audio interface, mixer, monitor controller, preamplifier or DAC with variable analogue output can connect directly through balanced XLR or TRS, while the RCA input supports compatible unbalanced sources. For stereo monitoring, two Alpha Twin Evo monitors are required. The monitors are designed for horizontal placement, and the rear-panel midrange selector determines which 6.5-inch driver handles the midrange frequencies. Focal recommends positioning the active midrange driver toward the inside of the stereo pair: the right driver for the left monitor and the left driver for the right monitor.
