Focal Pro Shape 50 – Active 2-Way Studio Monitor
The Focal Pro Shape 50 is a compact active nearfield studio monitor designed for recording, mixing and professional music production. Featuring a 5-inch Flax cone woofer, 1-inch Aluminium-Magnesium M-profile tweeter, dual passive radiators and 85W of Class-AB amplification, it delivers precise bass, neutral midrange and detailed high-frequency reproduction. Its ventless cabinet allows flexible positioning, including placement close to a wall.
Key Features
-
5" Flax Cone Woofer: Focal's Flax membrane combines lightness, rigidity and damping for articulate bass and natural midrange reproduction.
-
1" Aluminium-Magnesium M-Profile Tweeter: Provides precise high-frequency reproduction with low directivity and a wide listening area.
-
85W Class-AB Amplification: A 60W amplifier powers the low/mid-frequency driver while a dedicated 25W amplifier drives the tweeter.
-
50Hz – 35kHz Frequency Response: Provides extended high-frequency performance and controlled bass from a compact nearfield monitor.
-
106dB Maximum SPL: Offers substantial dynamic capability for professional monitoring applications.
-
Dual Passive Radiators: Extends low-frequency response without a conventional bass-reflex port, allowing the monitor to be positioned close to a wall.
-
TMD® Suspension: Tuned Mass Damper technology helps control unwanted suspension behaviour for greater midrange neutrality.
-
NIC Technology: Neutral Inductance Circuit technology helps stabilise the magnetic field for improved definition and precision.
-
Extensive Room Controls: High-pass filtering plus LF, low-mid and HF adjustments allow the response to be adapted to room acoustics and speaker placement.
-
Flexible Connectivity: Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs provide straightforward integration with professional and compatible consumer audio equipment.
-
Flexible Installation: Rear and underside mounting inserts support installation on compatible table stands, microphone stands, wall mounts or ceiling mounts.

Studio Integration
The Shape 50 is designed for nearfield monitoring and can be used from a listening distance of approximately 80cm. Its compact, ventless construction and dual passive radiators make it particularly useful in smaller studios where monitors may need to be positioned close to a wall. XLR and RCA inputs provide professional and unbalanced connectivity, while the onboard acoustic controls allow adjustment for different room conditions.
