Focal Pro Trio11 Be

Focal Pro Trio11 Be – Active 3-Way Studio Monitor

The Focal Pro Trio11 Be is a flagship active studio monitor from Focal's SM6 range, engineered for demanding recording, mixing and mastering environments. It combines an 11-inch W-cone subwoofer, a 5-inch W-cone midrange driver and a 1-inch pure Beryllium inverted-dome tweeter with powerful Class-G and Class-AB amplification. Its switchable Focus Mode effectively provides two monitoring configurations in one enclosure, making the Trio11 Be suitable for both nearfield and midfield monitoring.

Key Features

• 3-Way Active Architecture: Dedicated bass, midrange and high-frequency drivers provide full-spectrum monitoring with high output and precise stereo imaging.
• 11" W-Cone Subwoofer: Delivers deep, controlled low-frequency reproduction with high excursion and substantial power handling.
• 5" W-Cone Midrange Driver: Focal's composite W-cone technology provides detailed, neutral midrange reproduction with low distortion.
• 1" Pure Beryllium Tweeter: The inverted-dome tweeter provides extended and highly detailed high-frequency reproduction up to 40kHz.
• 550W Total Amplification: A 300W Class-G amplifier powers the bass driver, 150W Class-G drives the midrange and 100W Class-AB powers the tweeter.
• 30Hz – 40kHz Frequency Response: Full 3-way operation provides wide-band monitoring for critical studio work.
• 118dB Maximum SPL: High output capability makes the Trio11 Be suitable for both nearfield and midfield professional monitoring.
• Focus Mode: Switches the monitor from full 3-way operation to a 2-way configuration with a 90Hz – 20kHz response, allowing engineers to check how a mix translates to a more bandwidth-limited playback system.
• Footswitch Control: Focus Mode can be switched remotely using a compatible foot pedal, allowing quick A/B monitoring during a session.
• TMD® Suspension: Tuned Mass Damper technology helps control unwanted suspension behaviour for improved midrange neutrality.
• Rotatable Driver Plate: The midrange and tweeter assembly can be rotated in 90° steps, allowing the monitor to operate horizontally or vertically.
• Room Adjustment: Rear-panel bass, low-mid and treble controls help adapt the monitor to room acoustics and placement.
• Balanced XLR Input: Professional analogue connectivity provides straightforward integration with audio interfaces, consoles and monitor controllers.

Technical Specifications

Focus Mode

Focus Mode is one of the Trio11 Be's key monitoring tools. In standard operation, the monitor works as a full 3-way system with a 30Hz – 40kHz frequency response. Activating Focus Mode converts it to a 2-way monitoring configuration covering 90Hz – 20kHz, allowing engineers to evaluate mix translation on a system with reduced low-frequency extension without changing monitors.

Studio Integration

The Trio11 Be is designed for both nearfield and midfield monitoring. Its rotatable midrange/tweeter plate allows horizontal or vertical installation, while rear-panel acoustic controls provide adjustment for different room conditions. A balanced XLR input enables integration with professional audio interfaces, mixing consoles and monitor controllers.

Ideal Applications

• Professional recording studios
• Mixing and mastering
• Music production
• Nearfield and midfield monitoring
• Broadcast and post-production
• Critical listening and mix translation
