Focal Pro Alpha 65 Evo – Active 2-Way Professional Studio Monitor
The Focal Pro Alpha 65 Evo is an active 2-way professional studio monitor designed for recording, mixing, mastering and music-production environments. It combines a 6.5-inch Slatefiber woofer with a 1-inch aluminium inverted-dome tweeter, dual Class-D amplification and a bass-reflex enclosure. With a frequency response of 40Hz–22kHz, maximum SPL of 104dB and professional XLR, TRS and RCA connectivity, the Alpha 65 Evo delivers neutral tonal balance, strong dynamics, wide dispersion and consistent monitoring across the listening area.
Key Features

System Integration
The Focal Pro Alpha 65 Evo is an active studio monitor with dedicated amplification built into each cabinet, so an external power amplifier is not 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 accommodates compatible unbalanced sources. For conventional stereo monitoring, two Alpha 65 Evo monitors are required, with one monitor assigned to the left channel and the other to the right channel. LF and HF shelving controls allow the monitors to be adjusted according to room acoustics, placement and listening conditions.
