Focal Pro Solo6 Be – Active 2-Way Professional Studio Monitor
The Focal Pro Solo6 Be is a compact active 2-way professional nearfield studio monitor from Focal's SM6 generation. It combines a 6.5-inch Focal "W" composite sandwich-cone woofer with a pure Beryllium inverted-dome tweeter, individually powered by 150W RMS BASH and 100W RMS Class-AB amplification. With a wide 40Hz–40kHz frequency response, 113dB peak SPL, balanced XLR connectivity and adjustable LF/HF level controls, the Solo6 Be is designed for critical recording, mixing, mastering and professional monitoring applications.
Key Features
-
Active 2-Way Studio Monitor: Integrated amplification eliminates the need for an external power amplifier.
-
6.5" Focal "W" Woofer: Composite sandwich-cone driver is engineered for controlled bass, neutral midrange reproduction and low coloration.
-
Pure Beryllium Inverted-Dome Tweeter: Provides extended high-frequency response, low directivity and detailed transient reproduction.
-
40Hz – 40kHz Frequency Response: Wide operating bandwidth provides substantial bass extension and extended high-frequency reproduction.
-
113dB Maximum SPL: High peak output capability supports demanding professional monitoring applications.
-
250W Total Amplification: Dedicated 150W RMS low-frequency and 100W RMS high-frequency amplifier stages provide independent driver control.
-
BASH® LF Amplification: The bass/midrange driver is powered by a 150W RMS BASH amplifier stage.
-
Class-AB HF Amplification: The Beryllium tweeter is powered by a dedicated 100W RMS Class-AB amplifier.
-
Balanced XLR Input: Professional electronically balanced analogue input provides integration with audio interfaces, mixers and monitor controllers.
-
Selectable Input Sensitivity: +4dBu and -10dBV settings allow level matching with different source equipment.
-
LF Level Adjustment: Rear-panel low-frequency control allows response adjustment according to placement and room acoustics.
-
HF Level Adjustment: Tweeter level control allows high-frequency balance to be adjusted for the monitoring environment.
-
Front Laminar Bass Port: Front-facing reflex loading assists low-frequency extension and provides flexible studio placement.
-
Magnetic Shielding: Integrated shielding reduces magnetic interaction with nearby equipment.
-
Rigid MDF Cabinet: 19mm MDF construction with internal bracing helps minimise unwanted cabinet resonance.

System Integration
The Focal Pro Solo6 Be is an active studio monitor with dedicated amplification built directly into the enclosure, so an external power amplifier is not required. A professional audio interface, mixer, monitor controller, preamplifier or DAC with a suitable balanced analogue output can connect directly to its XLR input. The selectable +4dBu and -10dBV input sensitivity settings provide compatibility with different source levels, while the adjustable LF and HF controls allow the monitor's tonal balance to be adapted to room acoustics and placement. For conventional stereo monitoring, two Solo6 Be monitors are required, with one monitor connected to the left channel and the other to the right channel.
