Focal Pro Solo6 – Active 2-Way Studio Monitor
The Focal Pro Solo6 is a professional 2-way active studio monitor from the ST6 range, designed for recording, mixing, mastering and immersive audio applications. It combines a 6.5-inch W-cone woofer with a 1-inch pure Beryllium inverted-dome tweeter, TMD® suspension technology and switchable Focus Mode for precise, transparent monitoring in professional studio environments.
Key Features
-
6.5" W-Cone Woofer: Focal's W sandwich-cone technology combines lightness, rigidity and damping for precise bass and midrange reproduction.
-
1" Pure Beryllium Tweeter: The inverted-dome tweeter delivers detailed and extended high-frequency reproduction up to 40kHz.
-
TMD® Suspension: Tuned Mass Damper technology helps reduce distortion and improve midrange neutrality.
-
130W Bi-Amplification: An 80W Class-G amplifier powers the woofer, while a dedicated 50W Class-AB amplifier drives the tweeter.
-
Focus Mode: Switches the Solo6 from normal 2-way operation to a 1-way monitoring mode using only the woofer, providing an alternative reference for checking mix translation.
-
110dB Maximum SPL: Provides strong dynamic capability for professional nearfield monitoring.
-
Room Adjustment Controls: High-pass filtering and LF, low-mid and HF adjustments allow the response to be adapted to room acoustics and placement.
-
Balanced XLR Input: Provides professional analogue connectivity for audio interfaces, mixing consoles and monitor controllers.
-
Automatic Standby: Disengageable auto-standby functionality supports convenient studio operation.
-
Immersive Audio Ready: Integrated mounting inserts allow compatible wall and ceiling installation for Dolby Atmos® and Sony 360RA® systems.

Focus Mode
Focus Mode converts the Solo6 from its normal 2-way configuration into a 1-way monitor using only the woofer, with a frequency response of 110Hz to 10kHz. This provides a second monitoring reference from the same speaker, allowing engineers to evaluate how a mix translates to systems with more limited bandwidth.
Studio Integration
The Solo6 is designed for professional nearfield monitoring and connects through a balanced XLR input. Its high-pass filter and adjustable LF, low-mid and HF controls help compensate for different room acoustics, desk reflections and speaker positions. Mounting inserts also make it suitable for multichannel and immersive studio installations.
Ideal Applications
- Professional recording and mixing studios
- Music production and mastering
- Critical nearfield monitoring
- Broadcast and post-production
- Dolby Atmos® and immersive audio installations
