Uncompromising acoustic architecture

The Focal Diva Mezza Utopia connected hi-fi speaker has a 3-way design. It inherits the 1″ pure beryllium “M” profile inverted dome tweeter that made the Focal Grande Utopia so successful, and combines it with a 6.5″ “W” cone midbass driver and four 8″ woofers in a push-push configuration.

This architecture guarantees a powerful yet balanced sound reproduction: high frequencies unfold with finesse, the midrange retains all its richness and the bass gains in impact and articulation. The frequency response extends from 25Hz to 40kHz, enabling a full reproduction of the musical spectrum in spaces of up to 100m².

Naim amplification

Each Focal Diva Mezza Utopia speaker features 500-watt class AB amplification, distributed over three amplifiers dedicated to each register. Developed by Naim Audio, who selected all components with the utmost care, these amplifiers guarantee a faithful reproduction of the slightest musical nuances. This approach ensures good dynamics and sonic coherence, even at high volume.

State-of-the-art wireless connectivity

The Diva Mezza Utopia adopts the French manufacturer’s UWB (Ultra Wideband) technology, ensuring lossless, uncompressed transmission with imperceptible latency between the two speakers. This wireless connection operates at 96kHz/24-bit, and can reach 192kHz/24-bit via the included high-resolution cable. The system is based on the Naim Pulse Platform, which manages streaming, multi-room connectivity and compatibility with the main online music services.

As for streaming, there’s compatibility with Spotify, Qobuz and Tidal streaming services, as well as access to web radios and music shared over the local network.
