Focal Enhances Iconic Loudspeaker Line with Scala Utopia Evo M
Experience the refined sound of Focal’s Scala Utopia Evo M featuring the latest PRISM tweeter and M-profile midrange technology.
A New Chapter in Focal’s Legendary Utopia Series
If you’ve ever been enchanted by the rich tones and crystal-clear highs of Focal Scala Utopia Evo M loudspeaker, the Scala Utopia Evo M is about to steal your heart all over again. This latest addition to the iconic Utopia family is not just an upgrade—it’s a full embrace of cutting-edge sound technology wrapped in French craftsmanship. From the moment you hear the first note, you realize this is no ordinary loudspeaker.

Revolutionary Drivers for Unmatched Clarity
The Scala Utopia Evo M proudly preserves the three-way architecture that made the original model a legend. However, Focal has injected fresh engineering magic from its most advanced speaker innovations. The crown jewel here is the M-profile midrange driver loudspeaker, borrowed directly from the professional-grade Utopia Main range.
This midrange uses a sandwich-structured W cone combined with a one-piece M-profile geometry. The result? Exceptional rigidity and an ultra-linear frequency response that translates to a midrange sound that’s stunningly transparent, precise, and natural. The difference is palpable—think of it like upgrading from a vintage camera to the latest digital model: everything is sharper, cleaner, and more lifelike.
PRISM Tweeter: A High-Frequency Marvel
To complement the midrange, Focal introduces the PRISM tweeter loudspeaker to the Scala range for the first time—previously exclusive to the flagship Diva Alta Utopia. This tweeter employs a multi-material cone, crafted through an advanced micro-structuring process. Unlike traditional materials, this cone is stiffer than beryllium yet perfectly balanced for lightness and damping.
Combined with Focal’s Infinite Acoustic Loading technology, the PRISM tweeter delivers treble that’s unusually pure and detailed, extending further into the upper frequency ranges than earlier Utopia tweeters. Listening to it is like gazing at a crystal-clear night sky, where every star twinkles with precision.
Signature Technologies for Consistency and Power
Focal hasn’t stopped at drivers. The Scala Utopia Evo M retains the trusted TMD suspension system, which limits cone deformation and reduces distortion. This means you get dynamics that are vibrant but never harsh, and sound definition that stays intact across the frequency spectrum.
At the bass end, the W woofer has been completely redesigned. It utilizes a dual-ferrite motor to generate deep, powerful, and controlled bass that’s perfectly suited to today’s music styles. Whether you’re into booming electronic beats or classic rock grooves, this speaker can handle it all with grace.
Focal’s OPC+ Optimum Phase Crossover technology further refines the bass and treble balance. Alongside Gamma and Focus Time technologies, it guarantees stellar temporal consistency and mechanical stability—think of it as the conductor ensuring every instrument is in perfect sync, delivering a flawless symphony.
Crafted with French Excellence
One of the most charming aspects of the Scala Utopia Evo M is its authentic French heritage. Every speaker is built entirely in France, with cabinet artisans in Burgundy handcrafting the wooden enclosure. Meanwhile, Focal’s acoustic workshops in Saint-Étienne develop the drivers, ensuring that even their patented PRISM technology is in expert hands.
Finishing touches come in your choice of lacquer or elegant wood finishes, allowing the speaker to blend seamlessly with sophisticated interiors as much as it stands out as a centerpiece.
Pricing and Availability
For those dreaming of owning the Scala Utopia Evo M, Focal has set the price at approximately $46,000 per pair for the lacquered finish. The UK pricing is around £34,200, though a specific release date for the UK market hasn’t been confirmed yet. Expect this magnificent speaker to appear in select Focal Powered by Naim stores soon as part of their Utopia range launch.
"That linear response translates into a midrange that sounds significantly more transparent, precise and natural than the previous Scala Utopia." – Focal
