Focal - French Acoustic Excellence Since 1979
Focal stands as one of the world's most respected names in high-end audio, representing over four decades of French acoustic engineering excellence. Founded by Jacques Mahul in Saint-Étienne, France, Focal has consistently pushed the boundaries of transducer technology, earning recognition from audio professionals and enthusiasts worldwide. The company's commitment to vertical integration - designing and manufacturing their own drivers, cabinets, and components - ensures uncompromising quality control and innovative solutions that define the state of the art in acoustic reproduction.
Clear Mg - Revolutionary Magnesium Driver Technology
The Clear Mg represents Focal's groundbreaking advancement in headphone driver technology, featuring the world's first magnesium dome drivers in a consumer headphone. This revolutionary M-shaped magnesium cone delivers exceptional rigidity while remaining incredibly lightweight, resulting in pristine transient response and remarkable detail retrieval across the entire frequency spectrum. The Clear Mg builds upon the acclaimed Clear platform while introducing materials science innovations that push open-back headphone performance to new heights.
Exclusive M-Shaped Magnesium Dome Drivers - Unparalleled Precision
At the heart of the Clear Mg lies Focal's exclusive 40mm M-shaped magnesium dome driver, representing years of research into advanced materials and acoustic engineering. Magnesium offers the perfect combination of lightness and rigidity, providing 50% less weight than aluminum while maintaining superior stiffness characteristics. This revolutionary driver design eliminates the traditional compromises between transient response and tonal accuracy, delivering both lightning-fast dynamics and natural harmonic reproduction.
Magnesium Driver Advantages:
- Ultra-Light Construction: Exceptional transient response with minimal diaphragm mass
- Superior Rigidity: Eliminates cone breakup modes within the audio bandwidth
- Extended Frequency Response: Smooth response from 5Hz to 28kHz with remarkable linearity
- Low Distortion: Advanced materials and geometry minimize harmonic distortion
- Enhanced Dynamics: Lightning-fast response to musical transients and micro-details
Advanced Open-Back Acoustic Design
The Clear Mg's sophisticated open-back design creates an expansive, natural soundstage that places the listener directly in the recording environment. Focal's acoustic engineers have carefully optimized the rear chamber design to eliminate internal reflections while maintaining precise driver control, resulting in spacious imaging that rivals the best loudspeaker systems. The open-back configuration provides exceptional transparency and air while maintaining excellent driver damping for controlled bass response.
Open-Back Benefits:
- Natural Soundstage: Expansive, three-dimensional imaging that extends beyond the headphones
- Transparent Midrange: Uncolored reproduction that reveals subtle recording details
- Airy Treble: Extended high-frequency response without artificial emphasis
- Reduced Fatigue: Open design prevents pressure buildup for extended listening comfort
Premium Construction & Luxury Materials
French Craftsmanship: Each Clear Mg is meticulously assembled in Focal's French facility using premium materials selected for both acoustic performance and long-term durability. The sophisticated industrial design combines functional excellence with timeless aesthetic appeal that befits a reference-grade headphone.
Luxury Leather Headband: The premium brown leather headband features carefully engineered padding distribution that provides exceptional comfort during extended listening sessions while maintaining the secure positioning essential for consistent acoustic performance.
Precision Yoke System: The adjustable yoke mechanism utilizes precision-machined components with smooth, stepless adjustment that accommodates any head size while maintaining perfect driver alignment and seal consistency.
High-Quality Cables: Included premium cables feature high-purity copper conductors with low-capacitance design, ensuring transparent signal transmission from source to driver with minimal coloration or loss.
Professional-Grade Performance Characteristics
Reference-Level Accuracy: The Clear Mg delivers studio monitor-grade accuracy with natural tonal balance that reveals recordings exactly as intended by artists and engineers, making them ideal for both critical listening and professional applications.
Exceptional Detail Retrieval: The magnesium drivers' superior transient response reveals subtle musical details often masked by conventional driver materials, from the attack of individual notes to the acoustic character of recording spaces.
Dynamic Range Excellence: Outstanding capability with both intimate acoustic performances and full-scale orchestral works, maintaining composure and clarity regardless of musical complexity or dynamic demands.
Impedance Optimization: 55-ohm impedance provides excellent compatibility with both portable devices and high-end headphone amplifiers, scaling beautifully across a wide range of source equipment.
