Overview
Kanta N°3 is the reference product for the line: this Hi-Fi loudspeaker superbly combines depth, impact and articulation of the bass register. The definition and neutrality of the midrange are incredible. The next generation IAL tweeter reproduces the tiniest details with clinical precision. The result? A precise, detailed sound, brimming with warmth and musicality. It is the start of a new era for those who love sound…This acoustic masterpiece performs at its best in large rooms, from 430 to 860 ft² (40 to 80 m²).
Entirely dedicated to acoustic performance and with an incredibly original look: that, in a nutshell, is the Kanta DNA! After three years of research, Focal offers a new combination of exclusive Hi-Fi technologies: the marriage of Beryllium, in the next generation IAL3 tweeter, and Flax, for the midrange and bass speaker drivers.
Another strong point of the line is its bold look that puts the finishing touch on this acoustic masterpiece with a resolutely modern and bewitching design! With its front panel finishes, gloss or matt, there are several possible combinations. Different styles, each one so different from the next, means there’s something for everyone. Kanta has become a ultra stylish, designer object that will become the star of your interior.

A RARE AND PRECIOUS MATERIAL
Beryllium is so rigid that it is the only metal that can scratch glass. It’s the material of choice for tweeter diaphragms! Its price – it’s 50 times more expensive than gold – makes it a material to be reserved for the best expected acoustic renderings. Today, Beryllium tweeters are used in exceptional Focal products.
EXTENDED FREQUENCY RESPONSE TO 40 KHZ
After two years of research and development, Focal has achieved a world first with the shaping of an inverted dome in pure Beryllium capable of covering more than five octaves (1,000 Hz – 40,000 Hz). What’s the point of seeking an extended response to 40 kHz when the human ear hears down to 20,000 Hz? The more extended the frequency response at the top of the spectrum, the better the impulse response, and therefore the better the perception of transients and other micro-details. What’s more, the linearity of a loudspeaker’s response curve is primarily a function of the balance between three contradictory parameters: lightness, rigidity and damping.
INCREDIBLE ACOUSTIC CHARACTERISTICS
To date, only one material has made it possible to take a decisive step forward: beryllium. For domes of identical mass, Beryllium is 7 times stiffer than titanium or aluminum, materials which offer the same rigidity for equivalent mass. Sound also travels 3 times faster than in titanium and 2.5 times faster than in aluminum. All in all, the frequency response curve, acoustic transparency and impulse response of the Béryllium inverted dome tweeter are perfect, guaranteeing total control of the work to be done.
FLAX FIBRE, UNIQUE QUALITIES
The “F” membrane is a sandwich made from a core of high-quality flax fiber, embedded in two thin sheets of glass fibre. It meets all the criteria of a high-fidelity membrane: it’s light to deliver good dynamics, rigid to hold the bass, and damping to deliver a neutral, natural listening experience.
Rigidity
A “single-material” cone can’t perfectly meet all these criteria. Sandwich technology plays a very important role in the sonic neutrality of a membrane, a neutrality that has always been the signature of the Focal sound. Our mastery of sandwich technology on the Utopia and K2 Power ranges has enabled us to develop revolutionary “Flax” membranes that reconcile all 3 criteria.
Lightness
Flax fibre is twice as light as glass fibre, because it is a hollow fibre. It has very low elasticity, making it ideal for increasing the flexural modulus of a sandwich structure. What’s more, it can be obtained as a non-woven connector with a large diameter, providing the thickness and rigidity required for a sandwich.
Damping
Composite materials are the right choice for applications where stiffness and low mass are required. However, they are penalized by a lack of damping, leading to very poor vibration control. Recent developments combining composites and natural fibres offer unexpected opportunities. Flax fibre offers excellent internal damping on a par with glass fibre, Kevlar® or aluminium.
MADE IN FRANCE AND COMPETITIVE
Flax membranes are designed and manufactured in France, using French flax fibre. France is Europe’s leading producer of fibre flax, mainly in Flanders, Picardy, Normandy and Pas-de-Calais. French flax fibre is considered the best in the world.
Synthetic fibres or foams derived from petrochemical resources are subject to fluctuations in crude oil prices. Organic textiles or “ecotextiles”, like linen, are competitive…
What’s more, since the superlative “W” and “K2” sandwiches can only be made by hand, they can only be produced in limited numbers, for reasons of cost. The industrial process developed to produce the “F” sandwich makes this technology highly competitive.

THE TMD HARMONIC DAMPER
Following the discovery of these malfunctions, the challenge was to design a device that would enable them to be controlled. Known solutions for increasing surround damping lead to an increase in mass, which in turn affects definition. The answer was found in a technique used in anti-seismic systems for skyscrapers, and also found in the surrounds of racing vehicles! This is the Tuned Mass Damper technique: an additional mass oscillates in opposition to the resonance to control it.
Applied to the loudspeakers, the solution simply consists of two circular “beads” molded into the surround mass and judiciously sized and positioned. They constitute our harmonic damper (TMD) and stabilize the surround’s behavior at resonance to avoid cone deformation and not penalize dynamics. This innovation is patented.
