The Aria CC 900 centre speaker is part of the Aria 900 high fidelity speaker range. The 900 range feature speaker drivers with Flax sandwich cones, TNF aluminium and magnesium inverted dome tweeters with Poron suspension, injected zamak baskets, carefully designed cabinets and crossovers. Focal have spared nothing to ensure that owners enjoy maximum listening pleasure.
The Aria CC 900 2-way centre speaker can be easily combined with any of the front speakers in the Aria range. The CC 900 was developed with particular attention to timber matching in order to obtain sonic coherence for all kinds of configurations. It is recommended for rooms measuring from 215ft2 (20m2 ) and for a listening distance of 10ft (3m).
The Aria range is vast, enabling a huge array of Home Cinema configurations to match, among others, the size of the listening room. The CC 900 centre speaker is the keystone of the system. It needs to bring precision and consistency between the visual image and the sound stage. The Flax sandwich membrane's contribution to definition is marvellously apparent, with voices that have both intelligibility and depth.
TNF Tweeter
For the TNF tweeter, Focal have brought two major evolutions to their aluminium/magnesium tweeter. The suspension between the dome and its bracket uses Poron, a material with shape memory. The inverted dome's spatial characteristics and very low directivity already make it greatly superior. The frequency response has a variance of +/- 0.5 dB. This performance guarantees an incredibly stable sound stage which makes the listening position much less critical.
Flax Cone
Focal cones are made of high-quality flax fibres core enclosed by two thin layers of glass fibre. They satisfy the key criteria of a high performance diaphragm high internal damping, high velocity of sound and high flexural rigidity. The cones are characterised by their natural sound, with low colouration, their richness of reproduction in the midrange register and their tighter bass.
Sandwich Technology
Flax is twice as light as fibre glass, because the fibre is hollow. It is aesthetically beautiful and also has very low elasticity which makes it ideal to increase the flexural rigidity of a sandwich structure. Moreover, it can be obtained in non-woven bundles of considerable diameter and it can therefore produce the thickness required for a sandwich.
Aria Design
Aria has been conceived as an elegant piece of home furnishing; simple, with great stature, quality materials and soft shapes which capture the light and resist the passage of time. The glass on its upper face for strength, the leather finish to its front face for its absorbent and acoustic diffraction qualities.
