Focal is ready to make a comeback in India. WHF (India) visits the HQ to get more insights into the brand
Undeniably French, Focal is a global brand of epic proportions. At least in the hi-fi sense of the word. It has a strong presence in virtually every sphere of sound – car audio, home audio, portable audio and the professional studio market. Few, if any audio brands can boast of such a portfolio and Focal proudly manufactures most of its product range still in France and doesn’t mind showing it off. Situated in Saint Etienne, a quite town about an hour outside of Lyon, the Focal facility is a sprawling campus that boasts of manufacturing, research, executive offices and warehousing all under the same roof. They of course have other locations that make and store too, but this is where the engineers dream up the loudspeakers and headphones that we’re about to get familiar with.
