Focal Diva Mezza Utopia: A High-End Active Wireless Speaker System for Audiophiles
The Focal Diva Mezza Utopia, a new flagship active wireless speaker system, has been unveiled, offering a more powerful and premium version of the Diva Utopia model for audiophiles seeking exceptional sound quality and advanced technology for large rooms.
This high-end speaker system boasts a staggering 500W of power per speaker, a 25% increase from the Utopia's 400W rating. The Diva Mezza Utopia is designed for rooms up to approximately 1076 sq ft (100m²) and is available for purchase today, exclusively from authorized stores in the Focal Powered by Naim network.
Key features and specifications of the Diva Mezza Utopia include:
- Driver configuration: Four 8-inch ‘W’ cone woofers arranged in a push-push configuration for deep, controlled bass and vibration cancellation. These woofers are 4 cm larger than the previous model’s 6.5-inch woofers. The system also features one dedicated 6.5-inch ‘W’ cone midrange driver and Focal’s signature beryllium tweeter with an M-shaped dome for high frequencies.
- Amplification and electronics: Each speaker has a total of 500 watts power output distributed across three Naim Class A/B amplifiers: 280 W to the four woofers, 30 W to the midrange, and 90 W to the tweeter. The system also includes an integrated dual-stage power supply and a high-efficiency sculpted heat sink at the rear for thermal stability and reliable long-term operation.
- Wireless and connectivity technologies: The Diva Mezza Utopia utilizes Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology to deliver uncompressed, high-resolution wireless audio at 96kHz/24-bit quality, surpassing traditional CD quality without latency. A wired connection option is available for studio-grade resolution at 192kHz/24-bit. The system also features Intelligent Dynamics Clocking (IDC) to ensure exact synchronization between channels for a stable, coherent soundstage. Built-in Naim Pulse Platform enables smooth wireless streaming with support for AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, HDMI eARC, optical, and RCA inputs.
- Adaptive acoustic tuning: Equipped with Focal’s patented ADAPT (Adaptive Acoustic Personal Tuning) technology, the Diva Mezza Utopia automatically calibrates the sound based on room acoustics and user preferences for personalized listening experiences.
- Physical attributes: The Diva Mezza Utopia stands approximately 50 inches (127 cm) tall and weighs around 192 pounds (87 kg) per speaker. The cabinet volume is 62 litres, larger than the Diva Utopia's 50-litre volume. The speaker system is available in different interchangeable side panels, including wood panels and more to match various interiors.
- Sound performance: The Diva Mezza Utopia delivers a proper high-end sound from a two-speaker form factor, as stated in the Utopia review. The frequency response range is 27 Hz to 40 kHz, ensuring deep bass extension and ultra-high frequency clarity suitable for large listening spaces. The system is designed to deliver balanced, powerful, and reference-grade sound quality with exceptional dynamic range and detail fidelity across the frequency spectrum.
- Price: The Focal Diva Mezza Utopia retails for £55,000 / €65,000 / $69,000, making it a considerable jump up from the already expensive Utopia's price tag. However, this reflects its flagship status in the high-end active wireless loudspeaker segment.
During a preview event, the Diva Mezza Utopia was found to fill large spaces with a huge sense of scale, soaring dynamics, clear treble, and immense bass.
