AMERICAS-ONLY: Enter now for your chance to win a pair of Focal Clear Mg Professional headphones, worth $1499!
Founded in Saint-Étienne in 1979, French speaker manufacturers Focal have earned a reputation for high‑quality sound reproduction through a combination of solid engineering and innovative use of materials. Their products span the worlds of hi-fi, studio and automotive loudspeakers and, more recently, headphones.
The company’s debut pair, the Spirit Professional, were an instant hit on their launch in 2014, combining excellent isolation and comfort with a revealing, open sound that made them ideal for both tracking and mixing. They soon followed up with an open‑backed design, the Clear Professional, a premium set of headphones suitable for even the most critical mixing and mastering roles.
The Prize
Up for grabs in this exclusive SOS competition is the Clear Mg Professional, the latest evolution in Focal’s studio headphone design. The innovation here is in the use of pure magnesium for the all‑important driver — in this case, a 40mm inverted‑dome type with an ‘M’‑shaped profile. This combination of material and construction yields a super‑fast response and faithful reproduction of transients, while minimising distortion. And as with Focal’s previous headphones, comfort hasn’t been neglected: the headband has been specially designed to maintain even weight distribution, and incorporates memory foam for a consistent fit, making the Clear Mg Professional ideal for longer mixing and mastering sessions.
