Focal Trio11 BE – Versatile 3-Way/2-Way Monitor with Switchable Focus Mode

The Trio11 BE blends the power of a 3-way studio monitor with the precision of a compact 2-way system. Featuring an 11″ “W”-cone subwoofer, a 5″ midrange, and a 1″ Beryllium tweeter in a rotatable baffle, plus built-in trim EQ and a selectable Focus Mode, it delivers unmatched flexibility and fidelity.

Key Features

• 3-way design with Focus Mode switch: Full-range performance (30 Hz–40 kHz) switches to a 2-way mode (90 Hz–20 kHz) for mix-translatability checks via optional foot pedal
• Composite “W”-cone drivers: 11″ subwoofer and 5″ midrange deliver low distortion, smooth response, and controlled imaging
• Pure Beryllium inverted-dome tweeter: Exceptional clarity and extended response with minimal coloration
• Tri-amped power (550 W): 300 W (sub, Class G), 150 W (mid, Class G), 100 W (tweeter, Class AB)
• Adjustable tone control: Rear-panel EQ for bass, mid, and treble – plus input sensitivity, auto standby, and clipping indicators
• Rotatable baffle and porting: Allows horizontal or vertical placement with optimized driver alignment and port tuning
