Focal Chora 826-D Floorstanding Speaker with Built-in Dolby Atmos (Pair)

Chora 826-D is a loudspeaker equipped with a specific speaker driver that reproduces Dolby Atmos® effects: for ultra-realistic 3D soundtracks and total immersion in the films you watch. Positioned on the top of the loudspeaker, this full-range speaker driver directs the sound towards the ceiling to reflect it to the listener. Action scenes in the air, pouring rain, or rolling thunder are all brought to life. At the same time, its directional baffle allows you to locate the sound effects as though you had loudspeakers in the ceiling! Imagine a scene in a house: you hear conversations, but also the noise of cutlery, of footsteps... all of these spatialized in three dimensions as though you were there!

Combining French manufacturing and design, this product also incorporates exclusive Focal technologies, particularly the Slatefiber cone of the midrange and bass speaker drivers or the Aluminium/Magnesium TNF tweeter for greater treble clarity.

For example, combined with the Chora Surround and Chora Center speakers, or the Chora Center and Chora 806 speakers, Chora 826-D guarantees a sensational system.

Focal Chora 826-D Video Review:

Dolby Atmos® Effect

Dolby Atmos® is a technology developed specifically for audio products. Dolby Atmos®-equipped loudspeakers are “enabled speakers”: in addition to their speaker drivers in the front panel (horizontal channels), they incorporate a speaker driver on the top (vertical channel) which reflects the sound around the entire listening room. This technology also isolates each sound from the original soundtrack and mixes, like an independent audio object, for the most detailed sound reproduction. With this technology, the emotion of cinema is transported into the heart of your lounge.

THE TNF TWEETER

A Focal exclusive and made in France in Focal workshops from an Aluminium/Magnesium alloy, this tweeter offers a gamut of benefits, especially in sound spatialization. With this tweeter, there is no dearth of sound harmony and precision. 

THE SLATEFIBER CONE
Also made in France in Focal's workshops, it is characterized by a rich, dynamic, and balanced sound, particularly in the midranges, as well as a stunning aesthetic thanks to its “slate” effect. It is the fruit of several years of R&D: the engineers have mixed ultra-lightweight recycled non-woven carbon fibers, best-in-class in the world of audio– with a thermoplastic polymer. The amalgamation of these materials offers stellar acoustic performance.

To guarantee you the best Home Cinema system, different configurations are possible with the Chora line and Focal products.
To customize, add one of the following subwoofers to your system: Sub 1000F, Sub Air, or Sub 600P (available from September 2020).
