May 10, 2022 - The leading French brand in the audio sector unveils the 300 ICA6 angled in-ceiling loudspeaker at the ISE (Integrated System Europe) exhibition in Barcelona (10th-13th May). Discrete and easy to install, this versatile loudspeaker joins Focal’s current 300 Series line. By supplementing its range with a product for hi-fi or Home Cinema setups, Focal can offer a completely reinvigorated listening experience at home and confirms its position as a benchmark in the integrated solutions market.
FOCAL TECHNOLOGIES AND SAVOIR-FAIRE
Inspired by the 1000 ICA6 loudspeaker from the high-end 1000 Series range, the 300 ICA6 joins the 300 Series incorporating all the features that made it so successful: meticulous French manufacturing in Focal’s workshops in Saint-Étienne with an Aluminum/Magnesium inverted dome tweeter and Flax cone, exclusive technologies for high quality precision and total sonic coherence with the brand’s classic loudspeaker lines Aria and Kanta. In addition, the ready-to-paint magnetic grilles supplied with the product ensure a completely unobtrusive installation.
AN ANGLED IN-CEILING LOUDSPEAKER
The 300 ICA6 has a 61/2" (16.5cm) speaker driver and is angled at 35° to counteract the “shower effect” experienced with other loudspeakers. The angle also means that it can be positioned in several ways in the ceiling, including in corners for fully discreet sound delivery. Using the product in a Dolby Atmos®/ DTS:X loudspeaker greatly enhances 3D audio effects and the overall experience, making it the perfect complement for a 300 Series Home Cinema installation. The Easy Quick Install patented technology guarantees quick and tool-free installation, too.
AN ENDLESS PRODUCT PATHWAY
When it comes to designing, developing and manufacturing its products, Focal considers all the ways in which they will be used and tries to design a product pathway of discovery for its clients. Every Focal system can be added to and/or switched with the next range up within the universe of aesthetically and
acoustically harmonious products it has created. As the 300 ICA6 has a similar design and is the exact same size as the 1000 Series products, you can easily grow and develop your system.

Focal’s 300 ICA6 angled in-ceiling loudspeaker will be available September 2022 for $499. For more information, visit: https://www.focal.com/en/custom-integration/in-wall-in-ceiling-loudspeakers/300-series/in-ceiling-speakers/300-ica6
