Focal’s new loudspeaker, Diva Mezza Utopia, pushes the boundaries of wireless Hi-Fi to new limits says the maker. According to details provided, Diva Mezza Utopia is available exclusively to the Focal Powered by Naim network of authorised retailers, however with its abilities and connectivity to home automation platforms, there is strong potential for installers we well. The product is available now at a quoted end user price of £55K.
Described as a bold new evolution in the Diva Utopia line from the French company, the offering combines wireless, active and connected concepts to be the pinnacle of Focal’s craftsmanship and technological expertise. With its striking design and strong acoustic performance, Diva Mezza Utopia has been created to transform the home listening experience by delivering immersive sound with remarkable depth.
Experiencing the product recently at a London showcase, the audio performance is very strong and the speakers, though imposing, are aesthetically impressive and have real presence in the space even before listening to them.
Larger and more powerful than its predecessor, the Diva Mezza Utopia has been delivered to create the acoustic authority of a full high-end system within an integrated all-in-one product. Its four 8in ‘W’ cone woofers (at 20.5cm, they are 4cm larger than Diva Utopia) are configured in a push-push layout, generating deep, dynamic and controlled bass. This low-end response lays the foundation to allow the full capabilities of the ‘M’-shaped Beryllium tweeter and ‘W’ cone midrange driver to shine, resulting in a wider, more articulate soundstage, says the maker.
As an active loudspeaker, Diva Mezza Utopia integrates a re-engineered Naim Audio electronics package. Delivering 500W per speaker, the system features a dual-stage power supply for strong dynamics and precision power management across the frequency range. At the rear, the attractive sculpted, high efficiency heat sink ensures thermal stability and long-term reliability. Designed to perform in rooms up to 100m², Mezza Utopia exemplifies Focal’s vision of ‘New Hi-Fi’: where cutting edge acoustic design and state-of-the-art electronics converge with a seamless, intelligent user experience.
For the right customer, and you will need the right customer for this proposition, it is a very powerful statement.
High Resolution & Personalised Settings
To meet the demands of high-resolution wireless listening, the Diva Utopia range introduces a suite of technical innovations. First up, Ultra Wideband (UWB) – a unique audio innovation that enables uncompressed, high-resolution signal transmission at 96kHz/24-bit, wirelessly. UWB has been created to deliver the clarity and precision of a wired connection, surpassing traditional CD quality without the physical constraints of cabling. For listeners seeking absolute fidelity,
a direct wired connection is also available, unlocking studio-grade resolution at 192kHz/24-bit. Complementing this is the Intelligent Dynamics Clocking (IDC), a precision clock-control system that ensures exact synchronisation between channels for a coherent, stable soundstage. Data transfer is defined by speed, reliability and timing accuracy. Additionally, Focal’s patented ADAPT (Adaptive Acoustic Personal Tuning) technology uses an algorithm to calibrate the system to both room acoustics and user preferences. Accessible via the Focal & Naim app, ADAPT delivers a finely tuned, personalised listening experience.
Freedom
Like Diva Utopia, Diva Mezza Utopia benefits from the Focal & Naim ecosystem through the advanced Pulse Platform. It offers extensive wireless connectivity with support for Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Google Cast, and UPnP, enabling access to streaming services including Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz Connect, and QQ Music (China).
The system supports high-resolution multiroom streaming and is compatible with smart home platforms such as Control4, Crestron, Savant and RTI. Users can control the system via the Focal & Naim app, the included remote control, or voice assistants like Google Assistant and Siri. Whether you’re listening to music, watching films, gaming, or enjoying vinyl, every detail is engineered for a seamless user experience.
Sculptural Design, Unique Finish
The body is crafted from high-density polymer using a low-pressure moulding process, ensuring precise construction, efficient material use, and acoustic optimisation. The speaker rests on a double-level, bevelled base and features signature floating side panels – a signature of the Diva Utopia range. These panels are made from felt, an eco-friendly yet refined material, presented in a new ivory hue that highlights the speaker’s contours and adds brightness to any environment. The design is further elevated by distinctive touches, including a dual red and black grille on the tweeter and a brushed aluminium band encircling it. Together, they form the iconic ‘signature watch’ detail – an emblem of Focal’s Utopia excellence.
