Focal Alpha 50 EVO Active Studio Monitor

The Focal Alpha 50 Evo is a compact, active 2-way studio monitor designed for accurate, detailed monitoring in smaller rooms and nearfield setups. Combining a 5 inch Slatefiber woofer with a 1 inch aluminium inverted dome tweeter and powerful Class D amplification, it delivers impressive dynamics, a neutral tonal balance and revealing clarity at both low and high listening levels.

With multiple input options, flexible acoustic controls and a robust, modern enclosure, Alpha 50 Evo adapts easily to different studios and working styles. Whether you are producing, mixing or editing content, it offers a dependable, honest sound that helps you make confident decisions and translate your work beyond the studio.

Neutral, Detailed Monitoring for Confident Mixes

Alpha 50 Evo is voiced for a highly neutral tonal balance, so what you hear is a faithful representation of your mix rather than a flattering version of it. The 45 Hz to 22 kHz frequency response and carefully matched drivers reveal fine details, ambience and problem areas, helping you to judge EQ, compression and effects with precision. This accuracy at both quiet and loud listening levels makes it a reliable reference throughout the entire production process.

Slatefiber Woofer for Punchy, Controlled Low End

At the heart of Alpha 50 Evo is a 5 inch Slatefiber woofer, a Focal technology developed to deliver fast, controlled bass and a solid low-mid response. This gives kick drums, bass lines and low synths the definition they need without sounding boomy or woolly. The result is a tight, articulate bottom end that lets you balance the low frequencies in your mix with confidence, even in compact studio spaces.

High Headroom Class D Amplification

Dedicated Class D amplifiers supply 35 watts to the woofer and 25 watts to the tweeter, providing high current capacity for excellent control of signal dynamics. This allows Alpha 50 Evo to reach a maximum SPL of 101 dB at 1 metre without unwanted distortion, so transient detail remains intact and the stereo image stays stable, even when you push the levels during tracking or mix checks.

Flexible Connectivity and Acoustic Tuning

Alpha 50 Evo is designed to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of setups. Balanced TRS and XLR inputs, plus an unbalanced RCA input with compensated sensitivity, make it easy to connect to audio interfaces, mixers and other studio gear. Rear-panel controls for sensitivity, LF shelving, HF shelving, bass level and auto standby allow you to tailor the monitor to your room and workflow, whether you are working on a desk, in a project studio or in a more complex multi-speaker configuration.

Compact, Modern Design for Any Workspace

The compact footprint and bass-reflex enclosure with rounded contours make Alpha 50 Evo easy to place in tight spaces while maintaining good acoustic performance. Robust side panels and integrated wall and ceiling mounting inserts give you flexible installation options, helping you to optimise monitor positioning in a variety of rooms and setups. Its clean, modern look fits naturally into contemporary studios and creative workspaces.
