Focal Alpha 80 EVO Active Studio Monitor

The Focal Alpha 80 Evo is a powerful active 2-way studio monitor designed for producers, engineers and creators who need honest, full-range monitoring at higher sound levels. With an 8 inch Slatefiber woofer, aluminium inverted dome tweeter and dual Class D amplification, it delivers extended low end, detailed highs and impressive dynamics, making it ideal for mixing, mastering and broadcast work in modern project and professional studios.

Offering flexible connectivity for up to three audio sources, acoustic tuning controls and a compact bass-reflex design, Alpha 80 Evo is built to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of rooms and setups. Its neutral voicing and low distortion help reveal the smallest details in your mix, so you can work faster and make confident decisions that translate outside the studio.

Neutral, Detailed Monitoring

At the heart of the Alpha 80 Evo is Focal’s 8 inch Slatefiber woofer, engineered for a balanced, neutral response and very low distortion. Paired with a 1 inch aluminium inverted dome tweeter, it delivers a wide frequency range from 38 Hz to 22 kHz, with tight, controlled bass and smooth, precise highs. This clarity across the spectrum helps you hear subtle EQ moves, reverb tails and stereo placement, so your mixes stay controlled and musical.

Power and Dynamics for Larger Rooms

With 80 watts of Class D power driving the woofer and 35 watts for the tweeter, Alpha 80 Evo offers plenty of headroom and a maximum SPL of up to 106 dB at 1 metre. The high-current amplifiers keep transients punchy and defined, even at higher listening levels, making this monitor particularly well suited to larger rooms, bass-heavy genres and situations where you need to feel the low end without sacrificing accuracy.

Flexible Connectivity and Control

Alpha 80 Evo can accommodate up to three audio sources at once via balanced XLR, balanced TRS and unbalanced RCA inputs. On the rear panel you will also find adjustable HF and LF shelving controls, plus a sensitivity control and switchable auto standby. This flexibility makes it easy to integrate the monitor into different studio setups, fine-tune it to your room and workflow, and keep power consumption under control when not in use.

Compact, Studio-Friendly Design

A large-section front vent supports the compact bass-reflex design, helping to deliver solid low end while keeping the cabinet footprint manageable. Rounded contours and robust side panels are designed to enhance sound dispersion and reduce unwanted resonances. Combined with the option for wall or ceiling mounting, Alpha 80 Evo can be positioned to suit your space while maintaining reliable, consistent performance.

• 8 inch Slatefiber Woofer - The Slatefiber cone is designed for neutrality and low distortion, giving you tight, controlled bass and a balanced midrange. This helps you judge low-end energy and mid detail accurately, so your mixes translate more reliably to headphones, hi-fi systems and club PAs.
• 1 inch Aluminium Inverted Dome Tweeter - The aluminium tweeter delivers clear, finely detailed treble up to 22 kHz. Its inverted dome design helps with dispersion and precision, revealing subtle top-end information like cymbal texture, vocal air and reverb tails, which is crucial for professional-quality mixes and masters.
• Dual Class D Amplification - Separate Class D amplifiers provide 80 watts for the woofer and 35 watts for the tweeter, ensuring strong dynamics and controlled transients. The high-current design keeps the sound composed at higher volumes, so you can work confidently at realistic listening levels without the monitor breaking up.
• Triple Input Connectivity with Acoustic Tuning - Balanced XLR, balanced TRS and unbalanced RCA inputs allow you to connect multiple sources such as an audio interface, mixer or media player. Adjustable HF and LF shelving, sensitivity and auto standby controls help you tailor the speaker to your room and workflow, improving accuracy and day-to-day usability.
