Focal Professional Solo 6 ST6 Studio Monitor - BLACK

The Focal Solo 6 ST6 is a premium 2-way active studio monitor designed to deliver exceptional detail, transparency and dynamic control in modern production environments. With its advanced Beryllium tweeter, W-cone woofer and unique Focus Mode, it effectively gives you two reference perspectives in a single compact enclosure, helping you make faster, more confident mix decisions without constantly switching speakers.

Engineered for critical listening, Solo 6 combines cutting-edge acoustic design with flexible onboard tuning options, so you can adapt it precisely to your room, desk and workflow. Whether you are working in stereo, building an immersive Dolby Atmos or Sony 360RA rig, or simply need a brutally honest nearfield, Solo 6 provides a precise, musical and fatigue-free monitoring experience.

Two Monitors in One

Solo 6 features Focal’s Focus Mode, which lets you instantly switch from full 2-way operation to a 1-way mode that uses only the woofer. This gives you a second, more mid-forward reference without adding extra speakers or cabling. You can quickly check balances, vocal levels and midrange translation at the touch of a switch, staying in the sweet spot and keeping your workflow streamlined.

Cutting-Edge Focal Driver Technology

At the heart of Solo 6 are Focal’s flagship components: a 1 inch Beryllium inverted dome tweeter for ultra-precise, extended highs up to 40 kHz, and a 6.5 inch W-cone woofer for tight, controlled low end and articulate mids. TMD suspension technology reduces distortion in the crucial 1 kHz to 3 kHz range by up to 50%, so you hear more of your mix and less of the speaker, making EQ and balance decisions far more reliable.

Flexible Acoustic Tuning

Solo 6 offers a comprehensive set of onboard controls to tailor the monitor to your space. A variable high-pass filter lets you optimise the low end for full-range use or subwoofer integration, while a dedicated 160 Hz parametric control helps tame console or desk reflections. Additional shelving and EQ options for low, low-mid and high frequencies allow you to fine-tune the response so the speaker works with your room, not against it.

Ready for Immersive Setups

For engineers working in immersive formats, Solo 6 includes integrated inserts for wall and ceiling mounting, making it easy to deploy in Dolby Atmos and Sony 360RA systems. This mounting flexibility, combined with its compact footprint and high SPL capability, allows you to build accurate, space-efficient multi-speaker arrays that maintain Focal’s renowned clarity and consistency across every channel.

• Focus Mode Two-in-One Monitoring - Switchable Focus Mode lets you move from a full 2-way monitor to a 1-way woofer-only mode, giving you two distinct listening perspectives from a single speaker. This simplifies your setup, reduces the need for extra monitors and helps you check how your mix translates on more mid-focused systems.
• Beryllium Tweeter and W-Cone Woofer - The 1 inch Beryllium inverted dome tweeter and 6.5 inch W-cone woofer deliver a wide 40 Hz to 40 kHz frequency response in 2-way mode, with outstanding detail and transient accuracy. You hear subtle ambience, reverb tails and top-end air clearly, while the low end remains tight and controlled for confident decisions on bass and kick.
• TMD Suspension for Ultra-Low Distortion - Focal’s TMD suspension technology significantly reduces distortion in the 1 kHz to 3 kHz region, where the human ear is most sensitive. This cleaner midrange makes it easier to place vocals, guitars and synths in the mix, and helps prevent listening fatigue during long sessions.
• Advanced Room and Desk Compensation - With a variable high-pass filter, a 160 Hz parametric control and adjustable low, low-mid and high frequency levels, Solo 6 can be precisely tuned to your room and listening position. You can minimise console or desk reflections and adapt the monitor to different setups, improving translation to other systems.
