Focal Trio 6 black ST6 Studio Monitor

The Focal Trio 6 ST6 is a high-end 3-way active studio monitor designed for producers, mixers and engineers who demand absolute precision. Combining Focal’s flagship Beryllium tweeter, W-cone drivers and a unique dual Focus Mode, it effectively gives you three different monitors in one, helping you make confident decisions that translate in the real world.

With its extended frequency response, impressive SPL capability and ultra-low distortion, Trio 6 delivers a neutral, detailed soundstage that reveals every nuance of your mix. Whether you are sculpting low end, balancing dense midrange arrangements or fine-tuning top-end air, this monitor provides the clarity and control you need for professional results.

Three Monitors in One

Trio 6’s dual Focus Mode lets you switch between a full 3-way monitor, a 2-way midrange and tweeter configuration, and a 1-way full-range mid driver at the touch of a pedal. This gives you three distinct listening perspectives from a single speaker, making it easy to check translation, balance and impact without changing position or workflow.

Flagship Focal Components

At the heart of Trio 6 are Focal’s most advanced driver technologies: a 1-inch Beryllium inverted-dome tweeter for ultra-detailed highs, plus 5-inch and 8-inch W-cone drivers for midrange and sub bass. Together with carefully tuned analogue filtering, they deliver a remarkably neutral response, precise imaging and punchy, controlled low end.

Studio-Ready Control and Flexibility

Trio 6 includes a variable high-pass filter, a dedicated 160 Hz parametric EQ to tame console reflections, and adjustable bass, mid and treble levels. This onboard control makes it easier to adapt the monitor to your room and placement, so you can achieve a more accurate listening environment without relying solely on external processing.

Reinforced ST6 Cabinet

The ST6 series cabinet is built from thick, rigid MDF with internal bracing to minimise vibration and resonance. A large laminar port handles airflow efficiently, reducing port noise and distortion at higher volumes. The result is a stable, reliable monitoring platform that maintains clarity and definition even when you are working loud.

• Dual Focus Mode - Instantly switch between 3-way, 2-way and 1-way full-range operation for three distinct monitoring perspectives from one speaker. This makes it easy to check how your mix translates on different playback styles without changing monitors or listening position.
• Beryllium Tweeter and W-Cone Drivers - The 1-inch Beryllium inverted-dome tweeter and W-cone woofer/subwoofer combination deliver exceptional detail, neutrality and dynamics. You hear transients, ambience and micro-details clearly, helping you make precise EQ and compression decisions.
• Advanced Acoustic Tuning - Onboard controls for high-pass filtering, low and high shelving, midrange EQ around 160 Hz and overall sensitivity allow you to tailor Trio 6 to your room. This helps compensate for console reflections and placement issues, improving accuracy and mix translation.
• Reinforced ST6 Enclosure with Laminar Port - The rigid MDF cabinet with internal bracing and a large laminar vent reduces unwanted resonance and port noise. This keeps the low end tight and controlled, even at high SPLs, so you can trust what you are hearing when shaping bass and kick.
