Entirely dedicated to acoustic performance and with a resolutely disruptive aesthetic: that, in a nutshell, is the Kanta DNA! It took three years of research and development to create this model, Kanta No. 2, the first in the range. With their new materials and effectiveness-focused design that give them their powerful identity, they come straight from our engineers' hearts. Focal offers a hitherto unknown amalgamation of technologies: the marriage of Beryllium, in the latest generation IAL3 tweeter, with Flax, for the midrange and bass drivers. The result is precise, detailed sound brimming with warmth and musicality. This is the start of a new era for those who love sound...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCabinet-work\u003cbr\u003eHIGH DENSITY POLYMER\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is designed and made to create acoustic softness and warmth: the density and stiffness of the baffle and shell materials, softened angles and double vents. The baffle is made of a new material to suit the acoustic parameters. It is moulded in one piece from high density polymer (HDP). This material has excellent performance: it is 70% denser than MDF, 15% stiffer and provides 25% more damping. The one-piece baffle totally eliminates any sound diffraction. Kanta incorporates Power Flow technology with two vents, on the front and rear faces, to limit bass compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMarriage of materials\u003cbr\u003eBERYLLIUM AND FLAX\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the very first time, a Flax sandwich cone speaker has been combined with a Beryllium tweeter. Flax is the answer to the low mass\/rigidity\/damping equation, leading to sound clarity and precision. This unique Flax\/Beryllium combination gives music incredible warmth and musicality. Made in France, this patented flax membrane has already proven itself in Focal home and in-car speakers. The midrange speaker uses TMD (Tuned Mass Damping) suspension, and every Kanta speaker is also equipped with an NIC (Neutral Inductance Circuit) driver, which stabilises the magnetic field for perfectly defined sound and better controlled bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNew tweeter \u003cbr\u003eDISTORTION IS THE ENEMY\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocal's research is geared towards reducing distortion in every register. With Kanta, the treble register is reproduced by a new pure Beryllium tweeter. This IAL3 tweeter combines the principles of IAL (Infinite Acoustic Loading) and IHL (Infinite Horn Loading) tweeters, both of which help with the absorption of waves, thus lowering the tweeter frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStyle\u003cbr\u003eAND THAT'S ALL...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur engineers have revisited their choice of ‘Focus Time’, which corrects speaker alignment, making them the same distance from the ear. The rear shell is made in one-piece integrally moulded wood. The Zamac base also brings out masses of character. With its spikes and cups, the base provides great stability from a very small footprint. Final details: the glass-covered top and magnetic grille fixings. When these are removed, they reveal the speakers' flax cones, the final design touch that gives Kanta its unique look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFinishes\u003cbr\u003eLATEST FASHION OR CLASSIC\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wide range of combinations are available to fit into every interior space.

The SuperTrax captures this spectrum and radiates the HF energy through 360 degrees, ensuring you’re not just listening to music, you are feeling it, perceiving it, and sensing it as well.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSupertweeter White Paper\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFyne Audio’s \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/files\/supertrax-whitepaper-7.pdf?v=1758062977\"\u003eSuperTrax white paper\u003c\/a\u003e, authored by technical director Dr. Paul Mills, demonstrates that musical instruments, speech, and percussion generate significant ultrasonic energy, often extending well past 40 kHz and up to 100 kHz. Research indicates that listeners perceive these components indirectly, through harmonic integrity, phase coherence, and even bone conduction, meaning they influence how we experience music even below the 20 kHz limit of conventional hearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBut aren’t recordings limited to 20 kHz?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s true that CD-quality audio is specified at 44.1 kHz sampling, with a nominal bandwidth of 20 kHz. However, this is not a hard ceiling. Vinyl, tape, and high-resolution digital formats routinely capture ultrasonic energy, and even some CDs allow material to leak above the cut-off depending on the filters used. More importantly, the benefit of SuperTrax is not limited to “playing” ultrasonic tones. By extending the system’s usable bandwidth, the super tweeter corrects high-frequency phase errors, which means the information you can hear is clearer, cleaner, and better timed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo what is the supertweeter actually reproducing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith high-resolution sources, SuperTrax reproduces real ultrasonic musical information—cymbal crashes, harmonics of strings and brass, and even sibilants in speech. With more bandwidth-limited formats, its role is equally important: it fills in where the main tweeter tails off, so that the combined acoustic response is smoother and more phase-coherent. The main tweeter’s behavior hasn’t changed, but the system as a whole no longer depends solely on its ragged roll-off. Instead, the supertweeter takes over gracefully, maintaining harmonic integrity and reducing smearing that would otherwise creep down into the audible range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Max Amplifier Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 W RMS\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for loudspeakers up to 98 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 Ohm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response (-6 dB):\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 kHz to 60 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDriver:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 mm thin-ply carbon diaphragm (TPCD) with neodymium magnet system\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3rd order high pass 16 kHz, Cryogenically treated\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustments:\u003c\/strong\u003e +\/-3 dB from nominal setting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (HWD):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.4\" x 5.5\" x 10.1” (86 x 140 x 257 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fyne Audio","offers":[{"title":"Walnut \/ No Cable Kit","offer_id":48275571343544,"sku":"SUPERTRAX WAL","price":4499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut \/ STC1 Premium Cable Kit","offer_id":48288052445368,"sku":"SUPERTRAX WAL+STC1","price":4948.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ No Cable Kit","offer_id":50960610558136,"sku":"SUPERTRAX BLK","price":3999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ STC1 Premium Cable Kit","offer_id":50960610590904,"sku":"SUPERTRAX BLK+STC1","price":4448.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/files\/VintageSuperTrax3Q.jpg?v=1741629956"},{"product_id":"parasound-jcm250-monoblock-power-amplifier-each","title":"Parasound JCM250 Monoblock Power Amplifier (each)","description":"\u003ch1\u003eParasound JCM250 Monoblock Power Amplifier (each)\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003eJust sounds like music.

Yet, studies by researchers such as Oohashi and Lenhardt have shown that these ultrasonic tones do influence our auditory experience, even if they’re not directly audible. The S-Trax captures this spectrum and radiates the HF energy through 360 degrees, ensuring you’re not just listening to music, you are feeling it, perceiving it, and sensing it as well.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSupertweeter White Paper\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFyne Audio’s \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/files\/supertrax-whitepaper-7.pdf?v=1758062977\"\u003eSuperTrax white paper\u003c\/a\u003e, authored by technical director Dr. Paul Mills, demonstrates that musical instruments, speech, and percussion generate significant ultrasonic energy, often extending well past 40 kHz and up to 100 kHz. Research indicates that listeners perceive these components indirectly, through harmonic integrity, phase coherence, and even bone conduction, meaning they influence how we experience music even below the 20 kHz limit of conventional hearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBut aren’t recordings limited to 20 kHz?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s true that CD-quality audio is specified at 44.1 kHz sampling, with a nominal bandwidth of 20 kHz. However, this is not a hard ceiling. Vinyl, tape, and high-resolution digital formats routinely capture ultrasonic energy, and even some CDs allow material to leak above the cut-off depending on the filters used. More importantly, the benefit of S-Trax is not limited to “playing” ultrasonic tones. By extending the system’s usable bandwidth, the super tweeter corrects high-frequency phase errors, which means the information you can hear is clearer, cleaner, and better timed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo what is the super tweeter actually reproducing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith high-resolution sources, S-Trax reproduces real ultrasonic musical information—cymbal crashes, harmonics of strings and brass, and even sibilants in speech. With more bandwidth-limited formats, its role is equally important: it fills in where the main tweeter tails off, so that the combined acoustic response is smoother and more phase-coherent. The main tweeter’s behavior hasn’t changed, but the system as a whole no longer depends solely on its ragged roll-off. Instead, the supertweeter takes over gracefully, maintaining harmonic integrity and reducing smearing that would otherwise creep down into the audible range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Max Amplifier Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 W RMS\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for loudspeakers up to 98 dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 Ohm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response (-6 dB):\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 kHz to 50 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDriver:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 mm magnesium dome with neodymium magnet system\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3rd order high pass 16 kHz, CryoLite treated\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustments:\u003c\/strong\u003e +\/-4.5 dB from nominal setting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (HWD):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.1\" x 3.2\" x 5.6\" (79 x 82 x 149 mm) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.2 lb.
