Know before you buy
Yes, the Theva°3 is a passive speaker and does not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect it to an external receiver or integrated amplifier with a recommended power output between 40 and 250 watts.
Absolutely. The Theva°3 is designed to be the centerpiece of a home cinema system and is timbre-matched to work seamlessly with other speakers in the Focal Theva range, such as the center channel and surround models.
Focal’s exclusive Slatefiber technology uses recycled non-woven carbon fibers to create a rigid, lightweight, and well-damped cone. This results in a rich, dynamic midrange and tight, controlled bass response that minimizes distortion.
Yes, the Theva°3 features magnetic grilles that are easy to remove if you prefer the look of the exposed drivers. They attach securely without the need for visible mounting holes, maintaining a clean aesthetic.
The speakers are designed to be freestanding. They include both spikes for carpeted floors to ensure stability and vibration decoupling, as well as bumpers for hard surfaces like wood or tile.
The Theva°3 utilizes a 1-inch TNF tweeter, which is a signature Focal design known for its smooth, clear, and precise high-frequency reproduction. It effectively reduces distortion to provide a detailed and non-fatiguing listening experience.
