Made in France, this speaker utilizes flagship speaker technologies, including Beryllium tweeters and 'W' cones, to provide an immersive audio experience. With adjustable mids/tweeter section and Dolby Atmos compatibility, the Focal 1000 ICA6 offers customizable sound positioning and optimized sound in the listening room. In this review, we will dive deep into the design, sound quality, performance, and limitations of the Focal 1000 ICA6 to help you make an informed decision.

Design and Build Quality

The Focal 1000 ICA6 features an in-ceiling design, allowing for discreet integration into any room. With identical design and dimensions to the Focal 300 Series products, this speaker ensures a seamless aesthetic when combined with other Focal speakers in your setup. The easy and tool-free installation process, thanks to the Easy Quick Install system, makes it a breeze to set up the Focal 1000 ICA6. Additionally, the magnetic grilles provided with both square and circular options allow for easy attachment and removal, ensuring a clean and polished appearance. The grilles are also ready for painting, enabling you to customize them to match your room's decor.

Sound Quality

When it comes to sound quality, the Focal 1000 ICA6 truly shines. With its high-caliber sound performance, this speaker delivers rich and detailed audio across a wide frequency range. The utilization of exclusive Focal technology, including Beryllium tweeters and 'W' cones, ensures exceptional clarity and accuracy in reproducing music and movie soundtracks. What sets the Focal 1000 ICA6 apart is its adjustable mids/tweeter section, allowing you to target the listening position with a tilt angle of +/-30°. This feature enables you to customize the sound dispersion, ensuring an immersive audio experience regardless of where you are in the room.

Performance and Functionality

The Focal 1000 ICA6 incorporates flagship speaker technologies to deliver outstanding performance. The Beryllium tweeters offer exceptional detail and precision in high-frequency reproduction, providing a lifelike soundstage. The 'W' cones, made from a composite sandwich material, offer excellent rigidity and damping properties, resulting in accurate and dynamic midrange and bass response. The tilt angle adjustment of 35° further enhances the sound projection, ensuring optimal audio coverage in your room.

One notable advantage of the Focal 1000 ICA6 is its upgrade compatibility with the Focal 300 Series. This allows you to easily expand your audio setup without sacrificing consistency in design and sound quality. Whether you're building a stereo system or a full home cinema setup, the Focal 1000 ICA6 offers compatibility and flexibility to meet your needs.

Limitations

While the Focal 1000 ICA6 offers impressive features and performance, there are a few limitations to consider. Firstly, it is only sold as a pair, which may not be suitable for those who require a single speaker or an odd number for their setup. Additionally, buyers should be aware that they are responsible for shipping expenses, which can add to the overall cost. Pricing information for the Focal 1000 ICA6 is not provided, making it difficult to assess its value compared to other options in the market. Lastly, the lack of detailed technical specifications can make it challenging to make precise comparisons with other speakers.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Focal 1000 ICA6 is a remarkable in-ceiling loudspeaker that delivers high-caliber sound quality and seamless integration into custom installations. With its adjustable sound positioning, Dolby Atmos compatibility, and compatibility with Stereo and Home Cinema systems, it offers a versatile audio solution for various setups. The utilization of exclusive Focal technology, including Beryllium tweeters and 'W' cones, ensures exceptional sound reproduction. The easy installation process, discreet design, and upgrade compatibility with the Focal 300 Series further enhance its appeal. However, the limited availability, buyer responsibility for shipping expenses, lack of pricing information, and detailed technical specifications can be drawbacks for some potential buyers. Overall, if you prioritize high-quality sound, customizable sound positioning, and seamless integration, the Focal 1000 ICA6 is worth considering for your home theater setup.

THE ULTIMATE HOME CINEMA EXPERIENCE

With the ability to be positioned horizontally or vertically, 1000 IWSUB Utopia has been designed to assemble perfectly with the 1000 IWLCR Utopia 3-way in-wall loudspeaker, enhancing the performance of your Home Cinema installation. The option to customise the impedance of the speaker drivers according to the number of products assembled allows the system's performance to be adjusted to enjoy an exceptional, bespoke installation.

Optimised acoustic performance - 'W' CONE

The 'W' sandwich cone perfectly optimises the frequency response curve by fully mastering the three key parameters of lightness, rigidity and damping. When you're listening, it creates total sound transparency and a very low distortion rate: the finesse of the resulting sound rendering is exceptional.

Incomparable purity - BERYLLIUM TWEETER

The only metal rigid enough to scratch glass, Beryllium is the material of choice for a tweeter cone. Thanks to the creation of a pure Beryllium inverted dome capable of covering over five octaves, the only one of its kind in the world, the purity of the sound reproduction is incomparable.
