Our Review

Introduction

The Focal 300 IWLCR is a three-way in-wall loudspeaker designed to deliver high-quality audio performance in home theater systems. In-wall speakers have become increasingly popular for their ability to blend seamlessly into the room decor while providing immersive sound. The Focal 300 IWLCR aims to meet the demands of audio enthusiasts by offering exceptional sound reproduction and flexibility in installation.

Design and Build Quality

The Focal 300 IWLCR boasts a three-way design, which allows for enhanced audio performance. It features a 1-inch aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter that delivers crisp and detailed high frequencies. The midrange is handled by a 4-inch woven flax fiber driver with a rubber surround, providing smooth and accurate reproduction. The dual 6-1/2-inch woven flax fiber woofers with rubber surrounds handle the lower frequencies, delivering deep and impactful bass.

The construction of the Focal 300 IWLCR is of high quality, with the use of premium materials. The drivers are made from flax fiber, which combines lightness and rigidity for improved performance. The tweeter and midrange section can be adjusted to accommodate different orientations, allowing for precise sound dispersion. The speaker also comes with paintable, magnetic, bezel-free grilles that can be seamlessly integrated into any room decor. Additionally, an included black acoustic cloth helps hide the visibility of the drivers for a clean and polished look.

Performance

The Focal 300 IWLCR offers impressive performance specifications. With a sensitivity rating of 92dB, it can efficiently convert power into sound, ensuring that even low-powered amplifiers can drive it to high volume levels without distortion. The speaker has a frequency response range of 40kHz to 28Hz, covering a wide range of audible frequencies and providing a detailed soundstage.

One of the standout features of the Focal 300 IWLCR is its ability to deliver the signature "Focal" sound. Focal is renowned for its commitment to audio excellence, and this speaker doesn't disappoint. It produces a well-balanced sound with clear and articulate midrange frequencies, smooth highs, and deep, controlled bass.

The speaker's three-position high frequency and midrange frequency control allows users to fine-tune the sound to their preference. This flexibility ensures that the speaker can be optimized for different room acoustics or personal listening preferences. The mid-treble and tweeter plate is also rotatable, enabling precise sound directionality.

While the Focal 300 IWLCR performs admirably across the frequency spectrum, it is worth noting that it benefits from being paired with a capable subwoofer. This combination allows for a full-range performance, providing the depth and impact that may be lacking solely from the in-wall speakers.

Installation and User Experience

Installing the Focal 300 IWLCR is a straightforward process, thanks to its design features. The speaker offers easy adjustment of horizontal or vertical alignment, making it simple to position the sound exactly where desired. However, it is important to consider careful between-stud placement for horizontal spacing to ensure optimal performance.

The Focal 300 IWLCR utilizes a tool-less clamping system for installation, which can be convenient for experienced users. However, it may be confusing for first-time users who are not familiar with this type of system. It requires a bit of practice and understanding to ensure a secure and proper installation.

In terms of installation options, the Focal 300 IWLCR caters to different needs. It includes circular and rectangular magnetic grilles, allowing for in-ceiling installation as well. This versatility makes it suitable for a variety of home theater setups.

Comparisons and Competitors

When comparing the Focal 300 IWLCR to other in-wall speakers, it stands out for its exceptional sound quality and performance. The speaker's low-frequency extension is noteworthy, as it provides a level of depth and impact that is not typically found in other open-back architectural speakers. However, it is important to consider that bass performance may vary depending on the enclosure volume, and optimizing this aspect may require some experimentation.

In terms of price, the Focal 300 IWLCR falls into the higher end of the market. While it may not be the most affordable option, it justifies its investment with its pedigree and sound quality. For those seeking the very best in sound quality, there are next-level options available, but they come at a premium price.

Conclusion

The Focal 300 IWLCR is a top-tier in-wall loudspeaker that delivers exceptional audio performance. Its three-way design, premium materials, and adjustable features contribute to its ability to produce the signature "Focal" sound. The speaker's easy adjustment, paintable magnetic grilles, and included black acoustic cloth enhance its versatility and aesthetics.

While the Focal 300 IWLCR may require careful between-stud placement and familiarity with its tool-less clamping system, these aspects can be overcome with proper attention and understanding. Additionally, the need for a subwoofer to complement its bass performance should be considered for those seeking a full-range audio experience.

Overall, the Focal 300 IWLCR is a worthy investment for audio enthusiasts who prioritize sound quality and appreciate the craftsmanship behind a well-engineered speaker. Its performance, flexibility, and attention to detail make it an excellent choice for integrating high-quality audio into a home theater system.
