With a sleek design and easy installation, it aims to provide a seamless audio experience for both music enthusiasts and home theater aficionados. In this review, we will delve into the various features and specifications of the On Wall 302, exploring its design, sound quality, compatibility, aesthetics, and more.

Design and Installation

The On Wall 302's architectural design allows for seamless integration into any home decor. Whether you prefer a horizontal or vertical installation, this speaker can adapt to your specific setup. Its slim profile and lightweight construction make it easy to mount on the wall, ensuring a hassle-free installation process. Additionally, the On Wall 302 comes with optional stands, providing an alternative placement option for those who prefer not to mount it on the wall.

Sound Quality

Equipped with four 4" flax mid/bass drivers and a 1" aluminum/magnesium tweeter, the On Wall 302 offers an impressive sound experience. The combination of these drivers allows for precise imaging and clear dialog reproduction, creating a lifelike audio experience. The frequency response of 50 Hz to 28 kHz (+/-3 dB) ensures that the speaker can handle a wide range of frequencies, capturing the intricacies of both music and movie soundtracks. Furthermore, the On Wall 302's high sensitivity of 91 dB (2.83V/1m) ensures that it can deliver robust sound even with lower power inputs.

One notable feature of the On Wall 302 is its ability to create a wide soundstage. This means that the speaker can produce a sense of spaciousness, allowing the sound to extend beyond the physical boundaries of the speaker itself. This immersive listening experience adds depth and realism to your audio, enhancing your enjoyment of music and movies.

Compatibility and Integration

The On Wall 302 is designed to work seamlessly with other Focal speaker ranges, such as the 300 Series, Flax Dome range, and Aria range. This compatibility allows for easy integration into an existing Focal speaker setup or the creation of a cohesive home theater system. By using speakers from the same brand and series, you can ensure consistent sound characteristics throughout your audio setup, resulting in a more immersive and harmonious experience.

Aesthetics and Build Quality

The On Wall 302 features a modern and decor-friendly design, making it an attractive addition to any room. Its sleek profile and clean lines blend well with various interior styles, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into your living space. Additionally, the On Wall 302 comes with a rotating Focal logo, giving you the flexibility to position it horizontally or vertically while maintaining a consistent orientation. This small detail adds a touch of customization to its placement, allowing you to align the speaker according to your preference.

In terms of build quality, the On Wall 302 is constructed using high-quality materials that ensure durability and longevity.
