Focal SM9 Left active studio monitor (single)
Product no: SS-FOCALSM9 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

With the SM9 monitor speaker, Focal set a new standard for reference sound. This studio speaker reproduces your audio signal in minute detail without sacrificing any of the original dynamics, ensuring an accurate stereo image. One of the main innovations of this Focal monitor is that it basically offers two monitor speakers in a single, unique cabinet. As such, the SM9 allows for both a three-way monitor mode and a two-way monitor mode. This Left version is to be placed on - you guessed it - the left side of your setup.
