Focal Kanta No.1 - 2-way Bookshelf Speaker

Focal Kanta No.1 is a high performance 2-way bookshelf speaker that packs mightily impressive performance into a compact enclosure. Designed to reconnect you with your music. Kanta is entirely dedicated to acoustic performance whilst having a unique and eye catching aesthetic.

Kanta Concept

Kanta No.1 was created after three years of extensive research and development. With exclusive new materials and performance focused design the Kanta No.1 embodies all that is Focal.

With the Kanta No.1 Focal have combined class leading technologies - for the very first time, a Flax sandwich cone speaker has been combined with a Beryllium tweeter. Flax is the answer to the low mass/rigidity/damping equation, leading to sound clarity and precision. This unique Flax/Beryllium combination gives music incredible warmth and musicality. The midrange speaker uses TMD (Tuned Mass Damping) suspension, and every Kanta speaker is also equipped with an NIC (Neutral Inductance Circuit) motor, which stabilises the magnetic field for perfectly defined sound and better controlled bass.. This is the start of a new era for audiophiles.

High Density Polymer

Everything from the density and stiffness of the baffle and shell materials, softened angles and double vents is designed and made to create acoustic softness and warmth. The baffle is made of a new material to suit the acoustic parameters. It is moulded in one piece from high-density polymer (HDP).

This material has excellent performance, it is 70% denser than MDF, 15% stiffer and provides 25% more damping. The one-piece baffle totally eliminates any sound diffraction. Kanta incorporates Power Flow technology with two vents, on the front and rear faces, to limit bass compression.

Where Performance Meets Style

The unique design of Kanta No.1 isn’t just about aesthetics, it is performance lead, the clever design of the front baffle ensures ideal alignment of each drive unit to help ensure perfect timing. The cabinet is made in one-piece integrally moulded wood. When the grilles are removed, they reveal the speakers beautiful flax cones, the final design touch that gives Kanta No.1 its unique look.
