Focal Alpha 80 Evo 8" 2-Way Powered Studio Monitor
The Focal Alpha 80 Evo is an 8" nearfield reference monitor designed to reveal the true character of your mix with clarity and depth. Featuring Focal's proprietary Slatefiber woofer and aluminum inverted dome tweeter, it delivers a consistent tonal balance at any volume.
With 115 watts of bi-amplified Class D power, it has the muscle for mid-sized studios while maintaining precision for detailed work. Its frequency response of 38Hz to 22kHz provides ample low-end for confident bass decisions, and its French-made drivers ensure accuracy over hype.
Sound That Tells the Truth
The Alpha 80 Evo delivers an honest, uncolored sound. There’s no exaggerated bass or boosted highs — just a neutral and accurate response that reveals every detail of your mix. Its Slatefiber cone, made from recycled carbon fibers and thermoplastic polymer, is designed for optimal balance between rigidity, lightness, and damping. The result? Precise transient response, extended bass, and minimal resonance interference.
Slatefiber Woofer Technology: The 8" cone delivers precise control over low and mid frequencies, producing tight, accurate bass without muddiness. Its natural damping ensures clear note attack and decay, making it easy to fine-tune kick drums, bass lines, and synth pads.
Aluminum Inverted Dome Tweeter: Focal's 1" tweeter design provides wide, consistent dispersion and detailed high frequencies without harshness. The inverted dome acts like a micro speaker, preserving spatial accuracy across a broader listening area than standard tweeters.
Wide Frequency Response: With a range of 38Hz–22kHz, the Alpha 80 Evo ensures confident bass decisions and captures the full detail of high frequencies. Its tonal balance remains consistent at any volume, so what you hear at 70dB translates perfectly when you turn it up.
Shape Your Sound to Your Space
Every room is different, and the Alpha 80 Evo knows it. Rather than forcing you to work around a one-size-fits-all tuning, Focal built in adjustable controls that let you optimize the monitors for your specific environment. Whether you're dealing with bass buildup in a small bedroom or trying to tame reflections in a live room, these tweaks give you the flexibility to achieve accurate monitoring anywhere.
Dual Shelving Filters: Fine-tune the low end with ±6dB of adjustment from 0–250Hz, perfect for controlling bass buildup or compensating for smaller rooms. The high-frequency shelving offers ±3dB from 4.5–35kHz, letting you brighten or smooth the top end to match your taste and room acoustics.
Adjustable Input Sensitivity: Switch between 0dB and +6dB sensitivity to match your interface's output level, ensuring optimal gain staging and headroom. This simple feature helps you avoid clipping or running your monitors too hot, preserving dynamic range and clarity.
Laminar Bass Port: The front-firing port design extends low-frequency response while minimizing turbulence and port noise. Unlike rear-ported designs that require careful placement away from walls, the Alpha 80 Evo gives you more flexibility in room positioning without sacrificing bass performance.
Built for Real Studios
Studio gear needs to be both functional and reliable. The Alpha 80 Evo checks both boxes with thoughtful design choices that make daily use smoother. From the multiple input options to the disengageable auto-standby, these monitors are built to fit seamlessly into your workflow rather than dictate it.
Three Input Options: Connect via XLR, 1/4" TRS, or RCA inputs, accommodating up to three simultaneous audio sources. Switch between your interface, a hardware mixer, and a portable device without constantly swapping cables — ideal for studios that handle multiple workflows.
Disengageable Auto-Standby: The monitors automatically power down after 15 minutes of inactivity to save energy, but you can disable this feature when you need to. Perfect for late-night sessions at low volumes when you don't want the monitors unexpectedly shutting off mid-mix.
Durable MDF Cabinet with Laminar Port: The textured black vinyl finish and molded side panels look professional while the internal construction minimizes cabinet resonance. Included protective grilles keep the drivers safe when you're not actively working, and wall-mounting inserts provide installation flexibility.
Honest Sound, Honest Mixes
The Focal Alpha 80 Evo delivers honest, detailed sound, giving you a true picture of your mixes without artificial enhancements. With French-built drivers, room-tuning options, and enough power for any genre, it's the perfect tool for producers aiming for mixes that translate across all systems.
