Focal Backcan
Best safety solution for professional in-wall and ceiling speaker installations.
This is the invisible upgrade that turns a standard architectural speaker installation into a code-compliant, professional-grade setup. By adding a sealed, fire-rated enclosure, you gain peace of mind and significantly tighter, more controlled bass response. It’s a necessary trade-off: you lose a bit of installation simplicity, but you gain critical safety and superior acoustic isolation.
