Focal Aria SR 900

A bipolar design features drivers on both sides of the speaker cabinet, which radiate sound in two directions simultaneously. This creates a wider, more diffuse sound field that helps the speakers 'disappear' into the room, making surround effects feel more immersive and less localized to the speaker itself.

Yes, the SR 900 includes a Polyfix wall-mount system specifically designed for this purpose. Because it is a closed-cabinet speaker, it is optimized for wall mounting and won't suffer from the bass issues that rear-ported speakers might encounter when placed against a wall.

These speakers are quite efficient with a sensitivity of 90dB, meaning they don't require massive amounts of power. We recommend an amplifier capable of delivering between 25 and 120 watts per channel to get the best performance.

Focal uses flax fiber because it is incredibly lightweight yet rigid, which helps minimize unwanted vibrations. This results in a very natural, textured midrange that sounds less 'colored' or artificial than traditional synthetic materials.

While these are traditional surround speakers designed for side or rear channels, they integrate perfectly into a Dolby Atmos system. They provide the necessary ambient soundstage that complements overhead Atmos speakers, helping to create a cohesive 3D audio environment.

The SR 900 has a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms, which is standard for most home theater receivers. While it does dip to a minimum of 3.6 Ohms, almost any modern, reputable AV receiver will handle this load without issue.
